frustrated - venting

[Guest guest]

Little depressed - starting to wonder if I'm going to be able to handle all

this.

Spent the entire day at doctor's appointments today. Started off with labs - -

CBC, liver functions, Ferritin, and iron. Ferritin and iron have to be sent off

so probably won't know anything until Monday.

Then I went for a badly needed phlebotomy. My hematocrit is rising, should be

dropping. Usually give a pint, I told them to fill the bag, it was fat.

Hopefully, when my ferritin comes back I can convince my doc to let me phleb

every two weeks instead of every three.

Then I took my daughter to the doc. Running fever, she has strep. Got her on a

z-pac.

Then I had to go back to the hospital for physical therapy on my elbow. Good

news of the day is my elbow is now within 5% of normal. Therapist told me I may

never get full use back. Just watch me.

Went to my parents after getting Jordy's antibiotics (they babysit our puppy - I

know we're nuts) and had to sleep for a hour before I could drive home.

MRI results came in yesterday. Foot is broken. I walked around on it for two

months before going to the doc. Stay in the boot two more weeks see the doc on

the 10th and we'll go from there.

Hell of a way to spend your day off.

You know, I am one tough cookie, but hearing what everyone is going through on

treatment really scares me. Today I am having second thoughts. What's going

to happen with the HH when I start treatment? Will the phlebotomys remove the

interferron and riba from my body? I have to have the phlebs to survive, but I

also have to have treatment for the hep. I guess I'm worry for nothing. I'm

not starting treatment anytime soon, don't know how long it's going to take to

become deironed. My viral load is high so I know I have to treat, but I am

scared shitless. I never do anything half assed, no, I have to have two

diseases that affect the liver.

Sorry to be a crybaby.
