Margaret,

Yes it is a relief not to have to make that daily commute but at the same time I felt medically alone since I was not able to have direct daily access to any of my docs. I even had to go to the ER appx 2 weeks after my Tx ended which I may have avoided if I was being seen every day. Besides I was just to darn miserable to feel any relief about anything for the 2 to 3 weeks post Tx.
