Preparing for Your Lung Transplant Appointment: What to Expect and How to Get Ready



trick tips
Appointment

Hi and welcome to my page. 🩷 Today, I want to write about my next month's appointment, which is on the 6th of February. During this appointment, I will be talking about my lung transplant journey. I'm not sure how things are going to go during this appointment, but I am trying to prepare myself to be strong mentally and not cry. I also want to make sure that I don't forget what I want to say to my doctors. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I want exactly 🤣😭Over the past few weeks, my psychologist suggested that I write down what I want to say during the appointment and what I want after my transplant. I mentioned that I want my family to be with me when I wake up, and I have a bigger plan as well. However, this plan needs to be done before the transplant, which involves moving to another house by myself. Currently, I am living with my partner and his family, but the house is not suitable for me due to the stairs. So, I am focusing on this aspect and feeling quite stressed because nothing has happened yet 😒. I can't have my lung transplant without a new home, and it's really challenging. Unfortunately, if the doctors say that I don't need the transplant, I will still move to another house. This is my dream for 2024, to be successful regardless of whether I need the transplant or not. Currently, my fev1 is only 20-24% 😭. During my appointments with my lung specialist, I feel like he wants me to have this surgery to improve my life and make it easier. I know it's a big opportunity for me, but it's also very difficult 😟. I know I need to be strong. Another thing is that I don't want my family to know about my feelings, which is why I am writing them down. They don't even want me to have this surgery because they think it's too risky. Now, I feel stuck with my emotions.
