HW: The way you talk about it makes it sound like it was a fairly easy surgery to recover from, when it's like the exact opposite. And you sound all optimistic about the whole thing, truly admirable.
So, other than seeing your cardiologist every other year, do you lead a normal life? Like, are you allowed to work out, go jogging, than kinda stuff?

What about the other 70%? Can it last a lifetime?
Also, how hard was it to find a donor who was a match for you?

Really, like worse than the pain from the wound before it healed entirely?
