Liver transplant recipient: Care memories to share

Hi, Lissa and Welcome to the Transplant Discussion group. I am happy to meet you and I want to extend my virtual handshake to you.
I am a transplant recipient, too. And I also experienced blessings with my contact and treatment at Mayo (Rochester).
I want to invite you to participate in any of our discussions. I am going to guess that you are already familiar with some of them as a result of your reading!
I would like to ask you a couple questions that this discussion has brought to my own mind.
-What brought you to Mayo Clinic Connect? How did you discover this on line community?
-Without names, Can you recall an event or a situation that stands out in your memory of a particularly 'wonderful' staff interaction?
I look forward to reading what you have to share!

Thank you for your reply. I found Mayo Clinic connect while still in the hospital last year and have been reading along since.
I have so many wonderful memories that I could share and so many people to thank... Some of the people that standout the most in my mind are the nursing assistants. Not everyone realized their value but for me they were invaluable. One in particular always went out of her way to make me feel great. She would rub my back, or feet... Spend time talking to me and listening to me. This became so important to me because of complications with peritonitis after my transplant. I never met a single person there from the doctors to the people that cleaned my room... Everyone was kind, respectful and caring.
