I am 42 and have had a heart transplant. This blog chronicles my journey before, when I had a Heartmate II LVAD for 40 months, and after my transplant. My transplant took place at Cedars Sinai in Hollywood, CA on July 4, 2014.

Three weeks later
Day 23 and all is well. I have had 3 biopsies so far and all have been ZERO rejection, or 0R. In addition my Ejection Fraction is 70. My doctors have told me I got a Porsche for a heart. My cardiac output is 7.1, a normal healthy heart is 5.5. I have been feeling better each day and am walking 2 miles on the treadmill 3-4 times per week. The next couple of weeks are going to be intense with biopsies, an angiogram, and clinic visits. I hope to get my ICD and pump back. If all goes well I will be home by Labor Day weekend. Woot Woot!
