Thank you everybody

Hiya Chevygal and the rest of you lovely lot - well - guess I am a fully fledged 'member of the club' now - pumped full of interferon and ribavirin!!!
Thank you Chevygal for your good wishes and encouragement on the 18th - your posting meant a great deal to me. I hope you are doing well and not having too many side effects. I didn't pass out you will be glad to know - felt very faint just after I injected - NOTHING to do with the interferon - all down to me being a nervous wreck - I got myself in such a state!!! Hope everybody is having a good weekend.

Hello there - thank you for your kind comments. PLEASE PLEASE don't worry about the biopsy - I was absolutely TERRIFIED -the rest of the gang on here will tell you what a little worrywart I am - but it was nothing - HONESTLY. If I could have it done for you I would!!  I felt as if I had been slightly winded when she took the biosy and that was it .....OVER!!! Finished!!!!  The worst part was having to lie on my back for what seemed like an eternity cos I wanted to go to the loo for a pee and they wouldn't let me!!!! Have you ever tried to pee layin down on a bedpan - I ask you - SOooooo undignified!!!! Keep in touch and post regularly!!! Lots of love Sue

[happyhepper]

Hiya 'big sis' - how's my favourite hepper today??  I am sorry any of us have this horrible disease - but hell girl - we could have been diagnosed with a brain tumour or something - guess we just have to keep on and know that there are worse things.....Lots of love    ((((BIG BIG HUGS))))  Sue   Your daft catastrophic thinking hairy whale fly little sis!!!

[happyhepper]

Hey thanks for wanting to take that BX for me.. You got a big HEART !! But what I will do is call yah so you can PEEE for me. Boy I knew the part about laying down, never thought about the PEE part. I will be thinking of you when am PEEING. Take care

[Indiana]

See?? The anticipation is almost ALWAYS much worse than the reality with this stuff. You have to wait for a few days to see what may happen....but I can guarantee that you will NOT turn into a Badger or Alien or anything like that.
The LOO??  WOW   I haven't heard that term for awhile. Why do some call it that anyways? It that short for something? I must do research on this.
So you had to pee in a bedpan? Better that than a cathader. Those are NOT fun....especially for Guys!! We do NOT like those things. Ruins our whole sex life for weeks......unless the Nurse is a hottie.
Welcome to the "Club". I hope that you do well. Keep us posted. This place is open for business....24/7.

[happyhepper]

LOL - Wouldn't mind turning into a badger - now an alien - thats a different story!!!
Can't say I feel too bad at the moment - we darent say that dare we incase the sides hear us and descend on us!! Thanks for taking the time to post - catheters??!! Ugh - gues I was lucky to get the bedpan........ouch.....fetches tears to the eyes just thinking about it!

[happyhepper]

Sorry - should I have said john???!!! Where does loo come from??? Hmm - you got me thinking now.........I must be bored - I'm off to bed!!

French l'eau, water; the bordalou, a portable commode, resembling a sauce-boat and carried by 18C ladies in their muff; SE leeward, the side of a ship turned away from the wind and as such the side over which one would urinate/defecate; an abbr./pun on Waterloo, whether the station or the battle it commemorates.
They also sayed the british use the word mostly.

[Indiana]

Ok......I get the don't pee into the wind part. But carried by ladies in their "muff"???? What the heck is THAT? I am SO glad I am NOT a lady right now. I used to call myself a "muff diver" but I think that now I may have to re-think that statement. Sounds kinda dangerous after reading this post.
I think Chevy needs to clear this up for me.

[litecloud]

YOU SILLY MAN..NOT THAT MUFF !!! THe muff that they put their hands to warm them up..Boy am not helping much...CHEVY YOUR TURN

[happyhepper]

Yup - I am British - what the heck have I started - I'm off to the 'loo' again!!! What the hell do they put in this tx - I can't stay off the nearest tree!!!

[litecloud]

That is the funnys thing, I never laughed so loud and that not very loud since I have Laryngitis..All I can say better a tree then me.

Hello again: My computer was kaput for a few days there. Just did shot #2 on Friday. Tired a lot, but work is going pretty well. Here's hoping that everyone is kicking some serious dragon butt!!!

My white blood cells went from @10 to below 5...Is this bad?


TIA

Pete

[LuckyHaskins]

Thanks, Chevy! I get another blood test tomorrow, so, we'll see if its stable. Feeling nauseous today, but not bad enough to actually puke. So, that's good! I always can't wait to finish work so I can go home and veg. Eating a lot less, too. However, things are bearable....I hope everyone is feeling at least that good!

Pete

[Honey15637]
