Little Rock Organ Transplant Support Group

We went to the monthly meeting of the local group today and it was quite interesting. In Sacramento and Tucson where we have attended support groups, the groups were organ specific. i.e. Sacramento was liver and Tucson was kidney with liver being recently combined with the kidney group. Here, the group is for all transplant recipients. There were 5-6 people there who have had heart transplants. One woman has had 2 heart transplants - in 2004 and again in 2007 after her body rejected the first one - and she is doing great now. Others have had liver, kidney or pancreas which we are much more familiar with. They made us feel very welcome. I don't think people in the south have never met a "stranger". They act like they have known you forever.
