Great news Gracie. Funny I used to open a public washroom door at my hospital with a towel so your not the only one. LOL    Nice to hear you are finishing and well on your way to a better life. Terry

Luckily the butt problems was one I missed out on, just had every other symptom...lol. It's the fat thing I'm ecstatic about. That was such a pain... Think I'll throw out every nut I have left in my cupboard. Even ice cream... Blech! Gotta get some SKIM milk again. And I can have anything i want for dinner! Even a small salad. Did anybody have any withdrawal symptoms from incevik? Just wondering what to expect.

The show wasn't crowded, and my niece loves to sit near the front so I was a-ok as far as germy people went. Wasn't the best show, but not too bad as far as teen shows go. It's the next "hunger games" like series.

Now time to settle in and prepare for shot number 13.... Phase 2 begins! So glad I can SLEEP IN tomorrow. Thanks to all of you who know exactly how I'm feeling! There is nothing like having people to talk to who get you totally!

Ahh... Gracie the picture of those pills made my butt cheeks clinch. :) Nice job!! Enjoy your day you deserve it. But as Tig has said by care full last thing you want is to catch a bug. When I finished the incivek and didn't have to eat the fat three times a day(old dose) I was hungry all the time lol. I see egg Mcmuffin in your post again so I guess I'll have to go make one or wait until morning and go to Mickey D's.....I'll make one now. 

 

Nice Job.

I felt like a kid at christmas finishing the dreaded Incivek...its soo good to eat a normal diet and not have to force food down when you ain't hungry biggrin. Good luck with your 12 week bloods also.

Big virtual hug coming your way

Congrats Gracie!! It's a great day when one of three is complete. You'll notice a big difference with the "ease" of treatment now. Some might laugh at that statement, but WE know the pill burden is less, the fat requirement is gone and the absolute need to get up, find the appropriate meal and fat grams is over! That calls for a LOUD >>>>WOOT<<<<!!! 

Now I have to be a wet blanket and remind you that you should be careful going into that movie theater. They are full of people with colds and flu. Don't expose yourself to crowds unnecessarily and use precautions if you must. You have gloves and you might consider wearing a mask if you're sitting among a crowd. Your numbers are low and you're wide open to catching a bug. Just sayin....  ( Lecture over smile)

Lisa, I liked the pun, "pain in the butt"! The Incivek curse.....furious

Well, I am finally rid of the little purple pills. Took the Elusive Three that I missed a couple of weeks ago this morning. Maybe its mental, but I sure feel great today. The sun is out, I got a new hair cut, went to MacDonalds for an Egg McMuffin, and am going to the show this afternoon with my niece and sister Divergent - which is kind of a teen thing, but what the heck! Its the time spent with family right. My counts are still not great - WBC 1.4, Haemoglobin 9.8, ANC .57, but I think our bodies adjust to these low counts perhaps. Still have managed to not catch a cold or flu, but am extra cautious about that (hand sanitizers, press the automatic open buttons when they are available, wear gloves when I'm getting groceries ... yep - I do get looks). And I am now 1/4 done - yippee!!!!!
