Heart transplant recovery: What to expect?

Posted by dennisprater @dennisprater, Nov 25, 2019

In my 20th month of recovery of heart transplant. Big loss of muscle strength. Almost strong just before transplant but not few years before transplant. Is this time normal?

Good Morning.
As a transplant recipient, (liver and kidney), I know how much of an uphill journey we all face. It is never easy, and it is frightening and frustrating for us and for our caregivers. On Connect, no one has to be alone - beause of members like you - who share experiences and support others. Here is a newsfeed article that I would like to share with you. It is a heartwarming homecoming story about a remarkable patient who underwent both a heart and a kidney transplant.

It is my most sincere desire that you will find inspiration in this article.

Thanks for your realistic info. I am hopefully getting my kidney transplant soon when my live donor completes her physical.

@tucsonguy, I recently saw your name in a reply. Maybe it is a convenient time for me to ask you how you are getting along? Have you heard anything about a possible kidney transplant?
