All right, ready for an unbelievableable. This is where if
you have an unbelievable story that no one reckons is true,
but he's one hundred percent true. And yesterday we caught
up with Vanessa Gale from Strath album good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Hello, good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh wow, we have just been blown away and then
become instantly obsessed with your phenomenal story.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So you had you were born with a congenital heart
defect open surgery is a newborn. And then when you
were seven, and then you got to your late thirties
and it basically got to crunch time where they said
you'd need a new heart.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yep, just as I got older, you know my heart, Yeah,
it was not well. My oxygen levels were very low
and I was on home oxygen for a little while.
So yeah, got to that stage where they said I
would definitely need a heart transflant.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And then every time your phone rings pardon the pun,
does the heart skip a beach?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yes, she just trob me. Not what you needed. Oh,
once that was on the list, I had to take
my phone everywhere, to the taller, in the shower, everywhere,
sleep with it on next to me, and yep, every
time it rang, I would jump. So it was such
a nerve wracking time just waiting for that call.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So now we get to the point where we're obsessed.
And this is where you say, since receiving your donated heart,
you've discovered new cravings and new passions. Just explain some
of the foods you're now wanting.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yep, things that I've never liked before. Margherita, pizzas, Clinker chocolate.
So it was like, how do you crave them? I've
never liked them. Loving grape like, ridiculously loving grapes. Since
my transplant, every day I would have grapes, puppies, assessive dogs, puppies, flowers, gardens.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
VESI people would be listening to this guy. Yeah, but
everybody loves puppies and lomb I'll put my hand up.
I do crave Clinker, I must admit. But this is
obviously to a point that is so different to your
life before.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, yes, so much like craving it like I need
it like yep. And just that I could exercise now,
you know, I'm loving being able to go for a
bike ride and walking and going to the gym and
just again, things I've never been able to do before
vacuum without getting cuffed, Like, it's just amazing that. Yeah,
(02:18):
having oxygen and circulation is incredible. Who knew? Who knew this?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So we ended up reading doctor Stuart Moody, who's the
state medical director of Donate LIFEESA, and he had a
possible reasoning why this is happening.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Interestingly, things like allergies that that's actually been shown to
be able to be passed on through donations.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So yeah, it normally settles down.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, these transition of traits, you know, are quite commonly reported.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Can you imagine being so thrilled that you get your
new heart or the new liver, whatever you needed, and then.

a farm, but this is like next level, Like I

the life that this has given you, this selfless act
has given you, is incredible and it's wonderful to think

think about it and talk about it with their families.

someone's life. It can actually save eight people's lives.
