The Cambridge woman can finally make plans for her life after getting a life-saving heart transplant about a year ago. No longer does she worry every day about what tomorrow will bring.
“I was literally living in survival mode for so long,” said Clegg, 28.
“This is the beginning of a new journey.”
A battery powered device was implanted a year earlier to keep Clegg alive while she waited for a new heart. Hers was rapidly failing and too weak to pump blood around her body, making Clegg gravely ill.
“That was my life-and-death time,” Clegg said.
While the implanted device helped her feel well again while it took over for her heart, it was only a temporary solution.
