At some point after my transplant, I asked a similar question about going somewhere. The response was, "You had this transplant so that you could enjoy life, so as long as you take any necessary precutions, you should feel free to 'Go'".

Based on your execllent check-up, I think you should plan to visit your friend! Just be sure that you take your friend is not sick, wash hands, observe any food restrictions, etc... and enjoy yourself!

@rosemarya When my husband had his kidney transplant Oct 2016, he had to stop riding his motorcycle for a while. This was difficult for him, as he has about 500K miles just on motorcycles! I remember the transplant doctor telling him that he didn't give him a new kidney just to look at. As soon as he could demonstrate he could stomp his foot down hard on the exam room floor, they deemed him okay to ride again.
