I was well into my 2nd year post Tx before I could drink even a fizzy soda and pepper and hot stuff came last but now there isn't anything, including the hottest hot sauce that I can't eat.

As we all know, each of us can come out vastly different undergoing the same Tx but 11 months is way too soon to determine where your recovery will leave you.

Come back this time next year and I bet you will be singing a different tune.
