Ya gotta have heart

Now here's something you and I probably aren't ever going to have an opportunity to do: play catch with your own heart. Yikes....

12-year-old Shane Bowman plays with his old heart in Edmonton, Canada on Friday, July 11, 2003. Bowman had a heart transplant and got a chance to see his old heart to have some closure on his illness. Bowman had dialated cardiomyopathy, a condition caused by a virus, and his heart was enlarged to about 555 grams. A normal heart is about 200 grams.

Now this will put a few things into perspective, eh??
