I Finally Got The Call For My Liver Transplant

I got the call to have my transplant and the surgery was cancelled minutes before operating time. I think none of us can wait to hear that cellular ring and it's our transplant coordinator on the phone, calling to inform us that an organ has just become available. I want to share my feelings about what happened and some of the facts surrounding the cancellation of the transplant. It was Sunday about 7:45pm and it was my coordinator telling me that a liver was available and if I was ready to have the transplant. I told her of course I was ready and excited about having the surgery! She told me to report to the ER and the doctor I met when I was going through my evaluation to get on the list would be there to meet me and get me checked into the hospital. I immediately told my caregiver that it was time and we had an hour and a half to get to the hospital. I can remember it seemed like time was moving so fast and everything that I had planned to do was racing through my mind. My bag was packed and I only needed to pack just a couple of things and I was off to the hospital. I lived about 40 minutes from the hospital and during the drive, I called my family members and friends informing them that I just got the call and my caregiver would text or call them when the surgery was completed. Based upon the information I was given before being called, the surgery would last about 6 hours. Once I got to the ER room, the doctor was there writing up the orders for my admission. He instructed the ER personnel that I would be moved to the ICU floor, so I could be prepped for transplant. While I was in the emergency room, I changed clothes and gave all my valuables, including my bag I packed, to my caregiver. I also had a line started and some blood was drawn for the pre-examination tests. I also had to sign some forms saying that I understood all the risks and possible complications that could happen during surgery. In total, I was in the emergency room no more than 45 minutes before someone came to move me to ICU on the fifth floor. 3dUXjscM

Tricks To Guarantee You Get The Best Sleep Of You

A good day usually starts and ends in a refreshing and revitalizing bout of sound sleep. Not being able to sleep then is not only exhausting, but can get extremely frustrating- especially as we watch the hours tick away, desperate for some quality shut eye. But even the most regular sleepers among us can hit a road block every now and then- the exciting night before a road trip, the anxious night before a big result is to be announced, or the odd unexpected late night where we miss our window of sleep all together. But no matter what your complaints and no matter just how good you are with your sleep, here are 7 handy tips to help you get the best sleep ever. 1. Turn off Distractions Do you take your phone or tablet to bed with you? Chances are these are eating into the length and quality of your sleep. Turn off the distractions and leave technology outside the bedroom to improve your snoozing experience. This not only cuts out undue rings, buzzes and distractions, but also omits bl...

Cure A Workout Hangover

Like all good things, your workout too can come with its very own hangover; overdo it on the track or at the gym and you might wake up to some very sore and aching muscles the next morning. Do you wear sore muscles as a badge of honor, or does it put a spanner in your plans for the day ahead? Whatever you relationship with pain, the post workout hangover, or DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) as it is medically termed, is a reality you may need to work your way through - no matter how fit or active you may be. You see no matter how inconvenient muscle soreness may be, it is actually a sign that your muscles are getting stronger. DOMS occurs when the body repairs the microscopic tears caused in the muscle during the course of the workout- usually a result of increased strain and impact that lies beyond the muscle's current comfort zone. Your body adapts to help you better prepare for the next time you encounter this new strain and therefore begins repairing the muscle- a process ...

Emergency Rooms Versus Immediate Care

Few things in life are scarier than a sudden illness or injury. The situation grows even scarier if the accident or illness strikes outside of business hours when it's impossible to see your regular physician. It can be easy to panic in these situations, but staying calm is critical to getting the best possible care. You'll need to choose between visiting the emergency room or an immediate care facility quickly. Read on for some tips on choosing between these two options so that when the time comes, you'll know what to do. Evaluate the Options Emergency rooms are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to deal with life-threatening emergencies. Once your condition is stabilized, you'll likely be released into the care of your regular physician. Many insurance plans will cover a portion of emergency care, but you will likely still have a deductible or co-payment for the visit. It's crucial to keep in mind that many health plans won't pay for ER visits if they dete...
