Thank you Rosemary. Fortunately, for now, anyway masks are required in public buildings. I agree that it does present an opportunity for sharing about organ transplants and donation. My job interviews were with the mayor and two department heads. As I wanted to be transparent about why I left my last position with a municipal entity, I told them about my liver disease and transplant. The mayor said a good friend of hers is a kidney transplant recipient. It resulted in a positive conversation and I even mentioned our culinary arts webinars, So, this is good, as I work directly under her.

Way to testify and share!

Weee, good luck on Monday, Athena, though you won’t need luck. You’d be a asset to any team! ☺️
Being transparent with your transplant story was a great way to open doors for conversation. It might even help with the masking and avoidance of uncomfortable situations in the future. We shouldn’t have to justify why we push to wear masks or take extra precautions but sometimes it’s just easier.
Of course we’ll all be waiting for a report of the first day. 😉
