- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- i have a descending aortic dissection Type B which was diagnosed in 2003. a few weeks after that diagnosis, my left coronary artery dissected causing a heart attack. i was on a bi-V ICD until 2006 when i spontaneously dissected AGAIN in my right coronary artery. i got my 1E exemption transplant in October 2006 and received my heart a month and half later. the dissection is sort of like what happened to John Ritter but i was lucky to have experience doctors who knew what NOT to do. i have more details listed in the link below. ;-)

Thanks for the invite. This is pretty cool. And I got some interesting info from transplantbuddies about bloating. I am not alone in feeling like I swallowed a watermelon.
See ya soon.
