Hey Josh,

Thanks for checkin in. Glad to hear your still not lying to yourself, or anyone else...keeping it real. Maybe a good plan would be to take out vital organ threats one at a time, should the thought of doing it all at once be, perhaps, too overwhelming. I don't mean leaning on other crutches (for lack of a better word) long enough to get over one hurdle. Like I have known many who quit smoking tobacco only to smoke copious amounts of dope to get it done. Not convinced that is a good way to do it lol.

I remember you were in the process of stopping smoking and if breathing is your main concern... you know what you gotta do. My money says you don't need me or anyone else reminding you to do the things you know need to be done. But having said that, I think we both can agree that Duane is also keeping it real.

Good luck fishing my friend. Good times!

 but no counting chickens till they hatch on that end....  LOL be an optimists its good for you

 

Being honest is not going to save your liver.
If you knew the damage you are doing and how bad you can feel with liver disease you would reconsider the drinking, but I like you was young and thought I was invincible.
Be nice to your liver while you can....I wish I knew and could have when I had the chance, the last 3 yrs of my life have been real misery....the whole yeah we all gotta die sometime goes out the window when they start carving your name on the stone.

 hope everyone is well.... :)

im doing ok still healing from the residuals from the VATS had 1 infection at a surgical site I noticed it quickly and got amoxiclin... and i got a mucus head cold about the same time ...right after surgery.... so ya not good i seem to be getting better  as the wound site grows smaller where it was infected is about less then the size of a dime but ya it was a hole turned bright red ring around it... but like i said i figured it out quickly.....

 asked my normal FLP for anti-biotic saying i dont want my dad to get this cold cause he has cancer and they call me back the next day saying we dont think you need it... ..could have called he an expletive which she pretty much is ... sum doctors are good sum are not so good and if youve seen more then a couple like have then you know what your looking or who your looking at.... 

 

 so i went to the clinic and the day i requested they gave me me amoxicilin... ya i called both same say clinic as fall back plan glad we have an alternative or end run around doctors here.... helpd me a few times....

 

 on the Hep C front i keep getting calls from sum1 that is obviously a rep for Abbie V ..cause she really wants me to get Viekira Pack and i told here there working on the 2nd appeal they accidently mailed the wrong paper work ... so it got delayed... but she talks to me more then my own gastro so i give here points for that and like i said i dont care if i get Harvoni or Viekira Pack i just want a chance at cure just like others get........ so i said iLL be fine with either....

 

 and at this point since i have both denials from insurance on paper actual documents... i could if i wanted do things on my own Harvoni support path or Vikera Proceed thing.....which is what that lady is working on ..... makes no nevermind to me... but iLL remain patient and give those who are helping me sum more time but ya im aware i can go it alone now that i have those denials and im poor so i know ILL get 1 or the other......  

 

  drug and alcohol intake consists currentyly of ... 2 ibuprofen plus 1 hydrocodne325/5..... cause there safe for pain... 1 0.5 decongestant  4 pills 2wice a day...

and ya 1 mix drink with 2 beers... at least im not liar.... yes i have zanax and access to opiates ... zanax is a benzodiazpene.... 0.5mg 11 of them ...only takin 1 ever ... cant say they work or not for anxiety but i think they do..i stay away from them though... save m for later like the other dangerous stuff.... i have Oxycodone..5mg hcl... dont take those either really....

 opiate plus benzo equals death...   opiate plus alcohol equals death... taking in wrong amounts wohich could be verry little .... so i say if you mess around or take any of that at all you better know about it.... you be surprised how people younger then me even die from stupidity.... lol not me I opt for the slow Burn approach to death...... i spend my time helping people who are older then me with yardwork shampooing carpets... and ya take care of my dad bringing him stuff...

 

 yes i will indeed stop drinking as soon as i hear anything is on its way and i bet in 3 months or less sumthing will indeed be on its way Vikera or Harvoni... now iLL either be cured or not same odds i had as before whether i do anything no i will not drink on treatment... that be like going to college paying money and not showing up........

 

 yes your right i am reckless to a small degree drinking at F-2 status  not really smoking cigaretss i use patches but yes still need nicotine...

 

 psycologicaly im doing ok i read your guys posts and have always admire you guys for the help you give me and one another....

for those of you who have relapsed you will be cured ... i have no doubt ... arent just words but FACT...... i work bout 2 hours a day M-F cleaning..not hard finished 1 week since SURG... yaya... might get a second job at night... time constaints on sum things with everything thats going on currently... havent gone fishing yet might next week its 15 minuets to the resovoir... spose to be 70 next week...

 

 helping my 74 friend i do yard work and carpets for ... fish pond with his 55 Ford crown vic fairlane....test drive after fixing things...  yes sum of my friends are my age double my age or younger then me......   

 

 not super stressed out ..doing good that cold and infection sucked... glad i spot things very quickly..... id say if your real good at knowing your body mechanics..if anything is wrong pain .. infection... sickness ... you should do sumthing within 3 days to combat it .... you can get away with 5 or 7 but the sooner you act the sooner it gets taken care of.....

 maintenance and moderation is key to long life or quality of life and stress management and attitude help alot too.. ive found  lol i only get negative when i encounter other negative pople the verbal fight of epic proportions ensues cause i have no problem saying what i think :) which is good and bad... gota be able to take advice and listen to people too know when they are telling you the truth listen to opinions....

 

 i gravitate to older people then me because of Moral values and wisdom.. not to mention most people my age or younger are pretty materialistic and stupid .... or 7 out of 10 are ...

sum are not....  i admire real people who care about right and wrong... and who have hearts that will offer help when asked or called upon.... to me thats pretty special...

 Ive seen that here numerous times ...... Sorry for talkn your ear off thanks for reading my Update ... things are in motion but it is slow..........

 we all know how slow things on the Hep C front can more and thats why if you do SVR its totaly worth it all the time and waiting and abstenince ..not currently... but did and will... that goes into it..... not to mention its huge monkey off your back getting riid of this evil dragon.... the dragon may be persistent and he may try to get me in the end but i am more persistent and i know for an absolute fact that i will fight the dragon till ive won...  they may say 90 percent cure rate this and that which are fact but we all know in life everything is 50-50 you will or you wont.. yes and no... 

  but persistence and determination is what gets you what you want in anything... and your willingness to fight through mental and physical obsticles .... 

 

 me i just chill with my cats help friends and relatives read news ..play games..fish.. ponder moralities...  and wiegh the future ... but nope i aint clocking out early... whether your called mom or dad brother sister grandpa...friend.... we all more involved and part  to huge degree of each others lives ... or at least thats how i percieve it :) 

 

so i say ILL talk with everyone again here soon as always.. and i hope that all of you are well 

have a good sunday
