@crystalfaye, I had forgotten that you are a recent transplant recipient - 6 weeks. As soon as I realized that, I knew that I needed to re-reply to you.
At 6 weeks, I also was moody and emotional. Medications, recovery, turmoil of adjusting to diet and medication schedule, and the relief after my difficult pre transplant health all played a part for me. I got so-o-o tired of people, when I returned home at 3 weeks, telling me how brave I was! Blah - I don't have a brave bone in my body! Each day was a struggle, each day was facing another day of waiting and wondering if I would get a transplant in time to live and if I would ever return home. Many people in my circle were ready to move on, as if nothing had happened or changed. any thought I was being too emotional and needed to just be happy the surgery went well. It isn't that easy!
Another thing that I remember is that I had a difficult time focusing or concentrating. Crystal, time will make it easier for you to resume communication and to enjoy it again. I think that as your medications are reduced, that you will also feel differently.
Does this sound like what you are experiencing?

Good morning!!! What you have described sounds somewhat identical. I just tell others that yes I am feeling better but unfortunately do not feel like going shopping, visiting, out to eat, etc. just yet. With my immunity being low I do not feel that it is wise to be exposed to others at this time. With that being said, I am extremely thankful and grateful for all of the love and support everyone has given me throughout my journey. Most especially the prayers that have been, and continue to be, lifted up to our Heavenly Father!!!!
