Moyo wangu ulikuwa umezorota hadi sikuweza tena kuondoka hospitalini. Chaguo langu pekee lilikuwa kupandikiza moyo. Ugonjwa wa kurithi wa moyo ambao ulikuwa umemchukua mama yangu katika umri wangu wa sasa ulikuwa ukinikaribia. Nilikuwa kwenye orodha ya kungoja kupandikizwa kwa miezi saba kabla ya kuwa mgonjwa sana na siwezi kuendelea kuwa mgonjwa wa nje, kwa hiyo nilikuwa nimejitayarisha kiakili na kihisia-moyo kwa ajili ya upasuaji huo. Kungoja hakukuwa na mafadhaiko kama wengi wangefikiria.

Kufikia saa 2:00 usiku nilikuwa kwenye upasuaji, na siku chache zilizofuata katika Chumba cha Wagonjwa Mahututi kulikuwa na ukungu. Nilipoanza kupata nafuu kutokana na upandikizaji wa moyo wangu, nilianza kuhisi furaha ya kuwa hai. Nilimwambia daktari wangu wa upasuaji, ”Ikiwa nitakufa kwa chochote sasa, itakuwa kutokana na hisia kubwa ya furaha ambayo ninahisi. Ninahisi moyo wangu utapasuka! ” Wakati huu na kila siku baadaye, mawazo yangu mara nyingi yalielekea kwa wafadhili wangu. Nilifikiri lazima alikuwa mtu mwenye upendo na mwenye kutoa sana, mtu ambaye angetaka kumhifadhi mwingine <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
