sorry for butting in.
I had a heart transplant so not sure what you had replaced. Talk about tired and weak, I pretty much had to retrain my body. Walking, moving, sitting, whatever hurt. A lot. The Drs. said you went through a huge trauma to your body, both physical and mental. It takes a long time and one day you'll say, "hey I'm feeling pretty good today" Your body wants to heal give it time.

@jeff79922, Thanks for jumping in! All of us recipients have so much in common, even if we have received different organs.
After my transplant, I discovered that I needed to take a daily nap. My husband would take care of all possible interruptions and allow me to rest even if I didn't sleep. That helped a lot. These days, I don't nap as often, but I do enjoy a good nap.
Jeff, When was your heart transplant? What do you like to do on those good days that you mentioned?
