Caregiver problems after transplant
Hi, my name is "Em". I received a liver on June 8th, and my mom is my caregiver. She is being horrible to me. All she does is yell at me and make me feel awful. I get now rest and I am constantly stressed out. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HEAL?? I live with unfortunately, so while I was in the hospital she went through EVERYTHING in my room and threw stuff away and took EVERYTHING out of my room and put it in the hall, and now I am being told that it is my fault that all my stuff is missing....I just don't understand!!! Can someone please help me??? There is now one else that can be my caregiver due to the fact that all of my family lives in a different state. I'm so sad and stressed out.

@emily82 thank you for that, you really get to learn who’s loyal and who’s not my girlfriend and medical power of attorney stood by and was in personal contact with all of my doctors and still is my best supporter my family turned on her also if can believe that, I stay very positive and happy with my progress physically , pick your caregiver carefully people

1 ReactionThings have finally calmed down in my house, I think the realization of what I am going through has finally clicked in my Mom. I mean don't get me wrong there are still a few tense times for the most part it's better. I went back into the hospital on Monday June 29, 2026, for swelling in my abdomen and a lot of pain, also, on and off chest pain, and painful swallowing. Turns out because of all the swelling in my legs, my doctors gave me what I like to call SUPER Diuretics. I lost 23 lbs. of fluid in 3 days. it caused my kidneys to take a major hit and my electrolytes were all out of wack, so I stay in the house till Thursday. They did an EGD turns out I have esophageal ulcers. Since being home, I am feeling much better. I actually cooked something today. i have been resting alot. Thank you all for your responses it truly has helped.
