I also started my Tx almost at the same time, July 11, 2006 to be exact. I am now 10 months post Tx and am totally back to pre Tx normal except a couple lingering side effects which continue to improve every month so tell Oscar he will endue this and he will return to normal so toughen up and before you both know it, it will be over.
