Germy Co-Workers

Wow that is a high dose of Prograf. Hope you get down to the 1 or 2 mg of Prograf some of us are on.

I think she meant Myfortic, Chris. You'd need to swallow 360 of the 5mg Prograf capsules to get to 1800mg a day.

I can never remember which is which.

Here is the problem I am having.....Co-workers using my stuff when I am not at my desk. I don't want to run the risk of picking up whatever cold/icky germs they might have on their hands. It is known around here that certain people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom.
I know for a fact that people around here don't think twice about using someone elses telephone or pens or keyboard.
I have invested in Lysol disefecting wipes and wipe everything down in the mornings when I come in. I was thinking about putting up a sign that says Hands Off - immuno suppressed. Whould that be too cheesy??

Put up a sign that says:
CAUTION
INFECTIOUS DISEASE
ENTER AT OWN RISK!

After all you can take all these precautions, live in a bubble etc, walk out the door and have some moron sneeze their germs all over you.

I'm just 2 months post-transplant, still on a high dose of meds.  When I'm going to some public place that I know is crowded, I wear a mask.

And I'm glad I did.

Just six weeks post-transplant, I was shopping in a supermarket.  A female shopper standing next to me thought I was wearing a mask because I had some kind of contagious illness, and she said to me: 

"It's nice to see you wearing a mask so you won't spread your germs to others.  I wish I had worn mine.  I've been sick for five weeks!"

I said to her, "Good-bye!" and fled.

Good grief.  I saw a lady in the grochery store wearing a mask and she sounded like death warmed over...coughing and hacking.  I stayed away from her. It was nice that she actually took the time to wear a mask out in public. Most people wouldn't give a rats a$$ about infecting another person.
