After eight long months of waiting, Martin received her new heart two weeks ago, and she is thrilled about going home. NewsChannel5 first spoke with Martin on Valentine's Day, still attached to a heart monitor and trying to stay hopeful. It's a definite journey with no promises. Nobody guarantees you anything. Not everybody makes it.
Some people die.
After coming so close to death, Martin savors every moment, whether it's a cup of coffee or relaxing music. Martin has special plans on Friday, WEWS reports. But she said that the real highlight was when Cleveland Clinic doctors saved her life. I'm so proud of myself. May. She has all kind of activities, including skiing, planned.
