@glinda Yes! Yes! I do remember you, and I have been wondering how you are getting along with your beautiful heart transplant and you accident recovery. I was at Mayo Rochester when I saw your post, and wanted to wait until I returned home and had access to my computer. I had an absolutely perfect 13th year annual evaluation by both the liver team and the kidney team!!! I'm jumping for joy , and if you can believe this: When I mentioned to my care team that my husband and I were taking a 'detour' on the way home to Door County WI for some cherry pie and ice cream, she told me that my numbers were so good, that I could go ahead and splurge on the pie and ice cream - so I was happy to follow "doctor's orders". 😁

Glinda, Congratulations on your double anniversary celebrations. I agree with your transplant team that you deserve the poster child recognition. Your story has been an inspirational one and I feel honored to have been with you for parts of it.

I want to invite you to take a look at this discussion where other heart transplant members have gathered and you can catch up on what's happening with heart transplant members on Connect. If you click on the link, you can drop in and say "Hi". Your experience as a successful recipient would be most appreciated.

Glinda, I sure hope you don't have shingles. What kind of summer plans do you have?
