Transplant: No or Few Antibodies after COVID Vaccination

I started at my transplant hospital but they sent me home sick after 5 days. A home nurse was assigned to me and when she came to my house, she saw I was near death and called 911 immediately. I went by hospital to a different hospital that handled the bulk of the covid cases. I received excellent care at the second hospital. I should never have been sent home from my transplant hospital. I got terrible treatment there. I was not treated with remdisiver as I was told it could damage my kidney. Monoclonal antibody treatments were not yet available. I was treated with steroids and pain medication. They had me go through a day of physical therapy to prove I was strong enough to leave. As I said before, I had a lot of at home services which really helped. When I look back at my experience, I really see the hand of God in protecting me and my kidney.

Thank you so much for all the details regarding your covid experience @banksnc49 You really went through a lot!! I totally agree with you that God was watching over YOU and your kidney! I am a one year post kidney transplant patient. I had my transplant during the pandemic! I am curious, after seven years post kidney transplant what does your creatinine and BUN look like? I am hoping that seven years from now I am doing as well as you Nancy! 😊

It’s rather disgraceful that your transplant hospital sent you home when you were still so ill with Covid. I’m glad you were able to get the care that you needed!
