I’m 7 days post and so paranoid about getting sick it’s starting to feel unhealthy. I picked something out of my teeth and accidentally swallowed now I’m scared I’ll get sick, I won’t let people visit or bring me flowers because the nurse said flowers could carry things. My hubby has a cold, he wears a mask and we sleep separately but I wince in fear when he comes near me. I sanitize constantly, and I’m scared to touch things in the house. I’m hoping this will pass soon.

My transplant is a week away! I’m so anxious thinking about all the things I won’t be able to do after. I’ve been cleaning house, preparing food, and worrying about everything. What other things should I make sure I get done before I go in?

So I’m 56F and pre dialysis. Gfr 11%. I’ve been given a gift of a directed donation and it’s booked for Sept 29th. I’ve watched the videos they sent but I know that’s not the full story. Can anyone share some personal experiences, some questions I should maybe ask, what’s it like for the first month post? Also I’d like to know about living with all the meds suppressing my immune system?

I am booked for my directed donation transplant in September. I’m reaching out to learn as much as I can about what to expect so I can advocate for myself. My coordinator suggested I go for coffee with someone who been through it but I don’t have that option. Thanks in advance.
