Hi J@ackie421blfdgurl

I'm sorry to hear you had such a tough start after transplant.

I spent two weeks in the hospital after my Liver and Kindey transplant. My family and I thought it was too soon to go home but the doctors assured us that i would be fine and the organs were working well. within 24 hours i went to the back to the hospital because a stitch popped and was bleeding. I was super cautious after that. I hate haveing the trech in, to me it's the worst. I can remember getting us to walk hours after waking up from surgery and i also remember being bed bound once i got to my room. Having ppl attend to me is hard to accept evein if im in the hospital. I struggle with that and it sometimess makes me depressed. I've always been self sufficient. You just have to give yourself time to heal. Take it one day at a time. On days when im frustreated i allow myself to cry or do whatever im feeling at the time and then i do whatever i need to to cheer myself up.
I always try to remember that although what i've been through was rough, there are others out there either just like me or in worse situations.
Talking helps alot. Im glad that I decided to find myself a therapist to talk to. She may not always understand how i feel but it helps to get the frustration out. it's hard having to be strong for ourselves all the time.

Keep on!!!
