So, this year you can celebrate that the transplant has already happened! It is amazing how much can change in a year.
I am sorry to hear that you and your husband are 'under the weather'. I do hope that you will feel better by Christmas, too.

I am getting over a cold. I have been so careful to avoid crowds and using my hand sanitizer, but a week after my husband came down with a cough and cold symptoms, I was suffering, too. I have observed, since my transplant, that I take a longer time to get over the symptoms. It took me a while to realize that it would be my new normal.
Will your transplant allow you to take anything for the cough?

Yes, this year being post transplant is a wonderful thing! I’m still amazed when I think of it.
My transplant nurse team recommended Robitussin without DM and drinking black tea with honey and or lemon, which I do quite often. I caught my cold from my husband too. Kind of hard when you live with someone to avoid their germs.
