Hi @hello1234 and @jennifer0726 I’m coming up on 3 years post bone marrow transplant and I’m right there with you, still taking precautions with not eating out…some of it is covid related, some related to infection avoidance with food borne bacteria. At some point, I do hope the Covid situation allows most of us to at least return to dining-out, inside a restaurant. I’m not at all comfortable taking that chance yet. But if Covid wasn’t around I’d definitely eat in a restaurant again. We all know our lists of things to avoid by now and to get everything hot. It’s a small price to pay for still being alive and well, right?

However, let me give you a little hint about your pedicure and manicures. Get your own tools so that they are used only for you. They can be sterilized at home. You don’t want the risk of contracting fungi, bacteria and blood-borne viruses like hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV. Not sure about the foot baths but most places now have plastic liners they change. With proper masking and a check with the salon for Covid protocol you should be safe enough to return for the mani-pedi. One of my transplant nurses said to never get the cuticles cut when having nails done. Always keep in mind it can be a potential source for contamination.
For a massage, you can always have the practitioner have you seated in a therapy chair. You’re upright but leaning forward a little, not lying on your stomach. Have you tried that?
