SVR.......DRAGON BBQ

I got my 6 month post-tx PCR results back yesterday.
UNDETECTABLE!!!!!!!!!
YEAH BABY!!
It's a Dragon Knuckle BBQ at my place this weekend. Bring the kids. We'll have dragon burgers,dragon dogs,dragon salad, and,of course, BBQ dragon knuckles. I'll even make up some Tofu Dragon for you vegetarians. The Gatroade will flow!
There will be games. Stab the needle on the Dragon,a Dragon Pinata, cow chip tossing, and cow tipping contests.
I may even invite "The Badger".

When the nurse told me the news I was so excited that I layed a BIG kiss on her. She's about 60 and I think she went into shock. My doc ran away sayin that I wasn't kissin HIM! The Boy Scouts and the high school band are all excited as they have all watched me go through this and appreciated how I still was involved in their activities even though my help was limited during tx. My cat actually moved so I know she's happy too.
I went out last night and tipped ALL them cows. It was a REALLY noisy night in the pasture last night. Hahahahahaha

As a FORMER type 1B my starting odds weren't all that great. Now they have gone up into the 90%+ range. Who says that type 1's can't do this?
At 6 months post-tx I'm feelin good, looking good(matter of opinion), livin large, and lookin forward to evjoying life now armed with my my new perspective and appreciation of it.
So, to all of you who are sittin on the fence moanin about being a type 1,.....wanta be free?....FOLLOW ME!!!!!!!!!!!

(can anyone tell I'm happy?)

Wow, this is wonderful news!!!!!

I was just diagnosed 7-24 and have an appt. to hear about genotype and viralload on Monday.  I have learned so much in the last 3 weeks!  (much of it from this forum) I really appreciate everyone here and the sharing in all of the ups and downs of living with and treating hepc.  I don't have any idea what's in store for me, but I sure am glad I found all of you to help with whatever it turns out to be.  I started AD on Thurs. and am already feeling better emotionally.  Does depression and hepc  go together?  I think I've been depressed (and didn't really recognize it as such) for several months.  caruu

Go 'head on, brother 1b! You're so far ahead of me you look like a tiny speck, but I'm following (in slow motion,though).
How about some barbecued dragon tail like I had at the Jazzfest in New Awlins long time ago?
