- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I received my double-lung transplant and it gave me a second chance at life. I never had any great fear because I trusted the transplant team and in G-d. I am thrilled that I can now breathe again without the aid of oxygen or inhalers.
I am going to get back in the saddle, literally (I used to ride horses) and breathe every breath with gratitude.
I was asked to sing for a Fund Raider for Research in Thoracic Surgery:
I wrote a song for it and actually performed.
