05/03/2012 2 ½ years later and I’m finally getting back
to a normal life!
I went back to
school in January to take two classes, they are very hard (Calculus and
Accounting II), but I am actually doing very well! Originally, I wanted to go back to nursing
school to finish my bachelors in nursing, but nursing school is really intense
and I don’t think my body could handle being in the hospital with all of the
germs (being sick can spark an episode of rejection). So I just decided to start back to school
slowly (I honestly did not think I would even have the brain power to even take
these classes) and practice going back to school. It has been really good not only for my
brain, but also just to get back into a normal routine.
I haven’t had a
rejection in eight months and I feel my new-very strong medication is working
well to take care of those problems-I think that phase of my life is
OVER!!! I feel like for the most part
everything else is starting to normal out and I am beginning to see how my “new
normal” is going to be. Some things,
like staying up for longer during the day I think I will just get better
at/will be able to build up my stamina.
Two weeks until I
see my donor family!
