71 Down, 1 to Go.

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Thats one interferon jab left to go [this coming Friday] and then 7 more days of the ribavirin, although nurse said usually you stop the riba on the last jab. I like to play safe so will do the “extra” seven days.
Oh did I say one more jab :)
Everything is just fine although as the […]

“This is the wrong place to get tired, George”

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Lets get a couple of apologies out of the way first.
Firstly to everybody in the north of my home town a few weeks ago. While I have no doubt that somebody needed teaching some manners, in retrospect blocking off both lanes of a busy road at rush hour whist I proceeded to do so and […]

Just 15 Injections Left and I’m Drunk….

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

… as a Skunk.
Fitter, faster, stronger and tireder is the continuing theme :)
Not a great week last week but not really down to the hep c, both kids were ill and to be honest that stresses me more than words can say. For me at least the health and well-being of my family is my […]

The Interferon and Ribavirin Treatment Road Trip - Week 55 …

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

… the continuing story of how one so gentle, so kind and indeed so pretty can be this strong.
Fitter, faster, stronger is the current vibe and its working out well, I can’t remember the last time I felt as good as this. The tiredness is still just this side of overwhelming and to a large […]

Week 54 [almost] and Somebody….

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

…has been a very busy boy.
I can tell you this, hitting 48 weeks of treatment sucks. You think you have done a year but of course its just 11 months, “making up” those extra 4 weeks really drags, its like a waste of 4 weeks.
Apart from that I have been just great! Putting the tiredness […]

Bullseye -Week 50

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Not my best week, worst for a while if truth be told but then, like an Angel sent to bless me from heaven above, it turns out today [Monday] is a Public Holiday! I needed that, a great lazy long weekend that has hopefully set me up for the next few weeks.
Got another PCR test […]

Hepatitis C Treatment - 47 Weeks and Counting

Friday, August 4th, 2006

no news is good news and I have no news :)
Everything is just fine, feeling well if very tired and don’t expect this to change much. I have just one injection left to hit the 48 week mark and from there its just a gentle coast downhill for another 24 weeks until treatment end. […]

Week 42 and My Wife Has Left Me…..

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

…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 […]

Hep C Treatment - Week 41

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

My how time flies…..
Things have been very good of late, been feeling pretty good and working hard. I’m most pleased about the working hard, I’m not happy when I’m not, some old fashioned work ethic thing or as I like to think of it a sense of duty. The pattern of late seems […]

Bump and grind - Weeks 34 and 35

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

I’ve not been at my best the last couple of weeks. Really haven’t felt well at all, like an extra layer of sickness that sat on top of the treatment and has made me very very tired. It seems it may have been a viral infection, both the kids had it and the GP […]
