Default update on my current health situation

well alot has been goig on since my last thread. the biggest thing is that today i got the call that i've been accepted into the trasplant program. so i just tell them yes and its a go. there is no one else on the list that i'm on just me which mwans hardly no wait especially now during the holiday seasons. and i'd have to be ready to leave in 5 mins once they call me. its all pretty scary. and i'm totally lost with what choice to make. its really scary to have to deal with such a big procedure like that especially that the life expectancy is about 10 years after that. its like i'm only 21 and i'll be 31 then not to mention all the meds i'd be on for life that kill my immune system and having to live in san jose for 4-6 weeks after trasplant cause i'd have to go to the hospital daily. my head has been hurting all morning since they called me. well thats all for now i'll update more thurday after i talk with the docs more in depth.

don't sweat the life expectancy ... I've had so many people around me surpass theirs, I'm fully confident you'll be fine

You're a strong dude, so this is nothing you can't handle.

Is it not working right? What kind you have and how long you had it. Sorry for all the questions, I am in pacemaker business.
