Advice for new transplant patients:
1. Listen carefully to instructions from your Team. Take notes and ask questions. Get their instructions in writing.
2. Never hesitate to ask any question, no matter how simple. I always challenge my doctors. They are not perfect.
3. Take you meds religiously. I have alarms set on my phone. Make sure your support person knows your med schedule. Keep a copy of your med schedule inyour wallet.
4. If your health changes suddenly, talk with your Team ASAP. There should be someone on call 24/7 that is paid to answer your call. Share with your support person.
5. Stay positive!!! Rely on your faith for comfort.

There is probably more, but this is a good start.

Excellent. The only think I would add, and it’s an obvious, is stay hydrated!
