And what did you do? Are you someone that thrives off connection and things like that? Or are you someone that can journey along by yourself? Yep.

I do love connection and I have an incredible friend who stood by me throughout it.

She would spend time at hospital with me.

She came to the hospital for me to have my transplant.

Then when I was intubated in ICU, she would come.

I don't know how often she was there because obviously I was unconscious, but she has told the stories of her sitting by my bed, telling me jokes and holding my hand and willing me to live and which I strongly believe she did all of that.

She kept my family updated.

Is that what you do to prepare? Is there kind of a process that you do to prepare before you go?
