What happens after the first six months?
Most people think the hard part is over. You survived the surgery. You made it through recovery. You're back to normal.
Not quite.
My Heart Journey: One Year In... and the Beat Goes On picks up where My Heart Journey: Six Months and Still Ticking left off. This isn't a medical manual or a polished success story. It's real life, one year after a heart transplant, told the way it actually feels.
Through a series of honest, often funny essays, Frederick M. Hueston shares what daily life really looks like after transplant. The routines, the side effects no one warns you about, the strange little changes, and the moments that make you stop and realize just how much has changed.
Some days are good. Some are frustrating. Some are downright strange. And some will make you laugh when you probably shouldn't.
If you've gone through a transplant, are waiting for one, caring for someone who has, or just want to understand what this kind of second chance really looks like, this book pulls back the curtain.
No sugarcoating. No medical jargon. Just one man, one year in, figuring it out as he goes.
And yes... the beat goes on.
