Hello all it’s Big Mick
Just letting everyone know I have been transplanted a healthy new heart on Aug 20th
Had lots of complications
Chest was reopened 3 times in my 5 week stay in Intensive care unit
Once for the transplant
Once for severe internal bleeding
And once for a giant blood clot the size of a small rockmelon
Needed to get defibrillated again and I was conscience again Ouch
Had a drain put in for about 2 weeks
Then had severe fluid build up in my lung and heart sacs so into theatre again to put two more drains as well as the sacs having a window cut out to move fluid freely between the two sacs
I couldn’t eat got down to 79.8 kilos
I look like I’m from a Jewish concentration camp
Home a couple weeks now and only now am I starting to feel better
Getting there day by day
It has certainly been a very hard journey for us both
Fingers crossed I continue moving forward with recovery with no more set back
Sternum still not healed properly yet which is causing lots of discomfort
Otter than all that the heart it self seems to be working perfectly with no issues with the heart itself
HAPPY WHEELIN’

Sorry to hear of all your complications but very happy and relieved to see you are still with us and fighting to heal, Mego!
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
