I believe this is the first time I've ever started a BS thread but this is pretty neat and I am celebrating and I want to celebrate with my friends. My present heart and I first met exactly 10 years ago today! It was an arranged marriage, we met for the first time on our wedding day.... it was a good match (to quote the doctors, a "textbook match") and we have gotten along extremely well.

At the time, 10 years was considered a very successful run for a heart transplant. By now they have lots more understanding and new techniques and things are looking up all the time. I feel more than lucky.
