Had you gotten a new heart rhythm, by the way? Was it hard to accommodate to your new heart?
Same guy, my other instance seems to be down.
I'm not sure what you mean by a new heart rhythm. Once I got a healthy heart I've been at a normal sinus rhythm, rather than dealing with tachycardia and a bad arrhythmia, if that's what you mean. My rate is a bit elevated than a normal person's because the nerves that more closely control that get cut during the transplant (if my understanding is correct).
Otherwise, I did some physical therapy for a few months and have to take anti-rejection medication for the rest of my life, but I'm better than before by far.
I mean did you feel something strange in beating of your new heart?
Nothing strange, no. More of a realization of how out of wack my old heart was before the surgery. Once I got through some of my therapy, I felt normal again for the first time in a long time and not long after i felt even better than my old normal.
