The following was posted to my CaringBridge journal on Dec 10, 2014:
What will it be like to have a heart and body that can keep up with my brain, that can actually execute all the ideas I have (or at least a great deal more of them)?
How will my daily routines change? What will I add and what will I subtract?
What about my adult identity is truly intrinsic to me and what are learned coping mechanisms to deal with the limitations of the heart failure? Will those coping mechanisms have to be unlearned?
Will my brain work better with better blood flow? Will I be more creative? More articulate? Better able to understand complex systems and solve problems? Less forgetful?
How will my parenting change? My marriage?
Questions lead to questions lead to questions, but all reflect and reinforce my hope for the future.
In other news, Cedars-Sinai called a few days ago in order to schedule the final in-person portions of the transplant evaluation that I need to complete to be included on their transplant candidate list.
It's set for this Friday from 7 am to 1 pm.
This is really happening....
