5th year anniversary

Well folks, today makes five years since my live liver transplant. I won't bother retelling my story but hep C almost killed me, a transplant with my daughter as my donor, returned me to life and finally doing interferon treatment got rid of the nasty virus forever !

Now, I'm healthy, happy, active busy growing a garden, painting and loving life, grateful for the blue sky above and the beauty of nature.

.If you are doing treatment, don't give up and don't let the nasty side effects get you down !  

My best wishes for everyone.
OH

Hey girl! I think your story should be told, it is very inspirational.  Do you have it on your journal page?  I know it would help so many people.
Much like Hectors story has helped so many people.
I know it saved my life :)

We all have the dream of being able to say what you have said
How wonderful!

Although  I have not had to go through all what you have been…
We all have the dream of being able to say what you have said

Let us hope that we all feel that way!  

Not having this virus will keep others safe, give relief to our families that we have a brighter future to live and love…

Removing the stigma attached will be a great relief for everyone.

peace
