In late March 2019, high school English teacher and competitive runner Terry Kroenung rode a quick 10 miles on his bike. 10 days later he had an emergency heart transplant. Really. Imagine his surprise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis memoir recounts his experiences with near-fatal pacemaker implantations, defibrillation scorch marks, 7-hour cardiac ablations, surgical staples, and the up-and-down recovery process. Along the way are 6 pregnant nurses, Canadian axe throwers, alien face-huggers, playful chest zippers, demonic urinary catheters, and the most horrifying photo of a dead heart that even the doctors had ever seen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo keep himself -- and his shell-shocked wife, family, and friends -- from dwelling on the life-or-death enormity of it all, he kept a diary of everything that happened, no matter how trivial or absurd. His snarky, pun-strewn, geeky commentary on events, as well as more dubiously-termed 'wit' that he added after the fact (essentially playing Mystery Science Theatre with himself), make up the book that you're somehow still reading about. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe proceeds of this book will go to benefit Donor Alliance and their life-saving work increasing the supply of transplant organs.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52241861673234,"sku":"9780578576725","price":24.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/1ZvrQwnPZS9780578576725.webp?v=1777908119","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/heartsnark-a-literally-light-hearted-account-of-my-heart-transplant-or-shakespearean-strippers-bison-meatloaf-and-urinal-harems-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
