A visual timeline of my Hospital Stay. Don't worry, none were taken when I was in a coma or had a ventilator

21 vials of blood the night I was admitted to CPMC

Happy New Year!!!

My view from a room

The hospital is a teaching hospital and this med student had to try to diagnose me. I threw up halfway through his interview. Saw him after surgery and he said I was very helpful:)

My view

Another room view, I think?

They blew a vein in my hand

Room 330 in T-ICU. Don't really remember having this picture taken

Jenny my BFF- She was there a lot. Thank you for all your support Jenny!!

My parents. Couldn't ask for better parents! Thank you for everything!

My husband Joe- MY ROCK. He refused to shave until I was discharged. He called it my rally beard. I love you and couldn't ask for a better more supportive husband. He slept in a chair a lot during my stay.

The day I woke up after surgery. Vent was out! I am holding a suction tube that I had to cough up shit from my lungs into.

Harp player came into my  room to help relax me!

My medicine for the month. I will be on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of my life.



My medical alert necklace. My parents spoiled me and upgraded to 14K gold since I have to wear it for the rest of my life.

My neck wounds from my central line and my liver biopsy. A needle went into my neck and down to my liver for the biopsy while I was wide awake... gives me the willies!

The pumped me full of liquids and my face was so swollen!

Day I got my staples out. Sorry it's sideways...
