NEW FROM MARY!!!

HELLO EVERYONE THIS IS MARY!!!! I AM DOING VERY WELL. TODAY THEY STARTED TEACHING ME HOW TO TAKE MY NEW MEDS, THIS WAS ALL QUITE EMOTIONAL, AND STRESSFUL FOR ME. I WAS SCARED AT FIRST ABOUT FORGETTING HOW TO TAKE THEM. BUT JASMINE SAVED THE DAY!!! LOL!! SHE SAT DOWN AND WENT OVER AND OVER AND OVER MY MEDS WITH ME TONIGHT. AND YAY!!! I FINALLY GOT IT.
THE DOCTORS SAID THAT I HAVE FAST TRACKED EVERY EXPECTATION THAT THEY HAVE HAD FOR ANY LIVER TRANSPLANT PATIENT. THE PT CAME TODAY TO WALK ME AND SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I HAD HAD A LIVER TRANSPLANT, SHE SAID THAT EVERY PATIENT SHE HAS WORKED WITH HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY SWOLLEN, AND I WAS THE FIRST ONE SHE HAS HAD THAT HAD NO SWELLING. SHE WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK!!!!SHE WALKED ME UP SOME STAIRS WHICH WASN'T THAT BAD, AND BACK TO MY ROOM. SHE SAID THAT THAT WAS ALL THE PT THAT I WOULD NEED, BC I WAS SUCH SHAPE.
I HAVE ONLY HAD A LITTLE ITCHING WHICH WAS CAUSED FROM THE MEDS. I AM REALLY RELIEVED! NO MORE ITCHING!!!!!!!! THE DOCTOR SAID THIS MORNING THAT HE THINKS I CAN COME HOME ON WEDNESDAY. THAT I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS, CARDS, MONEY, FOOD, AND FRIENDSHIP. YOU ALL MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. LOVE YOU ALL, MARY
