Days turn into weeks, and weeks into months; when you suffer from a chronic disease and have a major surgery, like an organ transplant, it takes months to recuperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although time moves slowly in the hospital, when you have many teams of specialists, there is a constant revolving door of nurse&nbsp;practitioners and doctors throughout the day, asking you questions, examining, probing, and poking you. Weekends are a nice respite from the busy weekday traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jen&#8217;s hospital stay and recovery after her second double-lung transplant include continuous IV medications and feeds through a GJ tube, insulin, and two dozen pills. Additionally, she takes pills for chronic pain&nbsp;and nausea following her transplant surgery. Jen also has daily sessions with OT and PT therapists to help her stand, walk, and do everyday tasks that she hasn&#8217;t been able to do for herself since her chronic organ rejection disease progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jen is doing well with her therapists, and her doctors plan to have her transition from the hospital ICU to the NYU RUSK inpatient rehabilitation program this&nbsp;coming week. There, she&#8217;ll receive holistic and integrated physical therapy resources to get back on her feet and start the next chapter of her life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then,&nbsp;<strong>Hospital Time&nbsp;<\/strong>continues to tick away slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforjenslungs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6289\/2024\/09\/IMG_2998-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforjenslungs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6289\/2024\/09\/IMG_2998-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforjenslungs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6289\/2024\/09\/IMG_2998-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforjenslungs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6289\/2024\/09\/IMG_2998.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day in the hospital is the same, and time blurs from one day to another.
