My dbl lung transplant was 1.5 years ago. Surgery itself was a train wreck followed by 5.5 months hospitalization. Partial paralysis, severe neuropathy, gastric issues, blurry vision, weakness, continued oxygen supplementation, diminished hearing, loss of balance and incontinence are still with me to this day. Along with illness requiring rehospitalization 3 months later from CMV positive donor followed by a bout with covid are my life now.
Not a very good outcome for me, but I am one of the few exceptions. Many days it gets me down but then I rally to continue the fight towards being able to walk again, gain full use of my limbs, getting off oxygen supplementation and full body shaking to stop.
I will not give in.
