I'm going to reintroduce myself because it's been such a long time since I've been on this site. So much has happened I'm not sure where to begin. When I stopped coming to IHD.com it was because I went in to have my left kidney removed (over a year ago now) and right after the surgery, an unknown blood clot went straight to my heart and I had a massive heart attack. It took many months to recover, and a few months after that I developed pneumonia. Since then I started pursuing a transplant. I was weeks away from the assessment when I got a phone call from the Medical University of South Carolina, telling me that I will not be getting a kidney unless I agree to a heart transplant as well. Now I am a couple of weeks away from the assessment for the heart and kidney transplant. I have great hope and some fears, but I know, thanks to all of you, I'm not alone.

OMG Carla, I'm so sorry but this site is so big anymore I don't notice when someone goes missing. I wish we had better control over that.
I'm glad you are back and best wishes to you and your transplants.
