Yes, I used the title to a Rush song. Sue me.
We found out today that I am officially listed. There are still odds and ends to attend to along the way. I'll be posting more this week, though I might be repeating myself. For new readers, go back to the beginning to read all about HCM, transplants, and the journey thus far. For old readers, thanks for listening and not getting too angry when I insult your political party/religion/dog. I try to equally offend everyone, so be assured it's nothing personal.
We're both happy and sad, but more relieved than anything.
A special note to my TTLG friends: Thanks so much for being a shoulder to cry on and all your incredible support. You guys are the best and I'm still proud to call TTLG my home on the web. Here's to another 12 years!
Closer To The Heart - Rush
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Thrilled to bits for you. Must be a bag of mixed emotions. Your courage has been inspirational and no doubt will continue to be.
ReplyDeleteWow. I remember you thinking you'd be listed in January. The past 5 months have been so full of tests and a-fib and uncertainty and questions and doctor visits . . . and now you're listed! I'm sure you must feel conflicted emotions, but you guys should be so proud of yourselves for being so brave as to uproot yourselves from all that is familiar in order to take on an entirely new lifestyle just to make sure you are near the best doctors for HCM. Glad that journey brought you near us as well. We're rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteI know you guys have been riding the roller coaster when it comes to all the issues leading up to being listed, and I'm sure there are more ups and downs to come, but we're glad things are moving forward. Thanks for sharing with us and like Stacy said, we're rooting for you.
