This and That and Talk - My Transplant

@glinda, Several weeks ago when I was grocery shopping I passed a man and his wife several times in the aisles. He was wearing a mask. We were stuck in a crowded aisle, and I asked him if he was a transplant recipient. To my surprise, he replied that he had received a heart transplant in July of this year! He thanked me for saying something and we had a very interesting visit. He was thrilled to meet another transplant recipient! I did invited him to join the Mayo Connect discussion.

I drink herbal teas myself and the spiced chai that I drink is called Tazo decaf chai tea latte I like the Tazo better then the oregon spice chai the tazo has more spice and as i am THE ONLY TEA DRINKER IN MY FAMILY I love my tea

@glinda, I have very limited grocery stores in my town, so I doubt if I can find it either. I will look next time I am in the grocery store. I will let you know what I find. I do think that I have seen the Spiced Chai, though. I might give that one a try! So far I have relied on varieties of decaf tea. Rosemary

I have never heard of Rishi Tumeric Ginger Chai Tea myself I do love and drink Spiced Chai but would lime to ask if rhe Rishi Tumeric Ginger Chai is good and where would i be able to buy it as i love ginger but have never had tumeric thank you

@glinda, What a great opportunity to promote organ donation!
Gotta run, I'll check back later tonight:-)

Yes you can call me glinda and yes I am extra extra cautious and I do always take extra extra precautions at all times I even get strange looks and nasty comments from some people on the city bus because i wear a mask year round but i also get more people curious about why i wear the mask and rhey ask me about it and I tell them my story getting sick really scares me especially a cold

Thanks:-) Me too. I am fortunate to not have the heavy congestion and stomach bug that is hitting our area. However, I take precautions as soon as I feel something coming on, which is something that many people do not do. I also gave myself extra time because we were having family Christmas here at our house this past Sunday.

Glinda, ( Can I call you that? Is that your name?), Do you have to be extra-extra careful since your transplant because it was a cold that caused your heart failure? Or is your new heart not as sensitive to that?

So glad your cold is better have a merry christmas and a happy new year

@contentandwell JK, I hope that you continue to make progress. I try to keep in mind that even 'slow' progress is good:-)

I am recovered from my cold. I think it seemed extra long because we doing the preparations to have our kids in for our family Christmas here at our house. The afternoon came and went too quickly! Now my husband and I are on a more relaxed pace, and all the shopping and decorating is already finished. We will go to Christmas Eve service at his church, and Christmas Morning at mine.
Merry Christmas.

@rosemarya I am really into Rishi Tumeric Ginger Chai for my relaxing evening beverage. It’s not actually made with tea, so no caffeine and it’s so good. They have it at Whole Foods. I love it.
