    Transplant

    Hi Im Karen
    I am a 42 year old mother and had my heart transplant April 6th 1998. I have a 15 year old son who has HCM and had a ICD put in Last year. Since receiving my heart I have been able to do things I never was able to do.I feel great and am greatful for every day I have. Anyone who ever needs to talk feel free to contact me.


    Thanks for making me feel so welcomed

    Karen.

    Thanks for sharing such a positive story. It must feel great being able to engage in activities that once were impossible. Thanks for opening up and sharing.

      Karen welcome aboard it is so wonderful to hear from someone who has had their new heart for a while and is doing well. Mine is almost 15 months old now and I feel great. I am 58. It is truly a miracle. Keep in touch.
