Same guy, my other instance seems to be down.

I’m not sure what you mean by a new heart rhythm. Once I got a healthy heart I’ve been at a normal sinus rhythm, rather than dealing with tachycardia and a bad arrhythmia, if that’s what you mean. My rate is a bit elevated than a normal person’s because the nerves that more closely control that get cut during the transplant (if my understanding is correct).

Otherwise, I did some physical therapy for a few months and have to take anti-rejection medication for the rest of my life, but I’m better than before by far.

I mean did you feel something strange in beating of your new heart?

Nothing strange, no. More of a realization of how out of wack my old heart was before the surgery. Once I got through some of my therapy, I felt normal again for the first time in a long time and not long after i felt even better than my old normal.
