Hi Rosemary,
I am doing good I just graduated from physical therapy on Wednesday of this week and am working on getting rid of the cane that I use slow process but getting better and stronger every day next month I go to Rochester MN for my 9 year post transplant check-up and right heart cath and angiogram which I only have those every 2 years now and I am hoping to be able to do some traveling this coming summer to visit family I have been pretty well other then one time this year when I had to have antibiotics for a little over a month it took me having to go to Rochester MN in October to get me the right antibiotics to help me get better I had a severe UTI so when the other 2 antibiotics didn't work my team told me to come see them and the infectious disease doctor so glad I did as they diagnosed it and gave me the antibiotic to get rid of it I work out at the YMCA twice a week and walk as much as possible to keep going strength from the accident but it is and will still be a slow process of getting stronger again I would like to wish you a merry Christmas and happy New year

@glinda, Congratulations on your graduation! This is a big achievement for you and I know that you must be happy beyond words! I bet your medical team is right next to you and cheering. Do you plan to go cane 'free" completely? That frightens me, especially since you are thinking about traveling.

Happy Christmas to you, too. Your New Year sounds like it is going to be a good one - 9 Years with your "new" heart is pretty exciting!

Glinda, How many days does a heart annual check-up last? Do you need to be hospitalized? Do you stay at Gift of Life?
Have you met @2011panc? She is also celebrating her 9th transplant anniversary next month!
