That's great Joe!!! I understand, for reasons that escape me, that joint Kidney/Pancreas transplant waitling times are way less than just kidney transplant wait times (on average) so maybe you will join the lucky list of IHD transplantees before too long!! fingers crossed mate!

That is good news. Time would have seemed to fly by for waiting when you do get your k/p transplant.Hope your experience goes as well as mine with the new kidney and pancreas. No more shots or insulin pump to worry about.
