Waiting for a new heart isn't just a medical story, it's a human one. In this candid and often funny account, Frederick M. Hueston takes readers inside the unpredictable world of hospital life while waiting for a life-saving transplant.Written in short, journal-style essays, this book shares the good, the bad, and the downright absurd moments of being tethered to machines, surrounded by doctors speaking in code, and trying to hold onto normal life when nothing about it is normal. From late-night conversations with nurses to learning how to "dance" with an IV pole, Fred brings humor and heart to experiences most people never see.Part memoir, part survival story, this book is about more than medicine. It's about noticing the small things that matter, finding laughter where you least expect it, and discovering a whole new perspective on life when the clock seems to stand still.Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or just someone who loves a true story told with grit and humor, this book will stay with you long after the last page.
