Hello everyone, Let me start by saying im honored to share my story. I was born on January 22, 1972 in Pensacola Florida. Twenty-Six i was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Eight years later i would have my first transplant at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. I was very fortunate to have great family support. My transplant was complicated by acute renal failure. Coming up on year 6 post transplant. I was told my heart was dying. I would need another transplant. I developed Coronary Artery Disease. A condition they would call Post Transplant Vasculopathy. On 1/10/2012 I would have my second heart transplant. I suffered a mild heart attack when a blood clot got stuck in my ventilator tubbing. I also suffered a stroke that affected my short term memory and vision. I will end this by saying that I am very fortunate to have great Doctors and Nurses. I hope that was not to long. Thank you.
