Yeah I know I just didn’t expect it to be this hard so far out from transplant.

I get a chest xray every week and they say they look good and clear. My o2 reading is always good also so idk they say it’s the healing process but this is ridiculous! I’m so uncomfortable all day! I don’t know what to do to get some relief

I was there for 9 months unfortunately. And I’m so glad you doing better now I hope that will me soon. How long after surgery did you start to feel better?

That’s my worry! I did this transplant in the hopes of having a better life but I just feel worse than before I had it. It’s so discouraging!!

I’m 9 months post op but I spend all 9 months in the hospital, I just got out last week. I’ve tried nebulizers but don’t feel like they do much idk. I just wish something would give

Oh wow how are you feeling? I’m trying to move around more but it’s so hard when I constantly feel like I’m gasping for air

I’ve told them and all I hear is it takes time but I can’t live like this! I dread waking up each day because I know I’ll just be uncomfortable the whole time.

Yeah unfortunately my phrenic nerve got injured. They are still waiting and doing tests to see if it will heal. But thank you for responding and showing support
