Well it is a week since my husband had his transplant and he is doing so well, he is coming home tomorrow, He looks so much better still in a bit of pain and blood sugar's are going to low but hopefully we can get them sorted.

Good question!! Pain wakes me up but I've also got a very inflamed ear canal!!! Dr gave me a spray which made my ear itch like mad so we had to go and get tablets instead!! How are you doing? Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

in reply to

I'm very well thanks Lynn. I have no pain as a reason to be awake. Woke up, couldn't go back to sleep so cuppa tea cuddled up on the sofa with my dog..... I'm knackered now though !! Xx

Sorry to "butt" in! Re sleeping patterns. I'm eight weeks post LT and have been home over six weeks and still up a silly hours! I must admit I do love having a tea at 3am in the morning and the silence. It's heavenly, well almost!

It's the 1 time I can actually catch up on some work or washing and ironing without being interrupted by phone calls or customers .... and tea does taste nicer in the middle of the night😃🍵

Great news & things will only get better.xx

Great news, I remember it well, my blood sugars were all over the place changed every drug alteration, 5 months later they are steady and I take a lot less insulin, I am sure they will settle.

Every day it gets easier

Good Luck

That's quick! He's, obviously, doing great! I was "released" after 9 nights and we thought that was quick. The pain will go quite quckily BUT I'm not a professional and you should be monitoring the pain and report it in clinic. My sugars were up and down for 6 weeks. They've now returned to normal levels. Best wishes to you both for the future and find something funny or beautiful in everyday 😊
