11 more to go and still kicking
------------------------------
A happy Saturday to every one,
Went to the hospital on Wednesday to get my supplies and blood tests etc, the results of last months tests were....Platelets remain the same at 103 and HG levels have gone up to 10.9.
and Iv'e got an appointment for Wed13 for a Liver scan, apparently these are done every 6 months, but this one is 3 months over due, at least its being kept an eye on. Strangly enough though I dont think Iv'e actually been told the extent of the damage to my Liver, when ever Iv'e asked the answer seems to be " you are cirrotic, and from the extent of the damage you have had hep c, along with what you have told us, since early to mid 70s", so 30 years of being eaten from the inside, another thing I was told was that due to the extent of the damage I would have to have a scan and check ups every 6 months for the rest of my life, to make sure my Liver wasn't worse and that I was now open to liver cancers, makes you think, does'nt it !
Went to the docs the other day to renew a script for sleepers, what a palarver that was,
she said she did'nt want to have to ween me off the things when my meds were compleat,
I had to convince her that I was taking half a tablet maybe twice a week just so I was getting at least some sleep, that the tx was now keeping me awake, and if I did'nt sleep at night I could'nt function efficently at work, another effect of this of course is if I can't sleep then I keep Sue awake too, and a disgruntled wife is one to be avoided !!
Iv'e taken "leave owed"so I'me off work from now untill mon 11th, Sues off too, so we plan some shopping trips, lunches out with friends, Visit the Farmers market in Lichfield and go to Long Clawson ( the home of Stilton) to get a cheese for christmas.
11 more injections to go, and things are still good, no real bad side effects any more, unless you want to count sleeplessness and the desire to scratch myself untill I bleed(which also keeps Sue awake) so all's good and I can't complain, got a week off work then back for 2 weeks and off for 2 weeks for crimbo, can't be bad !
Take it easy folks and keep smiling
My track to leave you with today, because were all getting there, is Muddy Waters" Got my mojo working"
