When is it safe?

[redhed87]

I had RAI (100mc) last Thursday and was released Saturday from the hospital.  When is it absolutely safe to be around the family full time?  Thanks....

Thanks- that means I can be sprung like Paris Hilton tomorrow!  LOL

hey! my doctor is having me stay in the hospital from monday to wednesday and then another four or five days when i get home. so i think you will be pretty safe after a week.

THey did tell me 3 to four days from when I got home- so basically a week total.  I just wanted to know if people actually isolate themselves longer or shorter.

I'm surprised you weren't given any guidelines.  I was in isolation at home for 48 hours.  I live by myself, so no kids to worry about.  I think most docs recommend around five days to avoid children and pregnant women.  I had some one dog sit for me for 4 days just to be safe...I didn't want a "hot" dog...get it?    I would call the center who did your RAI to make sure.
