An Anniversary of Life Given - An Update of My Incredible Past Year !!!

Back in September, "Advisor" gave me the opportunity to tell you all of my Liver Transplant and ask you all to consider being a donor.   Well, today is my thirteen (13) month anniversary of my life giving transplant, so I thought I'd give you an update on my experiences ... 
 
When I came home from Hospital, I was fitted with a semi-permanent IV, thru which my wife was able to give me daily anti-biotics for three (3) months to compliment the plethora medications which were to give me body every chance of accepting my donor's Liver.  I gave blood tests every two (2) weeks at our local hospital so the good folks @ UPENN could monitor how my body and it's new member were getting along.
 
Today I am elated to report that I have been removed from two (2) of the three (3) original medications associated with anti-rejection, and the third has been reduced by 40% !!!   I am on track to try and eliminate the last on in the next few months ...
 
As I never experienced any rejection issues, and everyone @ UPENN is cautiously optimistic about my totally being off of the anti-rejection drugs, I have volunteered to be part of a research study, which I hope will provide valuable information for the treatment of future patients.  Being naturally analytical, I have to admit looking forward to participating in the study and being "debriefed" about the many changes I have noticed in my body since the transplant ...
 
As part of the one (1) year anniversary, we had the opportunity to meet my surgeon and other key members of his transplant/surgical team.   These are the true "unsung heroes" of our society.   People who do what they do, without fame, fan-fare, or even lofty titles, but in whose eyes I saw a warmth, depth, and now, the gaety of seeing me there to thank them.  There is a special place in Heaven for these people !!!
 
Id like to thank you all for your support, kind words of encouragement, and especially if you agreed to become an organ donor, because in doing so, you may very well have the opportunity to return a guy like me, who might have passed with way too much yet to achieve, to his family, friends, and a community like we have here @ Appliance Advisor !!!
 
So, for all intent and purpose, since I am as recovered as recovered can be, and now looking to getting back to being a gainfully employed member of our industry, if you don;t think it too "cheeky" of me, I'll simply ask you to keep me in mind should you know of anyone able to use my experience and talents, OK ???
