Greetings, I had my 3-month appointment with my liver transplant team. The nutritionist, the nurse, and my doctor all felt that a mask 😷 would be fine since, as you said, fungal spores are bigger than viruses. A N95 isn’t necessary, just a well fitted one. But, I’m supposed to wear long gloves to avoid getting compost on me, long pants, etc. (oh joy) and, wash well. Oh, and the good news is I get to cut my Mycophenolate dose down to 1,000 mg/day!

Did you find out about gardening?

Good for you!!!! Oh that’s really awesome and I’m happy you can reduce your meds a bit too! Sounds like you had a rewarding appointment! ☺️
Alas, I’m still banned from gardening but I can now eat fresh mushrooms. The white button kind from the grocery store. Rooting in the dirt even with an N-95 is out until I’m off all my meds and have all my vaccinations. Maybe by gardening season next spring. That’s ok I’m happy as a clam just to eat honey and mushrooms again.
Hey, what about a tyvek suit for gardening! LOL. Nothing sticks to that…
