Tracking steps before and after transplant

Years prior to needing a lung transplant, Herb Wissel had been tracking his steps with a Fitbit. "I walked the dog about two miles every morning... even in winter time when it was 10 degrees outside I'd walk two or three miles. I was always active," said Herb, who is now working back up to those miles with a set of transplanted lungs.
