It has been drilled into my head that post-tx life is filled with doctors visits (for awhile anyway) and expensive co-pays. Have you been able to support yourself or do you rely on your family/spouse's income? Could you go back to work? Could you go back to the same job that you had before or did you train for something new? Or are you still on SSD?

After my transplant, I finished my senior year of college and started working full time two weeks after I graduated. I have a very fulfilling and demanding career in insurance. I've never had a problem with doctor visits, sinus surgeries, or even surprise illnesses. I've always had very considerate managers. I also work very hard at my job so they trust that my work is always done.
You will be able to find your own way after transplant, but nothing should really be holding you back anymore.

I started working about 8 months after my transplant and started going back to school 6 months after I started working. I am now 4 yrs post transplant and have the same job I started working 8 months post transplant. I now work full time about 38 hours a week and go to school part time. I find it can be challenging at times to maintain getting enough rest, but I do have the energy for it and as long as I do I will keep doing it.
