Re: Heart Transplant Nancy, I am both excited for you and a little jealous. How can I possibly be jealous of someone who has undergone a major operation you ask? Well I guess I will have to PM and ask a few questions. I will be going in sometime in the near future for a work up for a possible transplant. What I would give to be able to be healthier and not have this ICD, even tho I know that it is my protector. So happy for you....seriously. Wish I could be there to give you the BIGGEST hug!! Stay well and take care of yourself. I have a little guardian  who watches over me in my Mended Hearts Support group. He is a heart recipient since 2003. You would NEVER know. I thank God for people like him, who encourage people like lil ole me!

Re: Heart Transplant I understand the jealousy thing, too, a new lease on life! Not envy like wanting to take it away from you, but wishing we all could have that chance. My doctor and I discussed it and if I were younger I would definitely be a candidate, but I was told the cutoff is 62 and that's how old I am. Of course, the owner of the Carolina Panthers just got one at age 72 -- but there was a wink and a nod and the doctor admitted that where there is enough money, suddenly a heart is found for them.
I more than understand since they aren't growing hearts on trees, and wholeheartedly agree that a younger person should be a candidate before someone my age. Still, didn't this guy's money take away a heart from a younger candidate? More medical moral dillema. _________________ Elizabeth |

Re: Heart Transplant You don't have to be particularly rich to cut in line; no politician has to wait as long as a mere citizen.
