…from open heart surgery
Step 1: Have Open Heart Surgery
Step 2: Wake up in ICU
Step 3: Nurse asks you to walk WAY sooner than you think you can handle. Contemplate. Let them help you. Get up and do your best.
Step 3: At the end of your first walk if your nurse says “do you want to do another lap?” – don’t think about it. Say yes. DO IT.
Keep walking, doing extra laps.
Cry.
Laps.
Tomorrow is the second biopsy, two weeks after my second heart transplant.
Today I walked.
