The Medical Review Board re-listed me yesterday so now I&rsquo;m active once again and can receive a heart transplant when available. The caveat being I&rsquo;m listed as a status 3 which indicates I may be going home now instead of staying indefinitely. That&rsquo;s a blessing cause who wants to be in this hospital, but it also has me in my feels as I think about this journey. If I were placed as a status 2, it would mean I can&rsquo;t leave, but I&rsquo;d be a higher priority and would likely get a heart much sooner. Now I may just be making many more visits and staying on these antibiotics to ensure the bacteria is gone or doesn&rsquo;t spread. Pseudomonas is a tricky bacteria from what I&rsquo;m told and it&rsquo;s hard to get rid of. I don&rsquo;t know man, I&rsquo;m happy and sad but I&rsquo;m good. God has been with me every step of the way and I know he will continue to protect and guide. Regardless whether I&rsquo;m released sometime soon or in here for the long run, when I see everybody I want a hug and a dap up. Cause as strong as I may seem, or whatever I project, this is the scariest shit in the world. I just happen to be built different and able to smile through it.
