Re: Being shy

[Guest guest]

Hi Machelle

Ken & I tend to be 'loners' too. as we were put thru 'social death' when I was

being honest about having Hepc.... turns out most people don't want to know

about & tend to think we're 'highly contagious' so I don't mention it too often

escept as a precaution to medical people.. some of whom don't wear eye

protection when drawing blood from... these MD & nurses & technicians can

sometimes choose to think they can't get this virus evidently?! Also I want

them to use protection for me sake also!

That's one of the things I like about this group. I

do have a very loving & supportive wife who is always

there for me. But some times you need another outlet

to vent your worries & anger.

Your right there Jan, Susy has medical problems. I

try to understand & can see what she's going through

but I don't really understand. She has her on line

supports with others going through what she is. For a

matter of fact she talked me into joining this group.

One of the more difficult things is that we normally

do not " appear " to be ill. So people think we are not.

I know many people thought I was being unsociable

because I did not participate in any outside

activities. I quit my guitar lessons, quit going to

NA/AA meetings, quit going to my home fellowship

group, etc. People just don't understand if you are

not physically ill or pale or coughing and wheezing,

how hard it is to get yourself going. -dz-

That's the list. It seemed like it was going to be a good list, but then the list owner had to show his ass about everything. I don't need that. So I guess you could say I showed my ass right back to him...lol

The only people I have told about having Hep C & my

treatment are a few close friends, my bosses at work

so if I wasn't feeling up to par & wasn't performing

as I should they would know why. Of course it got

around in my Deptment " but it hasn't out side my

department. There was a few quistions. But everyone

treats me the same as before. There as been a few days

that I wasn't feeling up to par that my Boss saw &

knew that I wasn't feeling well & let me leave early.

He likes the fact that I come in when I not feeling

well.

I was treated well at work also. I told my manager and

my supervisor. I took 5 weeks family medical leave

when I started tx, so I imagine the rest of the

department must have wondered what was wrong, but

nobody has questioned me. -dz-
