When my bloodcounts were low, I wasn't supposed to do much of anything. This was for multiple reasons, mainly my risks of not clotting (platelets) and getting a cold or infection (white blood cells) were significantly higher.

I did ride my recumbent tricycle a few times when my counts were up. I was warned not to ride my tricycle, but I feel the paved trail I usually ride it on is relatively safe.

I also was visited by my Aunt Mildred and Uncle Jim from Pittsburgh. They stayed at a nearby hotel June 19th through the 27th, so I feel their "germ" impact was substantially less. We did eat out a lot, but my counts were on the rise.
