His old heart was as black as coal, and three sizes too small, right?
And I DON'T wish him well.

"Although the former vice-president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift," Mr Cheney's spokeswoman said in a statement.
She also revealed that Mr Cheney had been waiting for a transplant for more than 20 months.

You'd expect headline writers at major news outlets to know the difference between transplant and implant.
transplant is the means of replacing something that is already not working, usually used with human organ,a man usually will go for a organ transplat and not an organt implant.an implant is the means of placing something foreign inside something else,,,implantation of sperm......
Used as a medical term, a transplant refers to the transfer of an organ from one body to another, or from a certain section of the patient's own body to another area. This procedure is usually performed in order to replace a damaged or missing organ. In particular, interesting developments are being made in the field of regenerative medicine, which is a discipline that makes it possible for scientists to recreate organs from the patient's own cells. As for an implant, it is a term used to refer to the manufacture of certain body parts that may be used to replace missing or damaged limbs or organs. Most medical implants are man-made, and materials such as titanium, silicone or apatite are regularly used.

Politics aside, this never should have happened.
He's simply too freaking old.
My uncle lasted nearly 20 years with his heart transplant.
Cheney's advanced age and prior health issues mean he'll get more on the order of 20 months.
A younger person could have made far better use of such a scarce medical resource.

I poked around last night looking for stats, and found nothing to suggest that he doesn't stand a good chance of getting at least 5 or 10 years out of it. Where did the 20 month figure come from?

But we can all hope that sooner than later medicine will have advanced for someone and anyone in a similar situation will be served.
Well said billb.
Grateful we have a very dysfunctional medical care allocation/delivery system. It is seriously broken.
Your family situation and loss clearly defines part of that problem. I think many of us here were also devastated by your loss. Hopefully in time we will see changes and improvements.
Your blessing is the time that you had . . .

The patient’s history and prognosis were grim: four heart attacks, quadruple bypass surgery, angioplasty, an implanted defibrillator and now an emergency procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat.
For millions of Americans, this might be a death sentence. For the vice president, it was just another medical treatment. And it cost him very little.
Unlike the average American, the president, vice president and members of Congress all enjoy government-financed health care with few restrictions or prohibitive fees.
