Santa did bring couple nifty pull overs and my iconic plaid shirts. And new ear pads for my headphones...they're like new now.
And I got to see lots of smiles on Tammy's face. And on my son as well. And that was awesome. My mom even moved out of the stone age and got a decent flat screen TV.
So it was a good day. No heart...but still a good day.
And I'm definitely ok with that. Just as I was when Thanksgiving 2014 came and went a month or so ago. Same with my birthday 2014.

There are other things to celebrate.
A friend of mine got her new heart first part of December, and got out on Christmas day. That is awesome for her.
Another friend got an LVAD put in a few days before Christmas, she's still in the hospital, Plus she got placed on this list just a couple weeks ago. But her LVAD operation went well.
Found out my nephew's father-in-law is waiting on this list too.
I root for each of them, and all the others, who are waiting, like me. And doubly so for the handful I know personally that have gotten their new heart. Seeing how great they feel now does a lot to keep me going.
I know it's just a matter of time...
As I have gotten to know others stories I know for some, the wait has been quite long. 800 and some days for one lady, 500 for another guy. Some more...some less. It is what it is.
So I think I at 120 days or there bouts. I'm just getting warmed up. Heck pregnancy is 9 months long...
Just happy my heart, body, and mind are still strong enough to keep me here at home, and not in the hospital as I wait.
I wouldn't mind getting a New Year's Day heart though...
Have a great day everyone!
