My last mobile blog from Tampa General Hospital. I will keep you updated through the first year.

Transplant plus 18 days. It seems like a wonder to me now. The last tube is out.
I am free of all stents, pumps, infusers, defibrillator and drain. Other than dental and the wires in my breastbone - I am free of metal and stuff for the first time since September, 2007!
I am "natural" again.
The new life launches! My thanks and my prayers for the loved ones of my donor - his heart is filled with his love for you! May this be a comfort to you in your grief - my prayer is that joy will one day return to you.
Thank you for your love, prayers and support. Thank everyone involved over the years. Thank my pastors and church. Thank my family Thank my wife, Vickie. Thank my God.
Vickie and I will have many things to deal with in this critical first year. I have to encounter the virus that the donor had that's being suppressed.
There may be other, serious battles ahead, but today, today -
today is a day of great joy!
My first grandchild, Alejandro, will be born this week.
Truly, how much can one man be blessed?
