DanL...
Congrats on your impending release!!!
I agree with you on the neutropenic diet, but I followed it strictly until D+100, and I'm still on a modified neutropenic diet... There is really no reason to risk getting a bacterial infection...
Also be careful once your released, it's still flu season, so make sure that either you or your visitors wear masks for quite a while... Remember to ask your visitors whether or not they have a cough, cold, runny nose or stomach issues... Also whether or not they've had live vaccines such as MMR and/or shingles shot (very common recently)...
I tried to limit visitors (even until today D+139) to the same close family and friends...
God Bless and all the best!!!
