Hi, @genocurt. I want to express my belated welcome to Connect. I also want to say congratulations to you and your husband as you celebrate your 3rd month with his lung transplant! I have a liver and kidney (simultaneous tranplant) and am 10 years post transplant.

You have brought up a very interesting and important topic about seeking out practices that are supported by a (your) medical team. As I have listened and observed from other transplant patients over my years as a recipient, I have learned that each individual, each organ, and each doctor/transplant facility has some unique variations on what is required. I want to encourage you to continue to ask questions, and to share your experience here on Connect. I enjoy your point of view and experience because you are in a unique position of speaking as a lung recipient.

I have located some more discussiont that I want to share with you:

- Browse Connect pages for newsfeed posts from Mayo Clinic experts. You'll also find useful resources and information.

Are you and husband home now? How can I help you to adjust to your new life? I am here for any and all questions.

Hello Rosemary, thanks for the welcoming message. Yes, we are finally home after spending 3 months in Jacksonville. Adjusting to the "new normal" will take some getting used to, but I think we are coping well. As for many people in this group, preparing food can sometimes be a challenge as we are learning the dos and don'ts of food preparation. We have not been out to eat yet, and I am very careful about what I fix at home. We are also very aware of the environment and its pollutants.
As we said in a previous post, we enjoy reading the posts and participating in this community.
