1 Year Since Heart Problems
WOW, can you believe today is the one year anniversary of me going to CPMC and starting my ordeal and scare of potentially getting a heart transplant. Just can’t believe it has been one year already. Don’t get me wrong I am happy to put distance between me and that situation. I see my heart doctor today ironically one year from when I first met him. I am over 140 pounds down and have an ejection fraction of 44%. That is amazing considering a year ago I was 359 pounds and ejection fraction of 10% looking at a heart transplantNeedless to say today is a good day because I don’t have a scar from my chin to my belly with a new heart.

About Jeff
Up until 2005 I was a normal hard working father of 4 happily married. Then May 3, 2005 I had major heart issues which put me in the hospital for five weeks being worked up for a heart transplant. I was then fortunate to get out and have weight loss surgery and over 180 pounds later I do not need a heart transplant. I am still working hard married to a beautiful wife Tammy and have three children in the home and one gown up and on her own.
Blogging started as a way to keep a journal of my medical issues and then in 2007 I took Fam5 public and actively promoting the blog. I know post about 'stuff that matters' and have the almost famous 'freaky friday link love'. Hope you enjoy the blog and look forward to your comments.
Thank you
