Dana, Thank you for reaching out. Indeed I had my transplant at Mayo Phoenix about 8 months after after failed valve surgery in Tucson. I agree the forum is dominated by the liver/kidney mafia (lol). That may make sense given the number of those surgeries vs ours. I have had a few Covid-19 scares that were just viral infections but otherwise I have been very healthy. Frankly I was hesitant to join the forum as I am not particularly good with whining. It just wasn't allowed in our household growing up. I only recently joined the Wednesday zoom calls led by the heart social workers and am learning to be more patient with others. That said, no whining probably brought me to the transplant as I apparently ignored at least two major heart attacks as indicated in the pathology on the old heart.

Time will tell if I stay on either forum. But then, I have a lot of time on my hands now so...
Best always,
s!
Scott Jensen
