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.
