Dick Cheney heart transplant successful, he is recovering. Cheney received a heart transplant yesterday. The former Vice President is now recovering in the intensive care unit at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia. According to a statement released by Cheney’s office, the donor is anonymous.

It reads, “Although the former Vice President and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will forever be grateful for this lifesaving gift.” Cheney, who is 71, had been on the transplant list for 20 months. He has had a long history of poor coronary health, including a fifth heart attack in 2010.We wish him a quick recovery, and it’s great to see an anonymous person giving life to someone they don’t even know.
