ICYMI: Jeff Johnson is just shy of 60 days removed from undergoing a historic kidney transplant at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital.

"It went relatively smoothly, I think I took one-half of a pain pill when I was in the hospital, and I have not taken one since I left the hospital, so I'm happy," Johnson said.

For the first time in a four-state region, robotics were used to execute the transplant.
