About Me

My husband and I have been married 20 years. It has been a rough road with some pretty steep peaks and valleys. He has a history of Depression and Anxiety issues. He is currently not in treatment, by choice. We have two beautiful and interesting daughters. One dog and a mortgage! LOL Most recently we have been hit with the reality of illness. I come from a family history of Diabetes. My mom has neuropathy, gastroparesis and end stage renal failure and is on daily dialysis, my brother is almost ready to start. He is also blind from Diabetes. I am PRE-Diabetic working diligently to keep myself from crossing over. More impactive to our lives is that my husband was diagnosed 11/2008 with Hepatitis C. He most likely contracted this disease in his teens during his wild and carefree years. He was a casual drug user with typical teenage infallible thinking. So here today 25 years later, we are suddenly affected by those choices. Most tragically, he has Cirrhosis from the HCV. What we know so far is that he has Genotype 1a, a 3.5 mil. VL and MELD 10. To say I am scared is a misnomer. I am petrified beyond belief. I am angry and frustrated. We still have two deserving children to raise. We have a life. But it could all be changed drastically by this diagnosis. Fear of the unkown is overwhelming. Fear of the known is also overwhelming. The best I can hope for is to cope with what is.
