Yes that's the one!!! So helpful and appreciated!! The biggest joy in my life was 6 years old when I had my transplant-my grandson! He's almost 22 now, and each day he brings me more joy! I am blessed with a daughter and son-in-law who live in the same house, and they bring me joy as well. I love Bison (pre-transplant I had the honor of owning a herd), and horses. I love art that is about bison and horses, and absolutely love music. Peaceful, calming music that I learned to love while at Mayo. What brings you joy Lori?

Hi @dakotabonnie -your story is amazing and your outlook great! I am heart/double lung transplant in April 2021. I see you like horses. Do you ride? In the recovery period my goal was to be able to ride my horses again. I got back in the saddle in September 2021. I had to have help lifting the saddle because I had absolutely no strength or muscles. So it became my next goal to be able to saddle my horses myself. I hope you are able to enjoy your hobbies each and every day!
