My church small group is meeting in-person this week. They are going to meet outdoors at Tustin Marketplace and getting take-out food. The last time we did this, I got Panda Express. Chinese food is always an option.
When I was discharged from the hospital, they said to stay away from group of people. However, that was when I was on the initial dose of anti-rejection medications. Those meds have been greatly reduced since then, and my white blood cell count is in the normal range, though I am not 100% sure what that means. I sent a message to UCLA asking them if and when I can meet non-family members, but they decided to punt the discussion to the next appointment. Since that is next Monday, I guess I am staying home this week. I also asked them about food restrictions and whether I can return to work earlier.
Looking at Google Timeline, for February 2021, there are only five dots on the map: home, sister’s house, UCLA (Medical Plaza and Tiverton House), Albertsons, and Chase Bank (to deposit those insurance checks). For March so far, the list is: home, sister’s house, UCLA (Medical Plaza and Tiverton House), UCLA Lab (Laguna Hills), and Albertsons. Pretty depressing.
