Hi Ashley and welcome! I'm sorry you had to have a transplant, but it's so great to hear that you're doing well and that you found it to be not as scary as you had been told! I just wanted to say that I think you'll be an AWESOME resource for some of our younger members who might be facing transplant. We also have a young woman who is 18 and has had both a double-lung and kidney transplant, so it might be fun for you two to connect.
Thanks for posting!
