10 Days Later

Dear Journal- It's been 10 days since I've received the news of Hep C. I have to say I'm starting to feel like the normal Lisa. I spent most of the day  today living without constantly thinking about this dreadful virus in my body. I don't think I'll ever go a complete day without thinking of it, but at least part of the day.  I am so Thankful that I did not learn of this disease 10 years ago. I'm not sure I would of been able to handle as well as I am now. I have awonderful husband, wonderful job and a great home. Like my husband said today, my platform could not be any better, I have the most ideal situation to support me in this upcoming battle I may be faced with. I've decided I think that if my biopsy or fibrosure blood test comes back at a stage 1 or better, I may try to wing it on my own with nutrition and diet to see if I can maintain my current level of health. Otherwise if I am worse than a stage 1, I really must be responsible and do the treatment. I am not looking forward to that. I have been such a healthly person all these years. The thought of having the flu for a year just doesn't sound appealing to me. Oh well too early in the game to start stressing about that.  Today was a decent day, I went to the Massage Therapy clinic and had one of the students work on me. OMG!! She was awesome!! I love having massages and have gone to some swanky places, I have to say  this student was right up there with the best. She certainly has a bright future ahead of her.  I'm a little bit irritated.. I woke up last week with one of my eyelids having this crusty, flakly  redness on it. It's progressivly gotten worse. This morning I woke up and my eyes looked like they were glue shut. And talk about swollen!! I looked like I had been crying all night long!! What the heck!! My face is feels really tight and dry also. I have been drinking a ton of water and have not used any new creams on my eyes or face. There can't be a relation to Hep C? Could it be all the vitamins I'm taking? Doesn't make sense, I should look better not worse. The only thing I can think of is the toxins in body are all coming out possibly?? I think I'm just being put to the test. Let's see how much Lisa can take before she cracks!!  LOL!!  Well I should go outside with my hubby and put some pots of flowers together. Talk to you soon my friend.  Monday is the day I meet the specialist.. More to come on that.
