Chuck Newman had his first heart transplant done by Dr. Lyle Joyce in 1988.
Against the odds, a donor heart had become available at almost the last minute.
To say horses were important to Chuck would be an understatement. He was a 10-day-old infant when his family held him on a horse for the first time and took his photo.Ten days after the 1988 surgery, Chuck was roping stationary calves, an hour in the morning and an hour at night. Four weeks after surgery, he began riding horses again.In October of that year, about five months after receiving his new heart, Chuck and his partner captured the world championship in team roping.
“I’ve got friends whose fathers feel like the kid never measures up,” Lyle said. “And to the kid, the father’s old school, he’s outdated.” Chuck said the last thing he remembers Lyle telling him before the surgery was that they would do the best they could.
