Red Shoes for Valentines Day

  You can now officially add me to the Triple Tx SVR list!  All my labs are back to normal, with my HGB a walloping 14.2 (6 months ago they were at 8.8 eot) and my platelets are finally back in the normal range, I am breathing an enormous sigh of relief.
   A large part of this Tx stress, is the waiting game. So many people have no idea what we have to go thru. of course I want to thank all of you for being on here, to help all of us, on a daily, and even hourly  basis.
  My legs still feel a bit weak, when I go to stand up from a low chair, and I am still a bit rippley (flabby) looking, but Rome wasn't built in a day.  I am jogging, and have great endurance, and plan on doing cycling and swimming, things are bound to shape up with hard work.
    Good luck to everyone in Treatment. For those who dont know me, I did 28 weeks, with Boceprevir~
I also just wrote an article about my Triple Tx, and I will continue to educate the public about Hep C~   Katy

   Yes, I think, way back when, I had heard that about Keith Richards, who's music I love.  I remember back in "the day" when I still used drugs and I'd been up all night, and friend of mine came over, and told me I resembled Keith~roflmao.

Wow that would have been a compliment to me,don't know you at all but as far as rock stars go I would say you have looked like Stevie Nicks more then Keith Richards.

  Thanks PJ~  I waited until my platelets were back to normal (they had been lower than normal before my Tx, not good)  and then I did have a glass of wine, but it tasted way too strong, so I only drank half. I was afraid of becoming more dehydrated, since I'm already a huge coffee drinker.
    My husband and a couple of my friends still have Hep C, so I do want to be kind of a role model type of friend. I was afraid my Hubs would smell the alcohol on my breathe, and then go out and drink himself.  Then, the fact that I was hiding it kind of killed the whole celebratory feel of it, haha.
    I am still fantasizing about browsing the dark beer section of the store though, something chocolatey, with froth.  I also celebrated with a "Dutch Cocoa BlueBerry Mocha" coffee at Peets Coffee, lol
   Last night I took the kids out to Sizzler for the "Sweet-heart Special" which was lobster-tail and steak, and it came with a red-velvet cake with a whipped cream top....yeah, I celebrated!!
