When it comes to making such decisions - I personally go into an ultra orthodox mode, I would not take any chances / risk (on my compromise immune system) with the kidney that my wife has given to me.. That's me.. so please don't feel offended.. it is strictly my opinion.

Hi @l0lag0lag0b3 😊
So great to hear from you! I can totally relate to your description of "ultra orthodox" mode. As much as I would love to participate in the family reunion, and as much as my pre-transplant self LOVED, LOVED, LOVED cruises....I am petrified of putting myself on a cruise now (post-transplant and post-covid). Definitely no offense taken. I agree with all your concerns. Thanks for jumping into the discussion and sharing your thoughts!

Reading your reply, I realized that I have gone into my "ultra orthodox mode" for more than just what a cruise would do. Crowded events, lots of strangers/people, all serve to make me too nervous, to be able to enjoy myself. I never have been a big party person, thank goodness! It is simply safer to stay home than risk the possibility of infection of any sort.
