January 1, 2009 and all I can say is whoohoooo. For those who "know" me, that's a pretty common statement and for those that don't know me on a personal level, I have a tendency to toss out a whoohooo because I like the sound of it.
I learned so much in 2008 that I wonder if I have enough "good" brain cells to keep up the pace in 2009. Bet I figure out a way even if I have to shake and wake up the dormant grey matter in my brain.
Some of my learning surprises for 2009 is that "they" remove your gall bladder during a liver transplant. Did I know that one? NOPE. Next thing I learned is that you should follow a low fat diet after transplant. Did I know that one either? NOPE. Now for the last tidbit of transplant trivia...they do NOT reconnect the nerve endings to the new liver when you are transplanted. So, if you have "liver pain", it's not your liver that is the source of your discomfort.
Now, here is a bit of information that isn't related to transplant or liver problems or anything other than being something I found interesting. Did you know that you can develop an allergy to tattoo dye, even after several years of having received the tattoo? Me either...totally missed out on that bit of information.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
Keep your spirits high...robin
