Life with a transplant during COVID

@loribmt, I’m so glad you got to go to Florida! @alive, I’m with you. I have to work. I’m in an office 5 days a week. I wear a mask. I’m definitely nervous, but it is what it is. Sometimes I do envision it would be nice to have my desk in one of those hamster bubble things though…probably be more comfortable than a mask!

Remember Bubble Boy from Seinfeld? LOL. I often felt like that the first year after transplant, having to wear a mask everywhere. And just at the point I was able to shed my mask, Covid hit. Now my masks are such a normal part of life, just another accessory. (An extension of my professional life when I wore a mask, 8 hours a day for 30+ years in the dental office)
It would be so much easier if everyone got on board with wearing them until this crisis is over. But until then, it’s up to us to create our own “bubbles’, huh. ☺️
Stay safe out there, Athena and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Do you spend it with family?

Working outside of the home is definitely a tricky thing! I worked remotely from the time Covid hit until August of this year. Now I work a hybrid schedule and work remotely two days out of the week. I work at a university where mask wearing is very much a norm, but sometimes a colleague of mine will pop into my office not wearing a mask or we will have 5-6 people eating lunch in our conference room. It makes me feel uneasy, but I also don’t want to draw attention to my health condition. It’s such a fine line for me, since I am working for a new department where only one person knows that I had a transplant.
