Last shot

[Andiamo1]

I just took my last shot this morning.  When I put the needle in the sharp container and pressed the permanent seal - the sound of that click was music to my ears! Each time I treated, I felt as if some piece of me was permanently removed.  This time was the hardest for me; I don't know if it is age, Telaprevir or both.

I hope to spend some time in a quiet place, hiking and just relaxing for a week.  Then - who knows - it's time to get a life!

I'm relieved to see your post that today is your last shot.  And you've already done it!  March 17th....8 days and counting.  Here's to many wonderful tx-free SVR days ahead for you, Eric.  You have surely earned it.  

I look forward to your results...I swear...fireworks from Canada!!  :)

How wonderful to read your post....but this line amazed me
"it's time to get a life!"
Wow, you make my life look like I'm standing still. You sound so busy, I truly believe you must be operate in overdrive when I'm in neutral or parked.
You have a wonderful life to look forward to, hope the next 6 months will relieve you of any lingering doubt or worry about it....
Hugs,

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!
It's been a rough year but we are about to reap the benefits of being in this trial...
I'm getting excited and making plans again.
We did it Eric!!  I really believe we are on our way to SVR and our new lives...I can't wait!!

Eric,

Wow...!!! You did it. I admit about 15 weeks ago that you were going to find a reason to quit due to your eyes and other challenges but you didn't quit again. I'm selfish in hoping this is SVR for you as I feel strongly that if you SVR then I will too! 8 more to go for me but  that won't be too long. I would like to join you guys for a lunch sometime this summer and celebrate mutual sucesses... I would love to come to the east coast as I haven't been in sooo long.

Something else I noticed about you that I never picked up on before and that you followed a similar career path as I did as a VP of Software is the same as a CTO virtually. But we just sold the company and I've retired at 53. Wasn't my plan but the way it worked out nevertheless. Now I just need to learn to sail and live the good life :->

Anyway, take care enjoy life starting again and keep us posted on the 'come down' and transfer back to reality. Some say its tough others say its so nice. Hope yours is just right!

Take care brother,

Scotty

I guess I didn't realize this was your last shot today.. No wonder you did it before meeting for lunch.. Get it done and over with.. I always did mine late at night as I was going to bed.   Maybe thats why my sleep habits were so bad.   Anyway.. It was great meeting you and your wife today.   Its been a journey for sure.  And I pray that is your last journey down the dragon alley.  And that you slayed everyone of them this time.

It was nice to meet everyone today, and we will definately have to do it again.  I feel bad you were the only one treating and had to make the journey.  But at least it was all highway for you mostly anyway.  

Well I have to go finish up my laundry.    Have a restful remaining time of vacation and we all pray you are SVR forever.
