You can hold on to that compliment and I'll hold on to mine. I have such a hard time carrying on a face to face conversation, articulate would be the last word I would use to describe me. BTW... Spelling has always been one of my major short comings. This computer has auto spell check every time I type... and the little squiggly red line drives me nuts... so I have to fix it.

.Between getting the dent in my brain and short term memory loss from the accident that broke my back and then treatment - if I was ever good at memory it's long gone now.  Somedays my boss looks at me and says "Deb I just said this ten seconds ago how could you already forget?".....

If I could only borrow a couple of Trin's memory brain cells I'd be doing 100% better.

And yes diane you might have a few duh moments but you are posting really great for someone so far along in treatment.  :)

Trin has the memory an elephant not counting remembering to just look at a profile.  Spell check is my best friend sometimes  LOL

Hahaha, I must say I do remember things well, not always but most of the time.  Oddly the tx drug did not effect my memory either. Job requires great attention to detail and  I have to remember for two people at home so I've honed my memory skills over the years.

You articulate and spell very well in your posts.  I leave out complete words and my spelling isn't so good but when I re-read my posts I swear it looks perfect!!

Wow! After getting through these 48 weeks you can bet that there is no way I'd allow anybody around my house who could re-infect me.
How do you keep track of all of these posts? You must have the best memory in the world.

Do you mean that you went through treatment before, got cured and then got reinfected? Or did you have a relapse?

Whatever happened, you need to find a good hepatologist and do what he tells you. Medicaid will pay for it.
