July update from Alyssa

I had my follow up appointment last week and everything is still going good! I only have to go for labs every other week which is awesome! Unless anything comes up or I start to not feel well, I won’t have to return to Pittsburgh until the end of September!
I still plan on returning to WVU in the fall and am super excited to get back into the swing of things! I know my parents are a little nervous for me to return as well, but I have a sense of relief knowing Ruby Memorial Hospital is right there and has the team that first diagnosed me with Wilson’s and that I’m closer to Pittsburgh being in Morgantown than I am here in Charles Town.
I was able to FINALLY get a haircut this past week as well and I was also able to return to work! I’m excited to be back and working at Mountaineer Popcorn until I leave for school.
*** We have our COTA benefit breakfast this Saturday from 7 am – 10 am!! I plan on attending and hope to see you there!***
