at the vets waiting talking to this guy he said he had, had a heart replacement. He had some other persons heart beating in his chest. Being knosey I had to ask"anything interesting other than new found health" He said yeah. 1. after a life of sleeping in, he is now an early riser who enjoys sunrises, an gardening in the morning hours. My thought was yeah appreciating every minute after nearly dying. More? yeah he felt he really wanted to wear a gold chain round his neck. Previously not even a watch or ring,,, interesting thinks me,,, then he says he met the donors family and the donor was an early bird gardener who loved a gold necklace simlar to the one he now wore he added he had breakfast and cofee just befor dawn,, b4 he had not liked cofee, donor did these brkfst-cofe everyday of his life.

I had a bi-lateral lung transplant due to Cystic Fibrosis just over 2 years ago. The only thing I know about my donor is that he or she was from Tennessee. I've written to the donor's family but have not received communication back. I can understand that but do hope to one day meet them.
I haven't noticed changes as big as those you've noted from the gentleman with the heart transplant but I don't eat or crave as many sweets as prior to my transplant (I used to consider candy one of the primary food groups), I now enjoy salads as meals (before they were a side/appetizer at best), and I've had the urge to take up jogging/running (which I otherwise have always hated). I obviously don't know if my donor had these characteristics but I think of him/her every day and often wonder what he/she was like.

I have quite a few friends who are nurses, and my son is a doctor, and I have heard about these types of occurrences before. There have also been multiple interviews on T.V. with people who have received donor organs and they will take on some of the characteristics of the donor. Some of these people have met their donors family, and the family members will notice similarities in motions and expressions. Talk about human being being interconnected more than we imagine. Interesting to think about. Maybe we should all be a bit more considerate and accepting of each other. Have a good night!

Very interesting story. It's making me think that cliches about the heart may have some validity.

I am a firm believer in stories like this one. It should make some people wake up and think about life more.

I have heard this is true several times.
That that body parts can retain memories of the deceased.
