I was second in line though. The surgeon told us that he would call us back by 2. We prayed and decided to start packing. I didn't go into surgery until 7 that evening and came out at 2 on Saturday the 16th. I have not needed any insulin since the Friday night of the surgery.
Every day is a miracle.
I have had 3 weeks of no insulin. The transplant is not for everyone. There is a down side. I take medications to prevent my new pancreas from rejecting. The medications have side effects.
