Hi I am a heart transplant patient from Phoenix and did rehab after my surgery and all was good. I went through riding a bike for 20 minutes, weight training, stretches and curls from a diagram.
Mine was good not hard and the rehab coordinators don't over push you or potential.
Hope all goes well in rehab and hope all is good.
But most importantly good bless you and your family.

Toby, I wish you the best of health, too! Thank you for your encouragement and kind concern.

Hello @coyne,

Thank you so much for introducing yourself, and sharing your insights. I was wondering if you've seen the Transplant group, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/transplants/ and the Transplant page, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/transplant/ on Connect? They are incredibly informative resources.

Toby, we look forward to getting to know you. May I ask what led to the heart transplant?

Sending good wishes to you, interested in your age and why the transplant. Aren't we fortunate to live in a time where transplants are an option? I am a recently retired ER RN who was involved in encouraging families to be donors when their horrible events happened. It was very stressful for me, for them, and must be incredibly anxiety producing to be waiting for an organ. God bless you and your family. Linda Libby RN
