Week 42 and My Wife Has Left Me…..
…but I managed to get a replacement in straight away.
She has gone to Portugal for a few days [yes that Portugal]. A little tip, don’t try and call anybody in Portugal when they have just knocked England out of the world cup.
I have a family friend round to help out a little which is nice as my eldest has some issues which means he needs 24/7 care and to be frank that combined with working full time and looking after the youngest is a little beyond me at this stage.
She is back next week, if of course she can stand the agony of being without my company for that long, unlikely I know but she will give it her best shot.
Apart from that all is good. While I don’t actally feel fit and strong I feel OK and more than capable of pushing on till next year. These last few weeks have been busier than usual at both work and home with a few “big” issues to address, mainly tax issues from the last financial year which is always both a massive pain and a huge time suck. At times like this I have to give a big thank you to a dear old friend of mine who hammered home the importance of getting your affairs in order before starting treatment. I did a decent job of that, haven’t even needed to see a bill or such like since starting treatment, don’t underestimate how important that is, it allows you to concentrate on treatment and gives you the brain power reserve to deal with any big issues should they arise.
So all in all not bad at all, I shall be shortly be returning to the hell that is deciding which senior school my 8 year old will be attending in 2 years. Thats my job though, thats what I do, make the big decisions on behalf of the family and most importantly must get them right every single time, there is no room for error.
So in celebration of that fact here is this weeks inspiration, with a sexist slant.
I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless. But not men.

Hep C Boy,
I tripped over your site doing some research for a paper on the Hep C epidemic in the states (comments and tone suggested you’re on the Big Island across the pond from the USA).
I’m positive for HCV, but am currently not in need of treatment, but I’m looking down the road and see it s a possibility at some point.
I’ll bee passing along your site as a resource in my paper, and likely visiting myself.
I wish you and yours the very best.

Hey HepC boy I am convinced there is something deeper in this virus…I am on the threshold of TX nd my wife has decided to up and go ,Switzerland mind and I know of quite a few this has happened to. We’re trying to keep it as friendly as possible not easy but worth a shot.

Virus fighter,keep on keeping the faith.
I keep trying to get my wife to go,but she wont have it !
I think she’s into hearing me moan and gripe all the time,she likes fluffing up my pillow and making me horliks
she even said “you know what I go through once a month now”when I was having a particularly verbose moan after my friday jab,she then said she didnt mean it…….wouldnt swop her though……yet!!!!

Hello from the Windy City, USA:
Diagnosed in April of 05, stayed in shock and more pressing (my son’s near fatal auto crash) matters have kept me from being able to address the Hep C.
Have a fully funded Peg/Cyc trail on the offing and the many (mainly I must say) negative entries I’ve seen on various sites makes me 70% against the Interf. Do you not show any of the after illnessess other seem to all share? Please help having a hard time with this decision. 20 yrs with hep is better than renal failure and getting daft.
Thanks,
Pam
