Well, one of my friends wondered if my donor was a neat freak, given how I've been on a cleaning and decluttering tear lately, but I just think it's the energy I've got now that I didn't have before.

My taste buds have changed - sweet things are no longer as appealing, and I used to have a tremendous sweet tooth.  Given that changes in tastes have happened to friends of mine on prednisone for reasons that aren't transplant related, I'm inclined to think it's more to do with the powerful meds than any kind of cellular memory.
