I've been too busy, not here much. Coming back here tonight.....
I'm reading thru post, questions, SVR's and starting tx's, etc. I 'celebrated' my 1 yr. since starting tx in Sept. I remember 'begging' my Dr...'can I please start AFTER Halloween"?? (NO, in a trial also). I remember the fear, the dread while excitement of getting started. The relief after that 1st dose. The days I felt I just couldn't do anymore, the emotional roller coaster, the lack of energy to walk to my mailbox. Driving somewhere and not remembering the drive! Taking my dogs med by accident! (looks like Riba!) Leaving appointments while in the waiting room (lol!) and the many threads we had on funniest things I did on tx. The MANY nights of being up all night (special thanks to Willy50 on that one!) Thru ALL of every day of it.....coming here was a warm, fuzzy feeling. Even at my worst. My friends were (are) here, people that cared, knew exactly what I was going thru, had answers for me, advice and 'keep goings'. I actually miss that feeling of such comfort thru such a hard time. I actually miss some of those days. Now that alone says a LOT for all you people and this site! To miss tx days!! We were (are) so united in this, despite any differences in opinions, religion, views on other things. We had a LOT of fun here also! It seems like it is much less active now, while still very caring. I truly hope this place keeps and rebuilds all of this with each new member, each ended tx and each new tx. The 'warm, fuzzy' feeling I got from here is unique to anything else I will experience. I hope all will continue to keep that here as many come and go. There is no other place, nor people, I could have gotten what I did from here.
My thanks, again, to so many and my best wishes for you all, LL
