Welcome To My "HEP C" Life

Hepatitis C is a blood disease that affects the liver. There is a tx that I am now on which is a mixture of "interferon" injections 1x a week and 1200mg in pill form of "Ribavirin" dailly. This is an extreme and rigorous 48 week treatment and I have started september 22nd 2006

Tomorrow morning at 10:15 am, is my first follow up visit with my Hep C doctor to see how the medication is working out for me. I hope I'm doing some productive Virus Killing. I'm kind of anxious to find out.


Tired with distorted thoughts, My mind is in a fog. I walk like a zombie, One foot slowly moves in front of the other. I shuffle through this day like an old man in worn down slippers. I manage to stay manageable. I keep perseverance in my soul. I stay in the path of today. I do not walk any farther, but I do not stagnate. I flow and move. I develop and I become. My body wants to scream out in chills, but I wear a sweater over my soul. I put a plug in the jug that held the whispers of my headaches. I will not sip from that well today. I do not feel great, but I will not let myself feel like crap. This is my day. This is my one day at a time. And I am okay with this, because I accept what has fallen in my lap.
