Good News Update

Well, it's been quite a while since I've written, but that's mostly because I am busy with all kinds of things. Here is what is going on:

1 - All of my neurological tests came back and nothing was found. What was believed to be a TIA that I had last February was probably Trans Global Amnesia (TGA). There is no cause and there is no cure, apparently it's just something that happens sometimes and may never happen again.

2 - My latest Bone Marrow Biopsy was June 9th and I'm still 100% donor. My next oncology appointment is June 30th and I am hoping that she will tell me that I won't have to have another biopsy for 6 months. All of my liver and kidney functions are fine. My B-12 levels, which were low, are now stable. I am taking one B-12 pill a day (250 mcg). It seems to have made a vast difference in my energy level.

3 - While I still have some minor problems with my stomach, if I'm vigilant about what I eat I can handle my IBS pretty well.

4 - I am up to date on all of my childhood immunizations.

5 - I just celebrated the two-year anniversary of my transplant. My brother is doing great as well and I hope to see him this summer.

6 - I am back in graduate school and am taking a memoir class. Guess what my memoir is about? You guessed it! My professor loves my work and says that I need to turn it into a book. I think I will - I am feeling incredibly inspired.

And, so, I guess you can tell that my life is pretty normal right now. I am having fun and enjoying myself. I am grateful for everyday and for the life that I have been given.

Stay tuned as I will post from time-to-time.
