Hi @bellini! I know Colleen, Dana and Scott have welcomed you to Connect. I'm joining them in greeting you! Please join us on Wednesday at our heart transplant support group meetings. I've been attending since I was first evaluated for heart failure, nearly five years ago. I still attend regularly because I know what a confusing and powerful journey each of us undergoes and it's great to voice our concerns, listen to others and get ideas and answers from those who have gone down this same path.

Hope to see you on Wednesday!
Ellen

Hi Ellen,

Heart failure? You too? Five years ago? Sorry! I was diagnosed a month ago and I'm all-over questions. Apologies. Please let me introduce myself. My name's Jennifer (Jen). I'm looking for a heart failure group. I am new to Connect, as well. At the hospital a month ago, all I got was this diagnosis out of a clear, blue sky, and an urgent referral to Internal Medicine there - no information. I actually met the internal med. doctor this week, and she gave me some info, so I'm a little ahead over where I've been for this last, scary month.
Is it a group anyone can join, or do you need a special referral (I don't have one)? Please excuse me jumping in on this thread if it's private. I hope this is ok? Thanks very much! Jen
