Ever get to the point that you just don't want to talk about it? I mean whats the point.
I was feeling good for a bunch of days there, but lo and behold I feel like shit again.
Right about now I want to hit the wall.....or sit on the floor and cry....but it will do me no good. I won't feel any better and the nurse won't call with a start date. And by the way if she does call....it probably isn't going to be the date that I had hoped for. Calling her? Well there's a scary thought isn't it? Yeah I'd call her but Jimmy will be away from Sat. through Tuesday night and I do not want her to say come in on Monday or Tuesday. I don't want to go it alone. (my fault...sending him to Denver is my valentine present to him and he very much needs a break away from reality (Bar stress and me stress). Tickets are bought and where bought when we thought I'd be starting later or much earlier than the 4th and 5th)
Note to anyone looking at starting treatment: Don't make plans! Don't think and don't expect anything to happen when you think it will....You Will Be Disapointed!
No I'm not sitting here crying in my beer....lol....I can't have a beer.
And no I don't need a slap in the face to snap me out of it....right about now I'd probably slap back.
What I need is to get this F'n thing over with!

Life and times of Dealing with a Dragon named Hep C
I found that Hep C has a nick name.
The Sleeping Dragon.
It's fitting.... Strange thing is that I've always loved Dragons.
I guess I never could have imagined that I'd have one of my own.
About Me
- Laurie
- I'm a 42 year old Mother of 5. 3 of my own and 2 of my Husbands. My 3 are 13, 17 and 21. His are 22 and 26. We have 3 boys and 2 girls. In my life I've had 17 surgeries, a tatoo and a blood transfussion. So your guess is as good as mine as to where I contracted Hep C. I do not believe it was from the tat. The gentleman that did the art was very careful with sterile tools. But who knows. I was diagnosed with Hep C on March 22, 2007. Geno type 1b with a viral load of almost 5 million. And now I turn the corner and yet a new path lay ahead of me...... A new Journey begins

Even if she calls you and says 'come in Monday or Tuesday,' just say 'sorry, I can't make it then - is Thursday OK?' She sounds really nice and I'm sure she doesn't expect you to drop everything with a moment's notice and drive 2 hours for an appointment. If she doesn't call by Monday, call her.
They have a designated research day. Mine is Thursday. You will probably have to put the start date back a week if you change it. I know your frustration.
Laurie, I'm up to July now and should soon be up to date. I have numbers similar to yours and have to wait 4 weeks to see the GI to find what it all means. Your blog is the most tangible source I have found. Thank you. You have become one of my heroines. Tewtone
Iris - Thanks. I'm going to try to hold out until Tuesday...I know that after that Jimmy will be home and I won't worry as much about having to go there alone.
It's Saturday and I guess her not calling yet is for the better.
Terry - As long as Jimmy is home I won't mind which day it is. And given the choice I'd push it off a week if they would say the day is on Monday or Tuesday.
See...he's my strength. Sounds corny I know, but it's the truth.
Tewtone - Welcome to my Blog!! :)
You'll have to excuse this blog at times...lol...I tend to ramble.
Your compliment means so much to me. I've made so many very special friends since being diagnosed and starting this blog...I don't know how I could make it through any of this without them.
You and I have a long road to travel.
Let me know what your GI tells you.
And by the way, even though I didn't agree with it in the beginning, it is very important to make sure that your Doctor is a specialist with Hep C.
My GI actually seemed relieved when my husband brought up the idea of someone more specialized in Hep C. As he explained, a GI has to have his/her knowledge spread out over many areas. His knowledge is no where near the knowledge of a specialist.
I can't stress how important it is to have a Doctor who knows Hep C and is up to date on whats going on with the virus.
Always know that I am here if you need me. I'm an email away or a post away.
((Hugs))
Laurie
