That alone is insane, incredible. Hardly measures up to the ideal of leaving the hospital, good as new, but putting that aside: 18 days on a transplant, trans-species organ? I'm in awe!

18 days is how long the first human-to-human heart transplant recipient lived post-op. The more recent first pig heart recipient made it two months.
