In the first few days after my double-lung transplant in 2020, I was looking at a hand-held mirror and saw a central venous catheter protruding from the left side of my neck. A large, bulky bandage covered the right side. Little did I know then that the bandage represented something that would change my health and long-term treatment. My right arm and hand were also grossly swollen.
