I try to do a little at a time and not get stressed. I’m cooking but making things that are easy. It’s my husband’s birthday so birthday cake for dessert .Some times I wish family understood just because you look ok doesn’t mean you are the same as you once were 💛🌻

Jo6 I feel the same as you. Everytime I go out, it seems I end up being sick. I have been reading your comments and think exactly like you. I feel for you deciding on being alone for christmas. We all do whats best, take care and merry christmas.

Being immunocompromised can be very isolating. Take good care of yourself. I hope that you feel better soon.

My family understands I don’t have the energy or financial resources to do Christmas the same way we’ve done in the past. It’s will still be merry and bright, just a little smaller and quieter.

Becca, I agree it is sometimes hard for people to understand you can’t do all you used to do even though you may look ok. I’ve become pretty upfront about what I can and can’t do and why and people have become more understanding over time.
This Thanksgiving, we’re exchanging food with my sister and brother-in-law, which makes things easier for everyone. Unfortunately, I can’t attend a family dinner at this point because of neutropenia. Happy Thanksgiving!
