My wife felt very vulnerable when she was first released into the big scary world after 44 days in the hospital for her transplant. She also felt apprehensive when she moved from an isolation room back into a "mainstream" room.
It's like you were in a protective cocoon and now you're unprotected. Even though it's your goal to get to those "safe levels", you get used to the quiet and isolated environment.
