Wow! What a month! I posted some time ago I was stepping back from the templates I tried to do for ProBoards and a lot of RPGs to focus on an image host and to focus on my own health as I became terminally ill. A few weeks ago I got a fateful call from Cedars-Sinai. I received a heart transplant. I'll be around to haunt you all for a long time now  |

Congrats on the new heart! Wow, that's amazing. Glad you're around here still. Thank you! They found the organ way faster then expected! Still in the hospital but good god! I'm so excited. The recovery is hard though but I got this! |

That is wonderful news, leif. All the very best to you.  One of my friends also had a heart transplant at Cedars-Sinai a few years back and is now doing really well. It's an amazing and top-notch facility for cardiac transplants, so you're in good hands. |

I received a heart transplant. Shut the f...ront door. That's great news! Of course you'll have plenty of challenges ahead ... recovery process, possibility of post-op complications, anti-rejection drugs, finding a way to pay for things not covered by insurance, etc. But a fighting chance beats a losing battle any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Someone died, making this heart available. So lets contemplate the loss they and their family suffered. And be grateful they made the choice to turn their death into a gift which will extend your life (and possibly others if their other organs were transplanted). ❤️ |

So true. |

I'm so happy for you and for the individual who decided donation was the right way to go in the face of untimely death. I'm sure he/she is smiling widely about now just to know the decision made has saved the life of someone deserving. Recovery is difficult but it's clear sailing from there! |

Good luck with your ongoing recovery. ❤️I hope you're able to get out of the hospital soon.

Thanks everyone. I am truly humbled over all of it. All I know is the heart came from a person one year younger then I am and they unfortunately passed from a fentanyl overdose.  As they were a donor and brain dead their heart was a perfect match for me. I'm still in the hospital and am recovering strongly. It's surreal to know I went from being so sick that life was ending to now having many years. |
