I agree totally. I exercise every day using crunches, stretching, resistance bands, an elliptical trainer, and extensive walking. I am convinced that exercise pre-transplant helped me go into surgery with as much health as possible under a failing heart and exercise post-transplant has been a major part in my recovery. And I had to tell the new heart that there was a new sheriff in town. LOL As for pain, I will quote Mr. Spock of Star Trek: Pain is a thing of the mind.
Best always,
s!
