Re: Boobs / Teri / everyone

[Guest guest]

Oh Lord...  guess I gotta go get my damn boobs smashed huh?:  Jeez....  (head down, sticking out tongue... kicking dirt...  kicking LOTS of god damn dirt) Do I gotta?  Aw MOM...  This isn't fair....  

Trudy, honey, I know the want to celebrate feeling..  and not having enough energy to do it...  Let me make you feel a bit better here..  At one point during my treatment, I met an old friend of Bruce's that I'd heard about for years..  we wound up at his house for a Bears game, I was bald at the time, and this guy had a fully loaded bar in his living room..  this bar would put most 5 star restaurants to shame with what he had on the shelf.  He offered me a drink...  I couldn't drink..  on treatment, liver in flux...  not a good combo.  We told him the situation and he offered to throw a party for me when I finished treatment.  6 months after I finished, I was at his house for New Years Eve..  BIG party..  That was when I finally celebrated being done with treatment.  I had my SVR at that point and I had a blast that night.  

Fast forward to today...  years later.  I am right now sitting in my living room...  I am in pain from head to toe.  My damn hair hurts.  I have been in 3 different states in 2 days..  2 airports.. 2 visits to each..  and my return flight into O'Hare left me at the god damn C terminal...  the one that is in the MIDDLE of the stupid runways..  where you have to walk UNDER the tarmac for a mile to get to the main airport terminal...  Lugging my stupid one bag..  that held my laptop, my one change of clothes and my crap that I took with me...  Bear in mind, I packed LIGHT for this trip.  I have been whisked around in limo's for 2 days..  stayed at a tt..  and spoiled by Vertex yet again.  Today I am paying for it in spades.  All I can think about right now, besides my pain, is that I probably feel better than you do!  I'm sorry..  

Now, straighten that princess tiara..  you are going to start feeling better every day.  Yes there will still be painful days..  see paragraph above for proof.  But you are going to feel better.  I PROMISE.

No corn dogs yet?  WOW!  Food will start tasting better real soon too!Hugs,TeriOn Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 9:08 PM, trudykinsey@... <trudykinsey@...> wrote:

 

Ok first of all, the mammogram didn't hurt AT ALL, not even

uncomfortable. ( do ya think my Boobs have Renalds syndrome too ? Numb

like hands and feet? LOL ) Teri, I wouldn't tell you wrong. Now, man

up ( hee hee!) and go get yours ,Teri!

And it's just starting to sink in. I keep looking at the time cause

it's Friday night. You know, for three years I have imagined this day.

End of tx & clear of HCV. And it's a bit of a let down. I want to

celebrate but I still feel like crap. In my naive mind , I thought I

would instantly " be well " . But each day will be another day towards

being " me " again.

Thanks Don Teri Donna and Beth, Everyone! I could not have made it

without EACH and every one of y'all. If Hdoc thought I was " in a bad

place " mentally & emotionally, I would hate to have shown him me

without all of you helping me.

Heck, now I feel like I'm giving an acceptance speech . Maybe it's

the tiara on my head.

And I haven't had a corn dog all day! Teri aka WW, go drink some water

yourself !!
