@gaylea1 I think all of us who are post transplant, no matter the organ, feel a connection with each other. We are all so happy to be alive and to be living in a time when this is possible. I owe my life to the wonderful physicians and the wonderful care I had at Mass General Hospital. My surgery was 7.5 hours long and there were three transplant surgeons in there! I presume only my primary surgeon was there for the whole time.
My surgeon was great. I was admitted in mid-afternoon and he came in to introduce himself and tell us that the surgery would take place after midnight. My husband asked him what he was going to do now for some reason. He told him that he was going home to get some sleep! Good answer. 😊
