    Tomorrow I will have a pump installed. My heart simply has very little left

    I'm overwhelmed yet excited because this gets me an opportunity to have a few years of quality life and not the one I've had the past couple.

    Thank you all for the support and Goodwill giving me on this board. I'll try to keep you updated best I can. If anything I have a little bit of a legacy thanks to my die hard on a deadline which may be the best piece of journalism I ever did LOL.

    God bless.

    Best of luck, Dan. I hope it all goes smoothly and helps you regain some of what you've been missing. I'm sure I am just the first of many here who will be keeping you in our thoughts tomorrow.

    By pump do you mean a pacemaker or a whole new non-pig heart?

    Either way, good luck and get well soon.

    I hope you can come back stronger again.
    You've done a great job so far, so keep it going! :)

    And, one more thought:

    For a guy with a bad heart, Dan, you've shown
    nothing but great heart all the way. I know it's tough,
    but we admire you for your strength and courage here.
