I was listed on the UNOS heart transplant list on August 12, 2004. I was transplanted on October 23,2004. That day changed my entire life forever. That was the day when I came face to face with death. I didn't know how close, but I did come VERY close. It was also the day that a 23 year old female named Laura died from being in a tragic car accident. It has been two years since my transplant and her death. Her heart came from Michigan. She came from Romania. I was given a heart from Laura a 23 year old young Romanian woman working in Michigan as a nanny. My surgeon is my hero. Dr. Chuck Huddleston. I freaking love his guts!! He is the best on the planet and he saved my stinky butt, so I mean I think he's the best!! LOL. I am a fun loving person, yet beyond serious. I love to laugh, but know when to keep my mouth shut and be serious. I am brilliant. I know more than I look like I would!! I love anything that has to do with psychology and cardiology!! I hope to use my gift from Laura and become a psychologist and work in St. Louis, Missouri where I had my own heart transplant. It takes a special person to go through any type of transplant!! Anyone willing to add me as a friend who is waiting or had any type or has a CHD or is living with a disease that will someday require a potential organ transplant.
I love hearts. Like the shape, not the real thing!! Although, the heart is probably the COOLEST ORGAN IN THE BODY!! I love really pretty boys with AMAZING big blue eyes!! I love my friends they are pretty much AMAZING EVER!
Cree is my very favorite of my transplant friends!! My little transplant sister I guess you can call her!! Myka is the BEST EVER!!
I have two younger sisters. That scares a lot of people because I come off as an only child!! But whatever.
I have an infectious personality, everyone seems to be either really happy with me or just hate me for who I am. To all "those" people out there remember I am better than you will EVER be!!
I tell it like it is; which gets me into trouble sometimes! But I would rather educate and learn from something someone has said to me than to lie bold face to you and not even care!!!
This is my organ donation page. It is donated in loving memory to Adrianna Denise Anderson. She will be loved and missed. 19 people in the US die waiting on an organ transplant every day. She was one of the 19 who died on October 3, 2006. I miss her so much! Life is not the same without her. But she got the ultimate healing by God, instead of just a second chance. I'm glad for that. R♥I♥P♥ Adrianna & Laura ♥
