Such a great topic to start, @gingerw. Caregivers are so critical to the success of the transplant and the recipient's well being, as we all know. I'd like to bring fellow transplant caregivers into this conversation too: @stella25, @hansonca03, @lisamb, @jbilton, @jodee, @fatherscaregiver, @genocurt, @chevynova67, @gaybinator, @28snash, @myson, @kaegee

What do you wish you had known? What tips would you share with other transplant caregivers who will be accompanying a loved one on their gift of life journey?

I never had a caregiver 😔 I had to for it on my own. Husband was and is of no help whatsoever 😡

I’m also interested in receiving advice regarding caring for a heart transplant recipient. I’m struggling right now. On the one hand I’m so thankful for the surgery. On the other hand I’m ready to start living again. It’s only been 4 months. What do you do when one partner is recuperating and the other is healthy and active?
