Since tx has ended I have had some problems here and there and even though I am a little more then a year completing tx I noticed some problems have become more pronounced then before. I haven't really thought about them or even looked back in what else could have been done in order to have avoided all of this--I figured it's my new life and I am strong enough to deal with it. Now, a couple of more issues popped up and I just have to pray and hope and believe that I am in good hands. Wow--how I miss just the regular after tx issues--I hate new stuff...After-all, I am a creature of habit.
