22 Weeks, 5 Days: My Liver Compensates Well...

My nurse said something interesting at the 20-week check up. She said, "Your liver compensates very well [to the virus and now this long-term treatment]." Really? Wow. That says a lot about my body and my personality. Often times while growing up, my parents took pride in sharing how "adaptable" I was. I suppose I "adapted" well to the leukemia treatment 25 years ago. I "adapted" to living with Hep C. Even my liver knows how to fall in line: "Your liver compensates very well..." Too funny. Or is it??...

22 Weeks, 4 Days: A Foreign Habit...

It's been a while since I posted. I hadn't forgotten about y'all... Thanks for your patience!

I'm almost halfway through treatment! Yeah! AND... I'm pretty worn out this week. I've been running on low since school started, really.

19 Weeks, 4 Days - I don't appear wiped out, but I feel it.

I enjoy the freedom of summer vacation! I love spending time with the kids without stressing over bedtime, getting ready for school, getting to school on time, homework, projects, violin, clean clothes, lunches made, tests, social drama, etc.

Today, the kids went back to school.

And, I prepared myself for this day - and the kids too. I really did! So I thought... One kid decided she didn't like the outfit she set out the night before so she had to pass on breakfast in order to get to the bus on time, another kid "forgot" to groom, and still another decided to play hide and seek.

I stressed...Darn it!... I tried not to. I really did.
