One week at a time
Thursday Night....................... Beautiful isn't it? I look to the sky in Prayer and I feel blessed.
Friday Tomorrow........................... Mmmmm
Its okay now, I look forward to Fridays. It used to scare the shit out of me. I used to cry before every injection and then wait for the onslaught. I do not feel that way any longer. I look at it as being one more week towards a cure. One more week that leads me towards the light at the end of the tunnel. One step closer to living a full healthy productive life.
I have more bloods done tomorrow (YAY) then back to the specialist next week for my monthly checkup. It will be the week after that, I am more anxious about. We find out after the 12 week mark if it is working and whats going on. We find out what the next 12 weeks will hold in store for me. It will either be stop its not going to work, continue for another 12 weeks or we pray for another 24 weeks full steam ahead its doing its job and now you have an 85% chance of a full cure.
I wasn't grateful yesterday I was sick in pain and have an abscess and ulcers in my mouth. I went to the dental hospital this morning and its something I have to put up with as my teeth are fine its another side effect.
I came home not being able to smile outwardly but on the inside I am doing a dance. I am grateful for the opportunity I am grateful for the side effects getting easier I am grateful for the chance to be well and live a long healthy life.
Fridays I will celebrate. They will no longer be a thorn in my side. They will be a celebration of nearing the end. So no more self wallowing (for now, no promises Hehe) Only positive thoughts and actions.
Peace and Health to all xxx
Edit- Note to self, when feeling unwell on injection day, follow directions don't think you remember. You cant rely on your memory. Don't try a new injection site. Do push air out of needle before starting to inject into new site. If you do remember pull out push air out and then don't re-inject in the same new spot.
Screwing the whole positive start to Fridays keep smiling and write a note, not to do the same thing next week.

You have such a good perpective on this....that light at the end of the tunnel...health and light. I so pray for that too. Your 12 week tests are around the corner. I will all be praying for GOOD news regarding how this treatment is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. I can't begin to imagine what you go through on a daily basis with this; there are so many awful side affects, but as you know, I concentrate on the end goal for you.
And, as always, I maintain that you are amazing and wonderful and beautiful.
Thinking of you and sending you love,
J
