I am getting ready to start my journey for caring for my husband who is on the heart transplant list at Mayo Florida campus. We are both scared for what the future will bring into our lives in the next year. He is 73 and we are or were very active until the COVID outbreak. It would be nice to know someone who is getting close to the one year Transplant anniversary and talk about what to expect. He is millirone and would like to know if your husband was on this waiting for his transplant.

@jstoll1247 Hi I received a heart transplant a couple of years ago. I see your Husband is on the list to receive a Heart. I would like to offer my help if you may have a questions about the process.
How are things going? Has your Husband received his Heart yet?
Have a Blessed Day
