Top Transplant Hacks: Patients Share Their Best Tips and Tricks Dec 17, 2022 | By Mayo Clinic Transplant Staff (@mayoclinictransplantstaff)Comment receiving replies
@rosemarya asked me to post a few tips that I follow. When you go to an appt, bring along your own entertainment. Don't handle waiting room materials. (I bring my Kindle and a small portable crochet project) Keep hand sanitizer nearby, bring your own pen to fill out forms, Don't be shy to use a mask if around many strangers. Watch door handles and doors, even in medical facilities and labs. Use that sanitizer anytime you eat out, after handling the menu.

Ginger, I have friends who tell me that when they knit or crochet in the waiting room at doctor's office, that their blood pressure readings are lower. Hmmm?
I have not seen any other references to that, have you?
I guess it depends on whether or not you have a simpls or intricate pattern.

Those are great tips for everyone, @gingerw, especially as we enter the flu season. I usually have my smartphone with me which has a Kindle app with my e-books, so I can always read while I wait. I had never thought about the germs on magazines before.
