 You know the signs of a heart attack but I was in Denau about three or four in the morning I woke Susan up and I said hey there's something wrong here I really need to go to the hospital that's when everything started happening you know the doctors here in town are very good the heart failure doctors and they recognized right away that that I was not going to be able to get well on my self my heart wasn't going to heal by itself they said to me you need a hard transplant and I've always been a donor all my life and the here that you need a transplant is scary and I just you know I just couldn't believe it we were playing on trying to be on as many transplants list as possible to increase my odds but after meeting with the transplant team and Dr. Feller I was so much at peace being scared and worried and concerned she just put me at ease I mean just I walked out of that appointment I just he said Susan cancel the other appointments we're staying right here the next day we're supposed to go to another hospital looking and she said I said hey cancel it we're not going anywhere else if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen here he was officially listed the middle of February and his transplant was March 14th so he was extremely fortunate to get a heart that quickly it was just an incredible gift that we can't imagine you can't imagine how grateful we are you know I could see the progress I could see the end result and I think back and I I came through a tremendous operation it is amazing and I'm gonna heal we've been very blessed and very fortunate I contributed all to the transplant team I mean they're the ones that looked at me and said you can do it check me out and said I could do it they had the original confidence and even probably before I had confidence but they're they're confidence rubbed off on me real quickly you know everybody when they grow up they have a bucket list of things they want to do and I've achieved a lot of my bucket list before the heart transplant well now with the transplant I feel my bucket is empty and I have a I feel my bucket is full of things that I need to do again and I need to get back to running to a reasonable spot I wanted to do the 5k I wanted to get that passed and say hey I can do it and I did and and that was a rewarding feeling coming across the finish line knowing that I just pushed my body number two in a bucket list is getting back to playing golf you know I don't want to be known as the person that had a heart attack or the person that had a heart transplant I just want to be the person that got past that I made the most of your life and made the most of my life afterwards and enjoyed my grandkids
