Scott, your attitude is awesome. Glad your parents voices kicked in. Glad wife’s attitude helped. Glad Led Zeppelin helped. Glad you got the transplant. Wow. Do you know what caused your heart issues or what the issues were while seeming healthy?

@feelingthankful Thank you for the vote of confidence. It was one year ago today that I got the call to come to Phoenix for the new heart. We still have no idea what caused my heart failure. The pathology on the old heart indicated that there was nothing inherent or present to create the same failure conditions for the new heart so that is good news. It certainly was not genetic. Dad died of Parkinson's at 89 and Mom died of liver cancer at 88. Most tests had a medical note at the end of the documentation: NOS. I thought it meant no observable source but it actually means not otherwise specified. In any case we still don't know why it happened. Still hear my Dad every morning when it comes time to exercise. "So you had a heart transplant. You want a medal? Get in the gym and work up a sweat." LOL
Best always,
s!
