Two years in the past, an Iowa man whom Guinness World Information had named the longest-surviving coronary heart transplant affected person died 34 years after receiving his new coronary heart.

Information like this trigger mates of Richard Gullickson, of rural Heart, to consider he may be one of many longest-surviving coronary heart transplant sufferers alive immediately.

Gullickson, who turned 83 this month, obtained his life-saving surgical procedure 29 years in the past on the College of Minnesota’s Well being Transplant Care facility — the identical supplier that cared for the Guinness file holder.

“As much as immediately, nonetheless no issues. By no means had no rejections, nothing,” stated Gullickson, who receives a well being checkup each six months at Bismarck’s Sanford Well being. “I used to be simply down this final Might and went to check all day, and all of the numbers have been proper. So I’ve been actually blessed with the way in which it’s turned out.”

Coronary heart transplant sufferers who obtain new organs earlier than the age of 55 and get them at hospitals that carry out no less than 9 coronary heart transplants yearly are “considerably extra probably” to outlive no less than 10 years after their surgical procedures, in accordance with a 2012 John Hopkins College research.

Gullickson obtained his coronary heart transplant at age 53. The retired farmer saved in contact with two different sufferers, from Chicago and Fast Metropolis, who had their surgical procedures the identical time he did. They lived till about 10 years after their operations.

“They made their 10 years and that was it,” he stated.

Gullickson started experiencing difficulties respiration 5 years earlier than his surgical procedure. His pores and skin was pale and he was fatigued.

“I had no ambition, couldn’t do a lot anymore,” he stated. “Recliner to the toilet, again to the recliner. I wouldn’t have lasted for much longer, truly.”

Up till 1990, he often visited Medcenter One Well being Methods, the previous website of Sanford Well being. He realized he had congenital coronary heart illness — a uncommon abnormality within the coronary heart that develops earlier than beginning.

“I used to be doctoring after which I obtained to some extent the place (the physician) stated, effectively, you want a transplant,” Gullickson stated.

On the time, the closest hospital performing coronary heart transplants was on the College of Minnesota in Minneapolis. He moved to an condo within the Twin Cities together with his household for the operation. He couldn’t drive and needed to go to the clinic each day for 3 months.

“It was loads tougher on my spouse than it was for me by far. She needed to do all of the operating and discover a place to reside, and he or she was working,” Gullickson stated. “My mom got here and stayed and a pair mates got here and stayed with me and so forth.”

On the College of Minnesota, Gullickson was handled by Sara Shumway, the daughter of coronary heart transplant pioneer Norman Shumway, who was the primary physician to carry out an grownup human-to-human coronary heart transplant. The center Gullickson obtained belonged to a “younger lad” who died in a automobile accident, he stated.

Medical doctors started to note the outcomes of his surgical procedure have been uncommon after the eight-hour operation.

“I might leap over the moon,” Gullickson stated. “My dentist all the time will get a kick out of that as a result of the subsequent morning I used to be sitting on the sting of my mattress brushing my enamel eight hours later.”

Rehabilitation was a “piece of cake,” Gullickson stated. When medical doctors requested him to climb three stairs, he might climb an entire story. After climbing stairs backwards, Gullickson gained the nickname, “The Miracle on Sixth Flooring.” A few dozen interns and medical doctors coaching on the college medical faculty would study him each day.

“There was a line of younger medical doctors so my therapist, she had sufficient of that,” Gullickson stated. “So after they’d come, she’d say, ‘He’s obtained to go to remedy immediately.’”

“They couldn’t consider it,” he stated.

After a couple of months, medical doctors determined he didn’t must endure rehabilitation. He returned to Heart on Thanksgiving Day.

At this time, Gullickson lives on his farm together with his son and daughter — a spot he’s lived his complete life apart from when he served within the Military and was posted in West Germany from 1956-58.

He feels he’s in good well being, however the treatment he takes to stop coronary heart rejection generally is a nuisance, he stated. The capsules usually trigger his joints to grow to be stiff and immediate the event of corns, a kind of callus manufactured from lifeless pores and skin — which a physician in Bismarck freezes off.

“I’m lucky I’ve obtained household round me so they assist me once I need assistance,” he stated.

Gullickson usually performs playing cards together with his mates on the senior citizen middle, the Golden Age Membership.

One in every of his mates, Sherry Cotton, stated she researched different dwelling coronary heart transplant sufferers.

She hasn’t discovered one who has lived with a donated coronary heart so long as Gullickson.

“There was that girl who had two transplants. And he’s solely had the one, after which there’s the opposite who’s had it for 34 years however he’s now handed, two of them at the moment are handed. That was the longest,” Cotton stated.

Gullickson isn’t certain if he’s “the oldest man on the block,” he stated. However one factor is for certain: He plans to proceed taking part in playing cards within the morning on the senior middle and luxuriate in its meals. And in the summertime, he plans to proceed bringing his tractor to exhibits together with his son, Clark.

“I’m simply going to maintain doing what I’m doing,” he stated.
