My family is extremely supportive, as are my friends, and probably more vigilant than necessary. I’m only “allowed” to be around my mom, brother, SIL, and nieces. My dog and I go on drives so we can both put our heads out of the window 😂. I’m a bit frustrated because I had to move into my mom’s house—can’t live alone for one year post-transplant—and had plans to move into an amazing apartment but had to cancel that plan once this hit. I feel like a brat even complaining since I’m very fortunate to be healthy and have a safe place to live.

Regarding my healthcare, I go to LabCorp once a month. I was worried at first but they are amazingly safe and aware. I can’t go to Georgetown because my doctors want to keep me away from any COVID patients, so my clinic appointments are all tele-health at this point.

I’d like to add one note to the hacks/tips and tricks: I have a 7-day pill set that I fill every week so I only have to carry one day’s worth at a time, and I set a reminder in my phone (8am, 12pm, 8pm) just in case.

@jsw, Yes! That is a great idea! A 7-day pill set is extremely helpful. A note of caution: make sure that the lids on those little compartments close securely. After I had mine for a while, the lids didn't fit tightly, and I had pills scattered everywhere in my purse.

I am laughing at my image of you and your dog riding along with your heads out the window!
