So now new blog new begining .......

The new Blog which I am excited about. I am going to interview Dr's , nurses, medical peeps . and give my 3 cents as well . I might change the name or not you all will know where to find me .



My last blood draw was last Friday and all is well nothing changed . The Meds worked and it was worth the 48 weeks of yuk. I still feel fatigued and so on but I feel so much better than I was while on the interferone . It takes time to build back up to what I was , so I am taking my time .



Blessed Be!

The lose of someone who changed my life..

There she is in the infamous poster. I had one, not only because she was strikingly beautiful . But she was what I thought I was supposed to be "a beautiful woman".
That's what I thought being gay was ..wanting to be the opposite gender. Nope I was just gay not transgendered . Either life is not what you want for yourself, but it comes with your spirit. We all have struggles , some excepted some not. She was a warrior for her life , as I am as we all are . Brightest Blessing Farrah this fight is over you can rest now.

We all know how that goes. Anyway I see my Primary Doctor on Friday , maybe there is an explanation? Until then smile and suck it up !

Brightest Blessings

Time heals all wounds

I am still feeling the after effects of the chemo on my liver. I, of course, figured that I would be able to jump right back on the bandwagon of life.......was I wrong. I still feel very exhausted when doing things.
I went to Gay Pride this past weekend, and then Newport the next day. After all that, I was down for 2 days, just tired and fluish. I have come to the conclusion that I have to take small steps to get myself back on track. Just walking the dog doesn't count ( he does, but the exercise doesn't).
Well now I am just taking my HIV meds, which would be like nothing normally, but I never had a great time dealing with those in the beginning, they made me very sick. So we shall see how this plays out. I have to start working out slowly. And now that I have gained all my weight back, I should eat better LOL.

Rehabilitation?

So it has been a few weeks now since I stopped the interferon and pegasis . I of course am the eternal optimist thinking I would instantly be me , active doing things making plans , meeting friends .Well my body proved me a fool , I suppose since being sick for so long it is normal not to zing it up right away .



So I guess its work out time and seriously folks its got to go slow . I spent a day in Newport with friends walking around and enjoying the beautiful sites . I was sore and extremely exhausted it took me 2 days to feel myself again . So moral of the story is after 48 weeks of battling this cancer , do not think its over once the last needle is injected. Eat , sleep and continue to work yourself up . Be well



Blessed be
