__September 18, 2011 was the first anniversary of Sheila's bilateral hand transplant.  She drove to Pittsburgh for her checkup at UPMC.  It's amazing how time goes.  The surgery has been a real blessing for her.  She works hard at her occupational therapy and we all marvel at her progress.

Here is a recent report from CBS Pittsburgh following Sheila's checkup at UPMC for the first anniversary of her bilateral hand transplant:

Sheila has taken up painting (acrylic) and has done several pieces.  I love her latest one, Fluidity.  From afar, it looks like an abstract piece but on closer look, you can see a face surrounded by long curly hair.  That the painting was done only in two colors makes it all the more interesting.
