Heart transplant recovery: What to expect?

In this 6/1 I we’ll be 25 years out, I had my transplant in Salt Lake City in the now closed LDS hospital. I lost a lot of strength coming out of transplant because of prednisone it’s hard on the leg muscles, I don’t think I ever got all my strength back but i’m 63 now so remember your also aging now and that isn’t easy on anybody. If I can just say you got your life back enjoy it with your loved ones and make the best of it God bless you on your journey and enjoy your life, make the most of it
With love and best wish’s RK Clayton

@chugly11, I think that you have found a terrific 'new' normal! I want say how much I enjoyed hearing about your celebratory cruise after your heart transplant and recovery. However, I especially like the birthday celebration with your granddaughter. I also have a granddaughter. She recently turned 7, and is an added bonus since my transplant. (liver/kidney 2009) I'm happy to hear how you are enjoying your life.
What did you do when your hospital closed?
And what kind of routine tests do you have to undergo now that you will be 25 years out? Are they the same or different from other years? (From my kidney perspective, I had my last protocol kidney biopsy at my 10 year eval, so I am just wondering)
