Transplant Evaluation - What to expect
Transplants | Last Active: Nov 28, 2020 | Replies (306)Comment receiving replies
I am wondering about the best course of action to take after transplant surgery. I have 2 options. Stay at home myself with my husband home after work or constant care from my daughter and live with her. Both locations are very near to the hospital. I just don't know how much care I will need post transplant for a few weeks.

@amyintucson it sounds like you got a very clear cut direction about requirements for caregiving after your transplant. @gaylea1 you have also narrowed down your options. Just as there are different patient transplant situations the aftercare follow up may be different as well. It never hurts to sound it out with members of your team. One size does not fit all. @beckyjohnson you should consider this too as you prepare to donate a kidney.
I'm not waiting to donate a kidney I am waiting for a liver transplant. Thank you for the information though. Probably best to stay with my daughter for full time care for a few weeks.
@gaylea1 fulltime care is best. My husband and I will be staying at Rochester for the first month after his transplant and I plan to stay home with him for at least another month after that.

I was told that I would need a 24 hour caregiver for the 1st 4-6 weeks post liver transplant.
