Epilogue

On August 11, 2007 it will be 9 years I have had this great working kidney. I take eight medication a day so this kidney last as long as possible: one Bacterium, one Prednisone, 1 Lipitor, one Calcium supplement, one baby aspirin and one Cartizem once a day and 2 prograph, and tree Cellcept twice a day. I learned long ago to take it all in one swallow.
I did not gain nearly as much weight after this transplant as I did my first so I was able to loose the weight within a year. I had a very large bloated moon face when I went back to Kent State Trumbull Campus and I was still a bit bloated when I started my first semester at Kent State Main Campus. But that did not last long with all the walking and going to the gym before class sometimes.
The last class I took at Kent Trumbull was Canterbury Tales. The text was written in old English and part of the class was translating each story. Once translated the story were pretty funny and slightly dirty. I only took the one class to jump back into the groove because my mind was still a little fuzzy from the high doses of anti-rejection medications. But I really didn’t want to take a half a year off school. I ended up with a solid “B”.
When I went to the main campus it was a whole new world. It was the first time I would be living on my own. I was really looking forward to my new found independence. Next to Junior High this was the funniest time in my life once things got rolling.
It wasn’t long before I knew where everything I needed was around town and how to get there. I met some really inspiring friends. I took one literature class from Dr. Nelson who encouraged me to write leading me in the direction to writing this book.
I lived out a childhood fantasy by working for MTV as a Local stringer. I reviewed and wrote articles for MTV Online about Kent’s music and entertainment scene. I also covered Cleveland and Akron. But all that is a whole new book waiting to be written.
