Reply #17: I have that book: "A Change of Heart" [View All]

It is quite fascinating. They did a TV movie based on the book but the movie focused more on the relationship between mother and daughter then on the experince the woman had with getting a heart/lung transplant.

It is very strange. I don't remember all the details because it was a few years ago but she was a classical dancer. When she was released from the hosptital after the surgery she said she had the irresistible urge to stop at McDonald's and get some Chicken McNuggets. She had never gotten them before nor was a fast food eater. They also interviewed her and asked her how she felt she stated that before she knew the words came out of her mouth she said she couldn't wait to have a nice, cold beer. She had never been a beer drinker. Her daughter also noticed that the way she walked had changed. Instead of walking gracefully like she always had, her walk was more of a strut. Her daughter told her she looked like a truck driver walking. After she found out who the donor was it turned out that he was a truck driver who liked beer and Chicken McNuggets. If this type of subject interests you I recommend you read the book. It is quite fascinating this whole subject of cellular memory.
