  1. Great news! Best regards with your new heart. If it seems that everything you and the people who have helped you did to keep you alive is now suddenly maladapted, then you’ve arrived. It’s a whole lot to process, isn’t it? Take good care of you and the wonderful gift of a new heart. Kudos to the transplant team— they’re a rare and highly skilled breed. And congratulations to everyone who helped you live to see the day. Mazeltov!
