This and That and Talk - My Transplant

@cmael My transplant team told me not to travel domestically for 6 months, and a year internationally. I think they take a hard line but if you are doing well they will give you some leeway. As it turned out there was no pressing need to travel within that time so I did no travel for a year.
Were you told to wear a mask when flying? I got some at CVS that had an antiviral coating.
An interesting thing I read somewhere, not specific to post transplant patients - the window seats have fewer germs than the aisle seats! There is a larger concentration of germs floating around where there is more open space. Unfortunately I have somewhat of an incontinence problem so if I sit by the window I have to disrupt people.

Actually, I asked about a mask and he said that wasn’t necessary, but it was up to me. I mentioned that I’ve seen several patients with masks in the transplant dr appt’s waiting area. He said those are mostly cancer patients. I did see recently that the window seats have less germs, I also have a pretty ID bracelet with my Mayo patient no., contact info etc on it, just in case.
