According to Einstein, the Sao Paulo State Organ Transplant Center called the hospital at dawn on the same day of surgery to inform him of the new heart. After assessing the compatibility of the organ, the surgery was performed and lasted about 2 hours and 30 minutes. According to the São Paulo State Transplant Center, during the same dawn, the system identified 12 patients who met the transplant requirements. However, Faustau ranked second among the priority cases.
“You can ask what you want. I feel good. As for me, I’m leaving tomorrow, I’m amazed at my recovery. I have nothing to complain about. I just feel a slight pain in my back, it’s annoying.” Details compared to everything that happened,” he said yesterday in an interview with the newspaper.
A very enthusiastic, exclusivist Faustau recounted the feeling of having a new heart. “I feel my heart beating faster, it’s such a unique feeling. They had to remove so much debris from inside of me, and put in a new heart, a 35-year-old boy’s heart. It’s something that makes me feel so alive.”
When asked what his first thought was after waking up from surgery, Fausto often praises the work of doctors, making an appeal. “My first thought was: I need to stimulate organ donation. Brazil should be the first place in the world. There should be more projects. We need to do something to improve this, and think about the following projects. We need to use faith in donation.” If I didn’t have faith, I wouldn’t be alive.
Yesterday I felt like I was having a normal day in my life. I sat, walked, talked. It’s ridiculous to be able to do all that. I just want to thank my doctors and SUS. All this also thanks to SUS. Not because I have money, I’m fine. Everything I did was also done at SUS, and that should be appreciated. It is important for everyone to know this, and that will be my task now.
