What did you find most surprising once you were out of the ICU?
Intensive Care (ICU) | Last Active: Dec 16, 2021 | Replies (107)Comment receiving replies
It is very frustrating when you trying to piece it all together. Then to top it off trying to just heal inside and out and try be normal again. I have not had nightmares or hallucinations but i find im battling understanding the physical side after icu.
But i was also not told a thing for what to look out for or what to expect when i get home. I was lucky though to had made friends with the icu nurses, so i msg them to sometimes put pieces together. I do hope u get more answers

Thanks for your response and for sharing your experience. I'm sorry that you've encountered some of the same barriers. That's great that you have some connections to the nurses who cared for you. I find myself wishing I could talk to mine. As far as getting answers, I'm currently working on writing down everything I remember. I'm considering obtaining my medical records and asking a close friend who came to visit what she remembers to help me put those pieces together, like you said.
