FAR AWAY EYES
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station

Well I finally did it.
I went into work today to sign myself off (I've been off sick for a
week) and I got interrogated.  I felt that the interrogation was
unnecessarily intrusive and I screamed at the new manager that his

Thanks to BeatHepC for making me aware of the EASL conference summaries
on NATAP (http://www.natap.org/2004/EASL/easl.htm).
A few highlights:
"SMOKING POT: a study was presented finding a strong link between daily

Alcohol is probably considered a no-no.  I'm not talking about going
out bar-hopping, but can a person with hep-c intelligently have a
glass of wine?  Since my tastes tend to the $75 a bottle and up
category,  it is a fairly infrequent event.

It has been two years since I took my last peg-intron/Reb treatment.  I show no
signs of hep c and am grateful.  However, I am still saddled with severe side
effects such as joint/muscle pain (just about all over), headaches, unqunchable
thirst, sweats, brain fog just to name a few. ...

I woke up this morning and thought I was going to puke on floor.  Have felt
that way all day and have had the usual "Nearly killed by Bob" aches and
pains along with it.  The freakin dragon must be getting its a.s kicked if I
feel this bad.

Shot three is in the morning and then its off to the doctors for my first
blood work since I started treatment.
Sleepless days and nights seem to be something that I are becoming the norm,
but I hope I can just keep dragging my SL33PY a.s along till this resolves

Hey all, and hugs to Doc, Mom, Heppiechik, Anja, Thipper, Fonzz, Russ,
Thomas, Thom, Kim, Mike, Lu Tze, Robin, Dez, Shawn, yeah the FNSC, and
everyone else who helped me through tx last year. Sure was fun, eh (insert
Elmo-laugh here, ahahahahah)! It's nearly a year since I returned ...

Man, when it rains, it pours............I didn't make the clincal trial
because I have spots on my liver that could be tumors.  The MRI came back
showing multiple spots that *could* be nodules related to the HCV, but
either way, I have to have another biopsy.  Grrrrrrrr.  Everything ...

pissed off of a bridge?  It's like Descartes once said, "I piss,
therefore I am."  
How more stupidly profound can you get?
Descartes needed a real life.   He never played the blues.  

Play them blues tonight, good buddy!
Don't play em if it makes you feel blue, play em if it makes you feel
good!
I've got my Strat warming up and I'm gonna be thinking about all my

Any particular things I should do with the computer before boxing it up
and hauling it half way across the country?

In Valencia, Spain, they have developed test to determine if treatment will
be successful and narrowing down treatment to a shorter time for people who
will respond favorably to the treatment.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but found an old picture site of my
hobby (mountain biking) before starting this tx.  Many of the pictures
are pretty boring, the Bar-H and some of the Horny-Toad Roundup may be
interesting.  It's hard to believe a year ago I was racing and now ...
