I was on the list for a SPK at Mayo in Rochester MN and also at UW Health in Madison WI. I ended up getting my call from UW Health and had my SPK on 7/28/16. Almost 3 years ago! Feeling great with no complications!💚

@jgloede9, Hi Jennifer. I want to extend my hand in a virtual handshake to welcome you to Connect. As a transplant recipient, I am excited to see that you will be celebrating your 3rd year anniversary soon. Do you have any plans to honor the special day? My husband and I have made it our practice to go out for dinner on the anniversary of my transplant. We make it special with an iced tea toast!
I have a simultaneous transplant, also. Mine is liver and kidney. I have 2 incision sites/scars. How about you - Did you have 2 incisions/scars?
