Struggling post AV fistula surgery

Struggling post AV fistula surgery

I had my surgery last Tuesday and I'm struggling quite hard with the changes my body is experiencing. The swelling and the bruising freaks me out. I'm already on immune suppressing medications from my heart transplant, so I heal slowly. I'm fairly young (31) and it's hard to talk to people around me, I don't feel like they understand. Any advice would be appreciated, or even just to know I'm not alone.
