          By following the advice from the transplant doctors and other medical staff I have been able to

        have a normal lifestyle and been able to travel to Europe for holidays with my partner.

        Transplant operation

        In August 2001 I spent a week in the Austrian Tyrol with my partner where we went walking in the

         beautiful mountains.
