Reape Arnold *Donnie\ Al- dridge, 117 Trinity Ave., has received the greatest Christmas gift a person could ask for—to be home with his family on Christ- mas. For a man who literally thought he'd never see his home again, it has been an especially heart* warming homecoming. Mr. Aldridge returned home Dec. 21 for the first time since before he under- went heart transplant surgery in New York City on Oct 5. Ironically, Mr. Al- dridge's health problems became known on Christ- mas Day, three years ago. From his living room easy chair, Mr. Aldridge re- called that day. Like many of us, Mr. Aldridge said he had over- eaten. Other than what he thought was a touch of indigestion, Mr. Aldridge said he was \feeling great\ Suddenly, a *wierd feel- ing 1 * came over him from his feet up. ^ thought I was going paralyzed,* he said. There was no pain—it was more like being para- lyzed. Then I went right to the floor. The next thing I knew, I woke up in the hospital.\ He had suffered a heart attack, along with a sHght stroke. Since the first stroke, his doctors have informed him be suffered a number of minor heart attacks, in addition to two other major heart attacks. Dr. Edward L Reason, internist at E. J. Noble Hospital, Gouverneur, said Mr. Aidndge's trouble was diagnosed as a car* diomyopathy, or 'disease of the heart\ Most com- monly caused by multiple heart attacks or high blood pressure, a cardio- myopathy reduces the heart's ability to pump blood to meet the body's need. \It gets to the point where the patient either gets a new *pump' or dies,\ Dr. Reason said. In Mr. Aldridge's case, Dr. Reason recommended a year ago that his pa* tient have a heart trans- plant operation. Mr. Aldridge said when Dr. Reason informed him he would need the opera* tion,he said \I was scared to death. I thought I was dying. But I snapped out of it I told the doctor If I don't go through with this (the operation), I'm going home. Fm not going to live the rest of my life like this (in a hospital)'.\ Mr. Aldridge was on a waiting list for a new heart for nine months before his condition war- ranted that he undergo surgery immediately. During that time, \We kept having to admit him (Mr. Aldridge) for heart failure,\ Dr. Reason said. In the last few months before the operation, he was spending more time in the hospital than at home. \The last time in the hospital his condition was remarkably worse,\ Dr. Reason recalled. 'That put him higher on the list Then it was a matter of a couple of weeks and they had a heart for him.\ Mr. Aldridge had been admitted to E. J. Noble on Sept. 8. That would be the last time he would see his home until Dec. 21. On Oct. 5, word came that a donor heart was available for Mr. Aldridge. He was flown that day by Army heli- copter to Syracuse, where a one-way airplane ticket to New York City would cost $1,400. •My mother-in-law (Ruth Reynolds) bailed me out by coming up with the $1,400,\ Mr. Aldridge said. \She saved my life.\ That evening he was admitted into Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, where he went into sur- gery. He made it through the operation, but had to go back into surgery the next day after his doctors found a tube was rubbing against and wearing a hole in his new heart, causing internal bleeding. A week later, another complication arose. Mr. Aldridge caught a viral infection, a common occur* rence among heart trans- plant patients. Unlike most transplant patients who contract the infection months after the opera- tion, Mr. Aldridge suffered the setback whole he was still weak from the ordeal. In all, he remained on the critical list for three weeks. Mr. Aldridge said he doesn't remember much about those first weeks following the operation. ^ didn't know anyone in the hospital,\ he recalled. \It was like being an invt- bd. I couldn Walk, I was so poor and weak. The doctors told me I was the worst on the list,\ Mr. Aldridge said, \but I told them I thought there were other guys who were ARNOLD ALDRIDGE returned home to Oouvemeur Wednesday after undergoing a heart trvttpterrtoptrstfconOcLS.
