The difficulty of treatment

When I was 18 and suffering from the typical problems of that age, I would, during the darkest moments, lie on the floor near the stereo, smoke a joint and listen to some good music.  I would look up and dream that someday I would have the answer; I would have a wife, family, house and a career.  I thought for sure I would have that by the time I was 25.

When I was 25 and life was still uncertain, I thought I would surely have the answer by the time I was 40.  Now I am over 65 and life is still uncertain.

My wife and I sold our house and planned to move on to our sailboat for two years and not have a worry in the world.  Instead, Telapravir came along and my doctor convinced me that I might not have two years of good health.  So, here we are renting an apartment and I am in Prove 3.  

I am lying on the couch having taken a mind altering drug and listening to good music.  The mind altering drug is interferon and the result of the alteration is a dark experience

Thank you all for your support.

Forseegood:  I don't know the length of the treatment.  Prove 3 has 2 arms that are 24 weeks and 2 that are 48 weeks.  We don't find out until week 24 which we are on.
