I'm 56 years old. I'm married with three children – one son and two daughters. A workaholic, I took on two jobs working up to 20 hours a day when I was younger. One day, while I was at work as a contractor with PUB, my heart suddenly stopped. I was fortunate that I was revived, but I had to go for a heart bypass. Sadly, my condition did not improve after the bypass and my doctors told me my only option was a heart transplant. When my wife heard about this, she was worried and did not want me to undergo such major surgery. But my health continued to worsen quite rapidly. I had to stop work because I had to go for medical check-ups twice a week. After many discussions with my wife and family, I finally agreed to the transplant. My wife was my pillar of strength throughout this time and I wouldn't have agreed to go ahead without her support. I waited for two and a half months before I got a transplant. With the transplant, I got my freedom back. I have always been an active person, and my body bounced back well enough that I soon began doing things. Progress was slow; I started out by helping with the household chores. Once I was stronger, I went out and started a steady job. Today, I work as a night security guard. I am sharing my story in the hope that it inspires other patients with heart disease, and more importantly, encourages more people to support organ donation.
