Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi Abijann, It is great to have those classes to learn everything you need to learn. There is a lot to learn! It's very overwhelming! After taking the classes over and over again, it gets into your head, and it's not so intimidating, and not so hard after all, once you know everything. I didn't have confidence that I knew my meds before I left the hospital, but the nurses said I had it down, and I would do fine. They were right. I did fine. Plus, my husband knew everything too since he went to the classes also and took notes. Plus, the post transplant coordinator is there at any time you have a question. No question is stupid. That makes things easier too. It is great how they support you with all the help. My friend, Lori, gave me the shot again last night, but next week, I will be giving it to myself with her help.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi , Thanks. Yeah, I process them with Photoshop. I still have a lot to learn. I need to calibrate my monitor because when I print pictures, they are darker than they look on the screen. I only have a laptop now and their screens aren't so good for working on photos.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks, Diane. It's a bit dark. I didn't realize how dark it was until I printed it. It doesn't look that dark on my laptop. I lightened it up, so I should repost it.
