An Inspiration !.......

by The Squirrell 9. April 2011 00:16

After my transplant I try to make the best of each day, but do admit

some days I struggle, against the lethergy, sickness, aches, and general

feeling poo that the drugs bring on...


BUT.... I have an inspirational Nan!


I adore her, and am stunned at her determination, good humour, feisty

spirit, wisdom, and skills!!


She is now 90+, and fought breast cancer at 82, collapsed lungs, and DVT

at 83, has arthritis, bad lung function, oestoperosis, etc etc.


To keep her mobile I bought her a car some years ago, which see adores!

However, someone dented it in a car park and broke her heart! So over the

last few days......


SHE FILLED THE DENT, HAND SANDED IT, RESPRAYED THE WING, POLISHED IT OUT, AND BUFFED THE CAR!!


WOW!....


Here's to "My Nanna"! May we all possess just a TENTH of her spirit to help us

through life?!!

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
