@contentandwell ues i heard the same about type o for hearts also. Im type A which might have helped. I see you are from New England i was born in Worcester and lived in Upton, Uxbridge and then moved to RI when i was 10. Graduated In Bristol Ri before joining the AF thats how i discovered Arizona. But for Hearts Mayo in Phoenix is the goto place it seems. Ive met people from all over the country.

@danab, I'd like to add my welcome to the Transplants group. I'm confident that along with @glinda the other heart transplant recipients, like @vacamrc @mlee1969 @bsox1901 @amynewheart and @eileenheart, will be glad to have you in the group. Your experience will also be helpful for family caregivers supporting heart recipients like @fatherscaregiver @lupedelarosa12 @incrediblemulk98 and @linda59.
Nature and hiking is something that connects many of the members of the group here. I'd be interested in hearing more about your recovery and getting back to a physical fitness to hike and golf again. How did you learn to trust your new heart? What precautions do you have to take with physical activity? Do you have to worry about altitude?

@danab I am from a Boston suburb but live in southern NH now, outside of Manchester. I feel so fortunate to have the top hospitals in Boston within reach. I basically go there for everything now except for my PCP.
Aren't there big spiders in AZ? :-{
@glinda It's great to hear you are doing so well. I love success stories. I know a woman who had a heart transplant when she was about 20 and she's in her 50s now and still doing great, a mother of 2 or 3 children and healthy. Such miracles.
