As someone who will probably need a heart transplant eventually... How do you cope with being chronically immunocompromised in a post-covid world?

I've got a bicuspid aortic valve & aneurysm too. The surgery and recovery absolutely terrifies me. Is it as awful as it seems?

We've had bioprosthetic valves for a long time, too! It's a big jump though, because those valves are processed down to what is essentially just their scaffolding to prevent your immune system from rejecting them.

This might be a tough one, but I have a friend on the autism spectrum who thinks they’re unemployable because of the obvious difficulties with social situations.

They’re convinced that they will never pass an interview (and have tried and failed many times.)

It’s hard to watch them feel so hopeless and it’s lead them to be in pretty dark place.

Any advice?
