Hi!

I’m Monica, but you can call me Mo, most people do. Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I started this journal as a way to bring my friends, family, and strangers on the internet along as I navigate through the complicated world of congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure and the road heart transplant. Here you will find posts about my victories and struggles within the medical complex, as well as with my own mental health (I have what I like to call alphabet soup, AuDHD, OCD, and CPTSD). There is nothing extraordinary about me, however, my circumstances have not always been the most run of the mill. I am just trying to take the days as they come, and make it through whatever life throws at me. It just so happens that sometimes life throws me things like heart transplant testing, and all kinds of personal growth opportunities. 

I am glad you’re here friends and internet strangers. I always say that it is a whole lot easier to fight when you know who is in your corner. I am so lucky to have so many amazing people in my corner.
