It felt like his lungs are not big enough for his body and that he got winded quickly.  He was strong and could do manual labor, even after the liver transplant, but that he has noticed the last couple of years that the cold felt like it's freezing his skeleton. He has had pneumonia 3 times altogether. He was unable to specify dates but he knew that he had it post-transplant in 2013.

He was a liver transplant patient and that the hospital where he received the transplant likes to keep things in house. After the hernia surgery he couldn't drive or sit down because it was uncomfortable and that the jostling of the car was too much. Patient reported that he would see his physician who recently retired once a month for a prescription for pain meds that he needs for back issues, psoriatic arthritis, and scar tissue from being operated on 4 times.
