On-screen text

I am in rejection (scarier than it sounds). This means my body’s immune system is attacking my new heart. This happened two years ago on July 31st, which required a 5-day hospital stay for treatment. This time, my team will be more aggressive with an extensive treatment plan, but it requires a longer stay. Whatever it takes, because losing this heart is not an option. I am hopeful, and I know everything will be all right. #hearttransplant #heartfailure #heartdisease

Transcript

I am in the hospital and my body is rejecting my heart. This is why I felt so crappy over the weekend because I never felt this like fatigue before. I had a biopsy this morning and I am going through rejection, which means my antibodies are attacking the heart, they don't want it to be there. Obviously, it's a foreign object. So I have a very extensive treatment plan that is going to require me to stay in the hospital, usually three to four days, but depending on the amount of, um, treatment plan, that I have, it could last up to two weeks, which may be for me. And this is my second time experiencing rejection, but we have a solid proof plan that I am okay with and I feel better about. I feel better about it.
