Hi @lizzy102, I didn't realize that you are a transplant recipient. You may be interested in the Transplants group on Connect here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/transplants/
In this discussion, members are talking about the virus and how to stay safe:
- COVID-19 and Transplant Patients https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/covid-19-in-transplant-patients/
In fact, we created an entire group dedicated to COVID-19 to help people cope, find connection during social isolation and get answers to questions that seem to be changing by the minute.

Lizzy, it sounds like aural rehab is going well. I'm curious about the taste bud issues. Can you explain the relationship between the Cochlear implant and taste? Anyone?

Here’s an article about how taste issues develop post-CI surgery, Colleen.

I don’t know why that didn’t paste as a link. Please, copy and paste to your browser.
Thank you so much for the links. I am already reading and posting to the transplant group. I’m out 30 years on my two family members kidneys (one lasted 11 years and the other us 20 and counting!). I’ll check out the others. Be well.
