Pig Heart Transplant

Super interesting read although strangely they don’t get into why he was ineligible for a human heart. The reason they give isn’t the whole story.

Drug or alcohol abuse? Aren't they super strict on not giving addicts human organs unless they've been clean for a long time?
 
Dr. Moreau just rolled over in his grave.... and got a boner.

They are. That could be it. Maybe they are conducting experiments on old burn outs like they’re lab rats.
 
When I was in the hospital for my transplant I was in there w another guy awaiting his second one. He was the same age as me. The first transplant he had lasted about 8 years and began failing him. I forget the exact situation w the heart, but he knew it was defective to an extent when he got it. Sometimes patients are faced w tough choices of accepting a defective (but still capable) heart from someone w a serious disease, or die waiting for the next match. I guess this was him 8 years prior. Anyways, he got his heart a couple weeks before me. We rehabbed together. I wonder how he’s doing now w his third heart.

I had a shooting buddy that went through that. Finally tapped out a couple years back. Made 70, though.

Im sorry to hear about your friend. Im almost 47 and 70 seems like an impossible goal. Hell, 60 seems too far-fetched at this point. Would be nice to see all four of my children graduate. I need about 17-18 more years to accomplish that. I’m definitely going to try my best.

Just keep stringing the days together. I've had 2 heart attacks, both in my 50s. Odds were not good to make 70, but here I am.
