Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I was actually in the hospital for a total of 25 days, but I had hernia surgery first and they had to get me healthy as could be for that first. My transplant surgery was on Jan. 5th. Penny > > > Hi Everybody! > > > > > > I came home from the hospital on Wednesday, January 16, and I am > > > feeling better and stronger every day.
