Congratulations on your new heart! I am heart-double lung from April 2021. I was in the hospital for about 4 weeks and then in Rochester for another 2 months. We live 4 1/2 hours away so in the beginning my visitors were only parents, husband and in-laws on a rotating basis. When I got home people knew that I couldn’t get sick, so they were all VERY respectful and careful not to be near me if they were sick in any way. Since this was also during Covid times, it was extra important.
Recovery is challenging but do all your PT, get as much sleep as your body needs and follow your med regimen and you’ll see big improvements.
Good luck!
