I am 72 years old, a former self-employed international communications consultant from Minneapolis, Minnesota now retired and living in Jacksonville Florida where I got a heart transplant in august of 2007 at the Mayo Clinic here. I had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy 12 years earlier. My new heart came from a 30 year old donor after only 13 days on the waiting list. Currently I suffer from COPD. My wife is a jewelry artist and we travel to many art shows in our RV to sell her creations. Despite my COPD limitations I try to help her when I can...she is everything to me.
