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.

hepFest and update story!

Hello Everyone,
     I am so sorry that I do not get to update this on a regular basis!!! But I am trying!! I promise!!! If it is not one more diagnoses I had my 2nd stroke in 4 years on February 24. I am bouncing back as best I can. I still only have 60% of my body back but I am fighting. Just like I fight Hepatitis C everyday! I passed my 10 mark that my first Liver doctor gave me last week and I have fought to beat that mark. I know darn good and well I refuse to let a Stroke get me down!!! I am really trying so hard! So all the prayers you can send this way would be nice. I am also getting things done for the HepFest this year. I am having to hire a helper. I just can't do this. Just 6 weeks post Stroke. If anyone is interested????? Please call me or email me. I have home physical therapy and a home nurse. They are getting me a power chair so that I can take walks with the girls. Walk to my mail box, cook with my kids at their level. Instead of feeling like I am sitting on the floor. It will bring some good back to my life. Thank goodness. I have to stay strong for these girls I have to raise that are still at home, and my children who are grown men and one of them is blessing me to be a grandma, and the other is follow a dream that he may feel, in his heart is the right way to go!!! I pray for both of them every night, and all you people reading this. And to those Heppers who may be a family member or a friend reading this. I pray and ask that you share this with a family member or friend. Who is going through the life of Hepatitis C. It put's you in shock at first then you go through the stage of " WHY ME" Then it is WHAT IS IT? And from then on you just suck it up, put your big boy or big girl pants on!!! Know Hepatitis C does not and I mean does not!!! Make who you are!!!! The person your spirit and heart is: is who make's you as a person. Not some stupid disease. I am really trying to be the best person I can be. So hopefully one day my illness with slow down and allow me to get out of my room let alone my house. I need those of you out there reading this to please pray that I get the right amount of help for this years HepFest so it will not kill me. But it must go on!!!!!!!!!
I will keep you updated. I love you all bunches!!!!!!!!!!!  The event is
