Thanks, Betty! I was curious and just had a read through your tips.
Wow, your husband's hospital experience was VERY different to mine - in a lot of respects, I could say the exact opposite of what you've listed! It might be worth stressing that hospitals vary a LOT in their transplant procedures, and that your tips may not apply elsewhere. The biggest is that I've never heard of non-patients being allowed to stay in the same room as the transplantee. I can't imagine that, it just makes me germ-crazy just thinking about it! Also, I love my husband dearly, but I think I'd kill him if I were trapped in the same room as him for 5 weeks, 24/7!
(I think the funniest thing going through my mind is "Wow, they provide razors put they won't let you put posters up?? What a strange place!"
)
