Why Thank You! I think that I built it up so much leading into it, it just seemed easier than I was expecting.
I remember the time before last when I was about 6, I was in hospital for close to a month, so to get out in 6 or so days was fantastic, particularly when it was a bigger procedure! It just shows how far the technology/methods used have come.

Yep, I can do all of those things, pretty much. I'm not allowed to do Heavy weight lifting which is the only thing that I can think of. I can do all the cardio and exercise that I want really apart from that

Also, how hard was it to find a donor who was a match for you?

I couldn't tell you the answer to both of these tbh, I just remember my cardiologist mentioning this to me.

Most certainly! I'm not saying that the wound wasn't painful, it's just everytime I coughed it felt like the zipper was going to burst open.
