3 Years!!

by The Squirrell 2. January 2012 01:02

Today is my 3rd "Birthday"!!

 

It is the 3rd anniversary of my Heart transplant!

 

Today has been one of mixed emotions... I was having

a wonderful celebration lunch with my Jane, my parents

and the family, when my thoughts turned again to my

donors family, who's day was no doubt the opposite...

 

I will be eternally grateful to my donor for his generous

signing of his donor card, and of course to all the wonderful

staff at QEH who continue to support my journey...


Watch this space for 2012s journeys!!

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.
