@crystalfaye, @ajdo129 - Welcome to Mayo Connect. It is fantastic that you both have recently joined Connect - and - you are both recent liver transplant recipients. Congratulations on your liver transplants!
I am also a transplant recipient. I received a liver and kidney in 2009. Reading your posts brings back memories of my own post transplant recovery time. I was a daily walker before liver failure and kidney failure. I benefited from PT in hospital during pre transplant hospitalizations and also during my recovery time. I remember the discomfort of standing up straight and the back aches. As @katebw has already shared, walking and more walking as are excellent. You just have to listen to your body and be careful not to over do it!

What do you wish that you knew before your transplant that might have made your recovery easier for you and for your family?

I was not totally prepared for the vast range of emotions I am experiencing. Immediately after my transplant I was so mean!!! Totally not the norm for me. While that has dissipated, I find that I am not quite the communicator that I use to be. Yes, I loved to talk and interact with others. Today, not so much. 😢
