What are the financial challenges after transplant with medicare?

@willie0027 hi there. Just a note on your question as to how long the numbness lasts on your stomach. I am coming up to my 1 year anniversary and I still can't feel anything across my abdomen. The doctors told me that I may never get back any sensation in my abdomen as nerves may have been cut during surgery. I can run my fingernails across my stomach and not feel a thing. Not everyone has this but I do. It's very strange but a small price to pay after surgery.

While I’ve not yet even gotten on a transplant list, in the mid-eighties my gallbladder was removed through a huge slice across my right abdomen (perhaps similar to a transplant). I’ve had no feeling below the scar since.
