If it hadn't been for Dr Christian Barnaard I wouldn't be here - I'm one of many lucky transplant recipients.

Thank you @JoScho for the #uniquelyyou giveaway. I'd have to say that the thing that makes me unique is the variety of invisible illnesses that I have.
⭐ Heart transplant leading to:
🍓 Type 2 Diabetes
🍓 Crohn's Disease
⭐ Panhypopituitarism (basically I don't produce enough of any of my hormones)
⭐ Hands mirror

I've had several tests but they can't find anything in my genes - I'm possibly the only person on Earth with all of these!

Trashcanman I have invisible illness too, all in my brain. I hope you feel better and have a kick ass week. 😊 7y

jenniferw88 @Trashcanman Thanks & back at you. Luckily it's all well controlled by my medicine! 7y

AmyG Wishing you only good health...always. 7y

TrishB Definitely unique ❤️ 7y

JoScho Bless your soul! Only healthy days ahead hopefully 💕 7y

Bostonmomx2 Wow. That‘s a drag. I had no idea a heart trans could lead to those things 😕 7y

CouronneDhiver Interesting ... health science is so crazy! All the best, of course. 👍 7y

jenniferw88 @Bostonmomx2 the transplant has only lead to the 2 🍓; the other stars are separate. Technically i shouldn't have the Crohn's but the drug they use to treat it is the one that's given me it! 7y

jenniferw88 @CouronneDhiver @AmyG @JoScho thank you! 7y

Kaye Wishing you many decades of health. I hope reading can sometimes take your mind away to different places so you don‘t have to think about it as often. A mental vacation. ❤️ (edited) 7y

tammysue Prayers that all stays well! 😊🤗 7y

Dragon Hugs 🤗 any one of those diagnoses would be difficult, I am so impressed with how well you are coping. Positive energy heading your way 🌈 7y

As a recipient of a heart transplant, I found this book interesting as although I am very grateful to Dr Barnard, I feel that Shumway & Lower should have been the doctors to have carried out the first operation as Dr Chris doesn't always come out favourably.

Trigger warnings for animal testing & death.
