How do I deal with my husband? Transplant patient changed demeanor
How do I get my husband to be more compassionate. Since the first day after surgery he has been very mean with me. He says I was disrespected of him because I made the decision to stop him from walking further down the hallway of the hospital after he said he was lite headed. He wanted to walk further and I said no. Was I wrong to make that call? It's been he'll every since that day 3 years ago

It's an interesting coincidence, next night of my kidney transplant, I could not sleep & was miserable lying in the bed as BP was high, I could not bear " me lying on the bed" so I called the attending nurse and told her to walk with me, with all the connections still intact.
The walk made feel great and very +ve, I had pain a bit of light headed ness but "my mind was over the body" that night my wife the donor also slept in the same room they had an extra bed.... my wife was like "do what you want did you ask the Dr ?) I just smiled
Next day the surgeon made his normal round and said we are going to release you 1 day earlier ..you walked ..which is good sign.... He did say were you light headed, I said a bit..but I was super determined to walk ......but of course ...that's me .. it varies from person to person.
Good luck, ( my wife the donor .. in general we both have our own way of thinking but that's for the best outcome,
Thank you Sidney073. I needed to know a light still shines at the end of the tunnel.
