@jeanne5009 @2011panc When we asked my transplant surgeon about the worry over rejection, he was very reassuring. He told us to not worry, they can handle it. I trust him. I think if that ever does happen they will be able to handle it.
When I went in the hospital for what turned out to be Legionnaire's disease one of the first questions they asked me was if I was taking my immunosuppressants. Most of the time rejection happens because people have skipped them.

@contentandwell You are so right. Transplant recipients often worry much more than they need to. Because I have so many "pots cooking at the same time" I have a daily checklist I go through. It is not obsessive, more of a "if/then" elimination balance sheet. If all systems are good the checklist is done. If something is off I have to decide "emergent/watch" If emergent I have to decide "my solution/need help" And so on. That works for me and gives me comfort. I like not having to fix anything; I also like to know how to get a fix if something needs it. I still use that security blanket.
