Wow! Great to hear from you! How are you doing? Are you back to walking? How’s BooBoo 🐕? Sorry about the lack of antibodies…yup, invest in stylish mask attire. A friend got me one with flamingos on it, my new favorite. It’s getting cold in the mornings here, so I had my black mask on with my black beanie…definitely ninja 🥷 like.

I sent an email to the head of a different rheumatology department than the one I gave up on. They said they’d see me, I just need to get a referral. So, I requested one. I remain hopeful.

Let me know how things are with you.

@jackie421blfdgurl, It is good to hear from you. I am happy that you have had your 3 Covid19 shots. I have not been a participant in one of the clinical trials, so I do not know my antibody level.

For us transplant recipients, masking, and safe distancing, and hand washing are a must. Myself, a 12 year transplant veteran, I continue to follow the CDC guidelines for a nonvaccinated individual. I am taking no chances.
I sometimes wonder if you or other newer transplant recipients are aware that all transplant recipients, before Covid, have ALWAYS practiced safe distancing and hand washing? Some of us wore masks during flu season - or at least avoided many indoor activities when flu was rampant in our regions. Did you know that?
