kayla threaded a needle!

I think this news should be front page of the New York Times!

I threaded a needle! hurray! this is after months of shaking so bad i could hardly get food to my mouth with a spoon!

I'm having so many positive experiences like this that i'm too busy living them to write about them! I successfully negotiated chopsticks, I made a dinner almost completely by myself (someone drained the boiling noodles). I learned how to use the sewing machine i bought about a year ago but was too intimidated to use. (i still have to learn all it's nifty tricks but i got the basics going).

All this indicates to me that my brain is repairing: the increased physical coordination (not shaking and having control over my grip etc); metal concentration (a big part of making dinner for me is not burning down the house cuz i forgot what i was doing); learning new things (which involves memory, focus, logic and such) are all areas that were affected by the transplant preparation and immunosuppressants. I wonder if i can get a new brain scan to check for repair of those areas....

I'm so busy getting ready for Open Studio next weekend. i've posted some info on the "art" page on this site and you can see my works at my new website daydreamingarts.net but you should see these new images handing huge in my living room!

peace,
kayla
