Josh,

Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. As Groupergetter said, it's never easy and my heart goes out to you and your family.

Your honesty is refreshing and you will see as you 'clean house' that your body does forgive you and heal. Don't feel that it's too late to make changes because it's not.

I think the harvoni will magically arrive once the drinking stops....chicken or the egg thing. I mean the health authority has many people waiting in line for treatment, if it was your decision would you give this expensive drug to someone who is truly 'ready' or to someone who may be ready?

Not judging, just saying. All the best Bro.

Greg

Hey Josh,

I'm saddened to hear about your Dad. I'm glad they were trying to control his discomfort, but that doesn't make it any easier for you. I have to believe that everything you did for him, made him feel better and brought you closer together. May he finally rest in peace.

 It sounds like you're having your own set of issues and now it's important for you to concentrate on getting things right in your own life. You're a young man and have a lot of living to do. Hang in there buddy...

Josh, sorry to hear of your dad's passing and that you're having to deal with this.  I lost my mom in December.  It's never easy, even when we know it's coming.  May the peace that passes all understanding, be yours.  Take care

  well my gastro screwed paper work up forcing me to wait  anothee month or so for Harvoni... 

 

 my dad died of stage 4 bone and prostate cancer on May 30th.... lucky me i watched most it ... 

ive watched a few people die now ... wasnt actualy there when he passed but i saw enough of it ... he wasnt in hospice a full day ... was in hospital month before being moved...  was on pain pump and salene not eating or drinking so i knew where it was going .....  pretty brutal ...... pain and watchin him shrivel up..... 

   ha then theres me well i take oxycodone 5mg .. and 2 ibuprofen 2wice a day usually lungs still dont feel right... might call my surgeon soon and say whats going on ... i get pains upper left back and left front chest... seen my heart pump arithmia a few times im like hmm thats intresting...

 i drink a little but will stop when i get treatment ha if that ever happens ... it will just painstakingly slow process... i hear prior use has no affect on whether harvoni works or not i researched it.... however i knmw i need to stop .. and i need to work out and jog again i weigh 137? so thats a little high for me nothing a month or two at the gym couldnt fix... still smoke cigaretts not doing my lungs any favors... ... .. still drive no tickets but the chance is always thier even if you thing your ot impaired by law proably still are....

 

 

 not working right now i just help others with thier stuff and go fishing my dad set aside a bunch money for me and my sister so theres that ... i have no idea how long iLL live but i made deal with myself id enjoy it .... while i can ....   even though id like to live to be 80 or more part of me thinks well you may not get that and part of that is my fault ..... but im pretty awre of things and thier outcomes ... im ok i spose saddened... had my wallet stolen the other day :)  but other then all that im ok ....   i think about you guys you know :)

 

  dont worry ill fix these issues :) i owe it to myself and everyone else
