Hello-I had a heart double lung transplant April 2021 at Mayo in Rochester, MN. I also had a congenital heart issue that eventually affected my lung capacity. I am happy to share my journey. Are there particular questions?
I will tell you that I am fortunate to be doing well and living life to the fullest-I work out 5+ times a week, compete on my horse, have traveled internationally since the transplant and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
I was in the hospital about 4 weeks and then had to stay in Rochester for 2 more months for frequent labs, checkups and daily respirators therapy (like PT). I have discovered that the lungs are more delicate than the heart and are more sensitive to all the external environmental items.
Please feel free to ask specific questions.
