Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / February 2009Only 2 more shots
I have good news and bad news. After Friday nights shot, I only have one more shot to go. I thought I'd be done with the riba but the dr. said I have to take that for one more week after my last shot. That pissed me off, thought I was done in a little over one week. guess I'll live. don't know what to do for a celebration, any ideas? Also, I will have almost a full bottle of Riba left over, If you guys need any let me know. I wonder what it feels like to be "normal"? been so long since I felt good I honestly have a hard time remembering. the only thing close to feeling good is about an hour after I take the hdyro-c, and that's not really the same is it. of course, I will miss being able to fly into a rage , swearingat my co-workers, cuz I won't be able to blame it on the riba anymore, damn... Joe Hi TC, Congratulations on making it to almost the end. Your doctor is right about the 'left over' riba caps. They are meant to interact with the last shot of pegelated Interferon, completing the treatment. Don't forget, the IFN is pegelated which means that it is gradually absorbed by your body/liver during the course of the following week. They are only capsules. Eat 'em up. About feeling normal? ha ha ha everyone has their own recovery envelope. But your riba rage should dissipate rather quickly, and you actually might find yourself mellowing to another level than you have ever experienced. Many of us have. cactus jammies ~~ >I have good news and bad news. After Friday nights shot, I only have > one more shot to go. I thought I'd be done with the riba but the dr.

Hey TX, good for you too! let us know how you feel after a while. joe WAY TO GO, TC!!! Yahoo, see the day finally arrived. At the end of TX for me, after pneumonia, and a MRSA infection, my BLCD just said "quit everything" a week early. I lived, I won, I made it!! And the Dragon is gone, two years later.... Stay in touch!!! :) :) :) Deb <envy envy envy, turning a bright shade of lime green> Seriously, that's just awesome. I love it when the dragon loses. >I have good news and bad news.

I told my sister-in-law last night I know to manage the HCV, but this hip thing caught me completely off guard and I can't get a grip on it. I stand at the bottom of stairs mumbling "Going up, lead with the good leg, going down...." It's ludicrous, and I am really majorly annoyed at the limitations.

It's > ludicrous, and I am really majorly annoyed at the limitations. Argh! sounds like crap. A friend of mine, now close to 70, had both hips replaced, twice. the first time was many years ago prior to the new developments. He had them both replaced again in the last 2 years and he was up and going within about 3 weeks and he say's he hasn't felt this good in years., better than before the first hip replacements. so, I forget, how long before you get your surgery? joe On Feb 11, 6:35 pm, "Thip" <m...@privacy.net> wrote: > "topcat" <ho...@live.com> wrote in message sounds like crap.

I don't know when they'll schedule me for surgery. My next appointment is this coming Wednesday and I fully intend to pitch a fit til he agrees to operate ASAP just to get rid of me. If you just "go with the pain" it will come naturally on the stairs. I did one-step- at- a- time for months it seemed like, so long that after the hip replacement, I had to relearn how to go up and down the stairs "normally" haha! Just step up with the good leg then bring the bad leg up to the same step. One step at a time. What a pain (literally!) It really made me laugh at myself that I couldn't figure out how I USED to do stairs.... :) > If you just "go with the pain" it will come naturally on the stairs. > I did one-step- at- a- time for months it seemed like, so long that [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > (literally!)

It's knocked me right off my feet a couple times already. Besides, I'm so blasted brain-fogged from the HCV I have trouble remembering up-good leg, down-bad leg. So I stand there and mumble to myself until I finally get it right in my head--and then usually lead off with the wrong leg anyway. Oh, I'm just a pititful wreck, yes indeed I am. |
