Packing question: What did you have ready for "the call"?

@gaylea1 I never lost my appetite, unfortunately, but I wonder if tastes, etc., about your donor can affect a recipient. I enjoy hot, spicy foods more now than I ever did before.
I do think what is served in the hospital can have an effect. I love coffee but it was not good in the hospital and I didn't want any for a while after each of my hospital stays, particularly when I was in my miserable, local hospital.

@contentandwell, do you remember this discussion from 2016-2017?
- Changes after Transplant https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/changes-after-transplant/
In the discussion that @2011panc started, members share about things that changed after their transplant - changes in how one approaches life, mood, emotions and even taste and personality changes. I think this was the discussion (see page 2) where you made your first post on Connect. Check it out.
