Hepatitis C Do Not Be Affraid

Do not let Hepatitis C get you down! You need to get a good support system around you! You need your family and friends. You need to also reach out to a local suport group and if there isn't one in your area start one. That is what I did 6 years ago and we started with just two people but once the word got out we grew like crazy.

God is so good!!!

Well God is so very good. I was to the point after my last biopsy that I was ready to give up. They came in and took more then one sample from me and then I was told that I may only have a year to live if I do not follow what the doctors told me to do. By two different doctors. How they could tell that right then I have no idea. I think that they where meaning now that I think back to that day. Was that if I didn't follow my doctors orders I could die in a year or 10. I don't know I just know the way they said it had me crazy. Well here for a whole week I was scared to death that I was going to die in one year. Well I had everyone praying for me from east to west and north to south. And you know what people prayer does work. There was a message on my phone from my doctors nurse practitioner that she would discuss more with me on Tuesday when she got back in the office. Well things are okay she said in her message. But that there was more and she would talk to me in person about that. I do know that 3 1/2  years ago my last doctor, who was a goof if you ask me. He did the Liver biopsy way different then they do them down in Indianapolis at Indiana University Hospital. My old doctor did the biopsy on the side and never used a ultrasound machine like they do at IU. And last one 3 years ago he hit a nerve when he went in to my side that almost sent me flying off the table. Both times he never used a ultrasound machine and like I said the last one hitting the nerve and a few other things got me going to a better doctor and one who specializes in not only gastroenterology  but one who also specializes in Hepatitis C. Anyway I am so not knowing how to feel. At the day of the biopsy I was giving up on life and now after hearing her message. WOW I am obviously very very happy. But still numb. I am exited to hear what she has to say on Tuesday. So everyone still keep on praying. Please! Thank you so very much.

Well as for everything else. I am trying my best to enjoy the summer with my children. We have been camping a few times and we go swimming at the different lakes we have around here. I bought me this big ole yellow boat( You have to use a pump to blow it up) but it will fit two kids teens ext. But it fits me just fine. I blow that baby up and get in it have my kids push me to the rope that they have to block off for the kids, they push me way out to the farthest rope so I am out of the way of everyone swimming and such. I tie my boat to the rope and lay back and almost fall asleep. But I am there with my kids so falling asleep in out of the question. But it is very relaxing. I also have a big blow up chair that has a big back to it with a drink holder and harm rest that I use when my friends go with me and we tie to the rope and tie them to each other and kick back and catch up on whats happening. We have been doing some new decorating to the inside of the house to. Like painting my bedroom, getting a new china cabinet for the kitchen from a friend and working on getting my grandma's china out. I have been doing a few other things to. Working on painting the living room and hall before the fall gets here. I have lived here in my house for ten years so it is time to do some painting big time you could say. I have a big picture wall that has 62 pictures on it. All my life my family has had picture walls. Most of them running down a long hallway. But anyway I need to rearrange them. I have each year of my girls school pictures and much more. I have friends who tell me to cover the last year school picture. But not me I want to be able to be able to look at them all. Anyway there is some more stuff to do to the house.

Well my daughter with the Hepatitis C is doing great. She is now over a year non-detected. And feeling great. So I am very happy. I want to find a cure for her. So bad. But until then I will be reaching out to the community to keep bringing awareness.
I will close for now. I love ya aall and pray for each one of you. God bless!!!
