Good morning, @swordfish. Once again, you are in the best place for care right now. It is important for the doctor to know exactly what is going on with your situation. And sometimes that is uncomfortable. Try not to dwell on the negatives and instead try to focus on getting better. Is your doctor or nurses aware of your anxiety? Please let them know about it and about any pain you are experiencing. Hope your day gets better, and that your treatment continue to move forward. Rosemary

THANKS AGAIN<br><br>

@swordfish, have you asked your doctor about sepsis? Whatever answer you get, it's crucial to ask as soon as possible -- before septic shock sets in.

THEY FOUND BACTERIA IN THE INFECTION SITE FROM YESTRDAY, I GUESS I'M UNDER QUARETINE.THE DR. N LIVER TEAM COORDINTR R COMING TO TALK TO ME,THIS ISN'T GOOD AT ALL,WORRIED.

The important thing is to identify the type of infection so that the correct antibiotic can be administered. Do not assume that a visit from the transplant team coordinator is a bad thing; on the contrary, he/she will be the one to explain to you what is going on and what treatment might be needed. Your coordinator is there to direct you toward a successful recovery. Ask your questions. and tell your fears and concerns. If you are feeling too ill or weak, have someone else do it for you. It is your right to know what is happening.
I understand your fears. I once had sepsis. Not fun! Infection is very serious for a transplant patient. But, remember, it can be successfully treated. You deserve credit for reporting on your symptoms early! I hope this helps. Rosemary

THANKU AGAIN,I GUESS I'LL B HERE A WHILE BUT TTHE IV ANTIBIO KEEP COMING, C WHAT DR SAIS

swordfish, This is to let you know I'm thinking about you today.

Good morning, swordfish. I understand your anxiety. After all, we are only human. Just try to rest in the fact that you have the best medical team available and they will get this under control and you back on track. Sometimes there may be a few setbacks but hang in there and try to stay strong. Definitely talk to your team about your anxiety so you can get some assistance with that to help you get the much needed rest you require right now.
Keep us posted and know that we all are cheering for you!
