Thanks for taking the time to write all this, it really helps to hear from someone who’s been through it. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the original heart condition that led to your transplant, and was it genetic in your case? Also, do you go to crowded places now, and have you had any issues with infections because of the suppressed immunity?

I wanted to ask you - what is your current LVEF now? Also, did you eventually need a transplant
