I'll start this out with something good-
MY PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IS GONE!!
Yes, you read that right!! I really noticed it at Disneyland back at the beginning of May. That's when it was so obvious because that was a huge test of my abilities. I walked all over the place from park to hotel to restaurants and I simply OWNED that place. Nonstop walking. Yeah my joints hurt and all that but so did all the other "normal" people in the group. Disneyland can kill anyone but I....I made it. *tear* I haven't not been in a wheelchair or something like that at Disneyland in....well too long. It was so wonderful!
Now to the bad part and I want input on this if anyone else has experienced it: my memory has totally gone to hell. I'm taking Aricept for it which is supposed to work amazingly for Alzheimers. So far, no improvement and I've been taking it for months. It's bringing down my school work and everything and I'm usually an A student so it's been kinda depressing. I had a hybrid class this semester so part of it was in class and the other part was online. I missed three major tests in that class because my brain doesn't remind me to go to the website and do it. So frustrating! Anyway, blah I'll expand on that later.
I got a new tattoo on my left thigh and I don't think I've talked about it on here. Marty- I've been dying to show you this one:
Also, I got the back of my neck pierced but that came out after a month. I got bored with it. :( I still thought it was super cool though but it takes a lot more maitenence than a tattoo so I felt like it was a little more risky if I started slacking heh.
So yeah, all in all I am doing VERY well but still manage to have my ups and downs just like any person transplant or not. I'm actually beginning my autobiograpy (finally) about my experience with the transplant. It's really hard to figure out how I should write it though so I'm working on it. More updates soon (since school is almost out...yay!).
