Wow...sounds very good. One month since transplant and you are back on the Boards. How long were you on the transplant list? EF of 65 already is a NICE improvement. I can't believe you're not in any pain. Feel free to share the details of your transplant and all the good, bad and ugly.

Congrats on your new heart. My husband had a heart transplant Feb 4, 2008 (super bowl sunday) at Vanderbilt. His heart is doing great. He has only had one mild rejection and that was early on due to the doctors trying to back off the prednisone too early. Now he is off the prednisone totally. He is on Prograff and Myfortic for his rejection drugs. If interested I can share another website with you that is for transplant recipiants. Just send me a message and I will send you the address. Take care of that new heart. It is a precious gift of life......Mary

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.
