@frank73, I hope you saw the helpful post from @shmerdloff. I agree that it is important to take precautions. Having low white blood cells means that getting fever is different for you than the average person. But you also have to live your life. People who have an organ transplant are also considered immune compromised. You might appreciate these tips from members of the Transplant support group to living life well while also staying free of infection.

Thank you all for your responses, this is all new to me and am trying to work through it. But I decided to do what one MD said is you need to live your life. My biggest problem is we live on 40 acres and there is work to do on it all the time I went out with with a machete to cut weeds and fell in a ditch and had a hard time getting up. I just do not know how to cope with the lost of ability. But thank you all for your help.
