Thanks Rosemary, i had a beautiful day went to Church and was congraulated by all the great people that stood by me with there prayers and comfort during those months in the hospital and after. It can't be said enough that a great support system is crucial to a successful transplant. Of course i give double thanks to my Wife and Primary Caregiver and all the great support from the Mayo Doctors, Nurses, aides, dietary, social workers and all the behind the scenes people involved. But top of my list is God who i feel was the sole reason i got a new Heart and i thank God for people who even during there loss donate there loved ones Organs. So my 2 year check-up is the 21st and i don't expect any issues. I also always try and stop by and see some of the Nurses on duty and check-in i usually see one or two i remember.

@danab I feel the same way, there were so many people praying for me that I’m sure that must have been a huge help. It really is a miracle and a blessing to be well again.

@danab, Thank you for sharing your anniversary here on Connect. All of us transplant folks either. are or have been on long difficult journeys, and I think it if fitting and appropriate to celebrate our victories! I wish you and your wife many more celebrations. Life is good.
