How Melissa Got Her Groove Back (Continued)

This picture is when I started getting sick from the medication, and was sick for about 6 weeks -enough said about that

Brian and I, 2 weeks post transplant

Uncle Rickey and I, two weeks post-transplant.

This is the day I came home. Our "son" Simon was so happy to see me; he would not get off my lap, my mom had to take him off. I was allowed to keep him because we had already had him for a long time and I was "used" to him. We had him bathed before I came home and he is not allowed to go outside anymore. I NEVER change the kitty litter box, or even take out the trash when there is kitty litter in there.

Jerry and I met to celebrate at dinner, six weeks post transplant. This was the first time I had done my hair and put make-up on in about five months

This is Rickey and I 21 months post transplant.
