Hi, I live in Western Colorado and I had my transplant in August of last year in Arizona. I'm feeling fine. Still a few complications with dizziness, but overall I'm getting out and feeling strong. Now the State wants me to stay home. We only have one case of covid -19 in our County. I think I'm okay and the risk is low. What does everyone else think? I would still like to go to church and the men's group tomorrow.

Hi I would stay home for sure until you are 100% complete cured especially that your immune system may be compromised for quite some time I am also on the liver transplant list and have been waiting for 10 years for a donor unfortunately have not found anyone but I would definitely stay in the house and remain washing your hands at all costs to keep you from catching anything else stay strong take one day at a time

@livertrex - Please stay home not only for yourself but for the protection of others. Thats my interpreatation of "Love thy neighbor".

@livertrex I would definitely not go to anything like church or a group meeting. It is too difficult in those settings to maintain that 6’ distance from other people. I am 3.5 years post-transplant and the only thing I am allowing myself is grocery shopping at non-busy hours. I was there at 7:00 this morning when they had just opened.
