Suzanne - 24 Jul 2004 21:25 GMT Hi all,
De-lurking to let all of you know that there are many who never post yet still get so much support from this ng. I read daily, and in a short few months I feel you are friends.
I'm gearing up for shot 5 of 24, and so far have minimal sides...well, my memeory is so shot that if I have 'em I quickly forget. I can't recognize my own mother's phone number, fer chrissake. I drop whatever is in my hand at least twice before I remember I am holding it. My semi-adult sons keep me from yelling by smiling and agreeing to do everything I ask, cause they know I'll just ask again in an hour or so. My husband tells me we haven't made love in sooo long...
On a more serious note, I now know the location of every bathroom within a 50 mile radius. My one gallon milk jug full of warm water is decorated with various obsenities urging me to drink, as it must be refilled by 4 pm so I can drink some more. Kids, dogs, husband all scatter when I run in the house. They know without a doubt I will knock them down if I have to pee. And, icing on the cake, they think all of this is funny. Even the damn dogs laugh at me.
Waiting for a little riba-rage to put them in their place.
You 48 weekers have my greatest admiration, and those at 60 weeks and beyond are unbelievable.
Kill the virus,
Suzanne

I'm glad I live on my own at the moment. No negotiating necessary for that bathroom.
>Waiting for a little riba-rage to put them in their place. Yep. Done that. Told a now ex-boss where to shove his job while on tx
>You 48 weekers have my greatest admiration, and those at 60 weeks and beyond >are unbelievable. I respect the 48ers too. I'm about to do 20 of 24. I started off well but, bit by bit, it's ground me down. Nothing major but lots of fatigue and a raging thirst. My mind has problems on this stuff too so I came fast out of the start blocks and I'll go over the finish line on my knees. You're only 15 weeks behind me. Keep posting and let us know how you're doing, won't you?

Of course, it's > never my fault that it's in the pantry or the laundry room... > Suzanne This situation will improve when you become too tired to wander around the pantry and the laundry room. One of your children or your hubby will bring the laptop to you in bed, hook up a phone line for it, and you'll forget to take it with you when you head for the bathroom or the fridge. <grin> Waterspider

Good to see you delurk... you'll find it's way more fun.
Your treatment sounds like it's going the way mine did, except without the kids (substitute equal number of good friends), dogs (substitute cats and fish), husband (substitute boyfriend/partner/ole man), mother's phone number (substitute my own freakin' phone number!) and dropping things twice a day (substitute dropping things half a dozen times a day, including full cups of tea in bed).
The riba-rage was sort of fun for me...

I've been a lurker on Usenet so long I remember being pissed when deja news became google. How long ago was that? I know the temperament of hundreds of people who haven't a clue I exist. Kinda weird, huh? Well, this disease is so hard to explain that posting here seems easy.
First response: "How did you get it?" Answer #1: Gee, I don't know. #2: Musta been that transfusion back in '82. #3: When I was a junkie, before I became a respectable citizen, blah, blah, blah, what, you don't like me anymore? #4: Paris was wonderful in the spring of '79... #5: (insert obvious lie) and the best one, the non answer, only used when I am cranky: Millions of people have it and don't even know it. Are you tired a lot? Have you been checked? Maybe you should ask your doctor...

Truth is, I'm rarely up at dawn and I don't think delicate is an adjective that's ever been used for me.

Sort of like one of those barely visible little hole-in-the-wall bars, a cross between Callahan's Saloon (yeah, Spider Robinson) and Bedlam perhaps, but one where I feel right at home.

Maybe you should ask your doctor... Someone needs to publish a list of things *not* to say to hep c patients. Could include those old favourites like: 1. That's like AIDS, isn't it? 2. Don't worry, I'll put you on our prayer list and you'll be fine. 3. Aw, yer kiddin! You look just fine to me. 4. You gotta talk to my friend. He had hep c and cured it with (insert latest snake-oil trend here). 5. Well don't you worry about it, attitude is everything. Now let's go for a beer and get your mind off it.

I really enjoy letting loose on idiots, so I kind of like Riba Rage too.

It's best to warn everyone first though, because the riba makes *everyone* seem like idiots. All the best, Waterspider

I'm waiting for the hammer to fall, and hoping it doesn't. We can compare notes, maybe make a side bet or two on who will have the fewest sides. (is that a pun?)
Let the games begin. Got any money?
> Do you think he's just playing on your bad memory? All's fair in this house.
