@hello1234, I am sorry to learn that you tested positive for Covid. I know from your conversations and responses here on Connect, that you are being extremely proactive about your health and that you are following the safety guidelines for Covid protection. In my opinion, you are doing the right things, however this illness is defying all of the rules that we know.
I don't know why or how you caught it and I don't know why I have not yet caught it. Could it be that I am 13 years post transplant? Maybe. Why did I not catch it when husband got in before the vaccines were approved?
I am fully boosted and have had Evusheld. I continue to take precautions which are pretty much the same precautions that I learned to follow when I received my transplant in 2009. Covid brought the addition of a mask. I am selective of where I go and when I go.

I hope that you are enjoying another cup of tea and will continue to feel better.
Were any of your meds adjusted due to the Covid? Will you have additional labs, or doctor visit?

I wear my mask whenever in public and wash my hands at least 15 times a day. This includes whenever I am near anyone else including pumping gas or going through a toll (parking), or just walking on a street.
My son and husband just got over having COVID. While they had COVID they were quarantined to their respective rooms and were only allowed to use one of the bathrooms and had to stay on the second level. Whenever they came to the same floor as me, they and I would wear a mask. I would wipe down anything that they touched. When I would use the same bathroom as them, I would have my husband clean it with bleach right before I would use. I would deliver their food at their door and pick up dirty dishes from outside their respective door. For one week after they tested negative, I still made them wear a mask if they came on the same floor. If I were to use the same bathroom as them, I would wipe it down.
Luckily, I haven't contracted COVID since November 2020 (before the vaccines of which I have had 4 before my transplant).

Hi @hello1234
These are good questions. I never wear a mask to pump gas as it is outside, but as a longtime germ-a-phobe I use hand sanitizer after touching anything in public. I do occasionally eat out, but go at off times when there are less people. I was surprised this week at a local Dr appointment they have dropped masking. I still prefer to mask when in close contact indoors, but not at home. I was potentially exposed to Covid last Sunday when driving my daughter back to college after she had been out of town at a wedding, but so far I have tested negative. (she didn’t have symptoms until Monday) Maybe Evusheld is still helping? I have been debating getting my second round.

@hello1234 Not a transplant patient, but severely compromised with blood cancer, end sage kidney disease, and autoimmune conditions.

I mask outside of my house. At store, gas station, any medical appointment, eating out. And use antibacterial hand sanitizer all the time. Sometimes I wear disposable gloves for pumping gas. Can't be too cautious, is my opinion. Eating out at offtimes, same with store visits. Learned a long time ago that I get my smile "go to my eyes" to convey my emotions.
