Well…I’m back to work full time, but unless I’m doing trainings, I basically do research and write 40-50 hours a week, so not physical labor. I do try to walk 2-3 miles a day, and I’ll get back to 3-4 mpd in the spring. I do get fatigued, but that’s undoubtedly due to Sjogren’s. I’m also 62. So, I’m not thinking I’m the average transplant recipient. On the other hand, at least I’m able to work, walk, and even went to a couple rock shows and danced a bunch before Covid got real bad again. And, given my comorbidities I’m doing ok, which, while frustrating at times, is a lot better than the alternative!

I know on my liver transplant support group there are others working full time, at least one of whom runs a construction company. He was back to work at his business within a month.
