We all think that since the daily Tx is over, that we must start to get better but in fact many of us actually got worse as we have told you. Couple that with the daily opportunity to visit with your docs gone and you can feel a little scared especially if things do get worse so just be on the lookout for this possibility.
Even when I walked out of my tunnel in my 3rd week post Tx I was weak as a kitten for months so don't be to stubborn about taking that road trip to NC. Oh wait a minute, maybe Michael will give you a lift??
