Living Life after your Transplant

A college friend of my is a travel nurse and is on a four months assignment in Arizona. Since he lives on the East Coast, I was hoping we could meet for dinner while he is only two hours away from where I live now. Unfortunately, he was assigned to work on the Covid floor, so I decided that it won’t be safe for me to be around him. So sad that I had to cancel!

@alive, I can certainly understand your disappointment, but you did what you know you must do. Your friend who is a nurse, will most certainly understand.
As transplant/immunosuppressed people, we know first hand the fragility of life, and we will do everything possible to protect our lives and those of our family and friends! You both deserve to be commended for this heroic decision and all of those you make each day!

@alive It really is so difficult to continue to adhere to strict restrictions. My husband wants to go to his son's house for Thanksgiving but I know his two adult daughters will not have been that careful, they are two young singles, living in the city. I really don't want to go there and have to have a mask on the whole time, which of course I couldn't do during dinner.
To me, and I have read this to be true, one of the biggest risks is eating in restaurants because no one is wearing a mask while they eat. Eating Thanksgiving dinner there will be akin to that.
