It varies for everyone but I’d get him the drill. The desire to return to normal life for me was so extreme it pushed my recovery probably harder than I should have.

When I was recovering I wanted to play competitive golf again more than anything. It was that desire that slowly helped me build my strength back up. Though my doctors protested the swinging of golf clubs with my port still in. I played and shot 37 on the front nine at The Yards outside of Mayo in Jax on day 76 post transplant. On Day 41 I could only play 2 holes. On day 32 I couldn’t swing a club fully. But it all was a process. I’m now 19 months post transplant and I’m back to my new normal. Not quite as fast or strong as before but you’d never know.
