@cromme50, I really like how your Mayo transplant team explained how anything we smell, taste, or feel has to be processed by our liver! Simple and easy to remember and to understand.
I also transplanted at Mayo Rochester, 15 years ago. It is a fantastic place! I received a simultaneous liver and kidney from an anonymous deceased donor. I return annually. Do you still have follow-ups at Mayo?
I don't recall whether I have shared the following link with you. But I feel certain that you have an experience that will be inspiring for those who are beginning their own transplant journey.
