30.10.09 I have decided I am going to beat Hepatitis C~I MUST! It will be hard I know! BUT, I MUST do the treatment. Statistics are 50/50 cure rate,even if the viral load isn't cleared completely but It'a a chance (Can hear Mum saying,"Where's there's life there's hope!") and it's true! Statistics also show that,the majority of people with it DONT KNOW they have it! Therefore,I am very lucky to know,and have options. Yes,it wont be easy..... BUT FAR PREFERABLE to finding out much too late..... As those who find themselves in that position,will NEED A TRANSPLANT! The next development if they cant,is the Big C! :( SO,I AM VERY,VERY LUCKY,to know now, AND I'M GOING TO WIN!
This blog is anything and everything..scattered,as I sometimes am,clever as I sometimes am,silly as I OFTEN am..sad,happy..well all those things we sometimes are!It may even be a shopping list..But,it will be ME WYSIWYG and that is a promise! ;D

FOR DELIAH 2/4/09~2/8/09
I lost my little girl Deliah tonight at about 10.40pm! My little girl was a kitten! She hadn't been ill,but was tinier than the boys(her sister and twin May had passed 2 weeks earlier) and would not chew as they would but only lap, although she did this with gusto,was very vocal about and nearly knocked me over when I'd bring in their warm milk! She was so beautiful in looks and nature,I felt closer to her than the boys,cos she had decided that I would be her Mama! She would climb up my leg to sit on my knee ANYTIME I sat down and each time I'd get into bed she'd toddle across the room and climb up into the bed,walk right up to my face and climb under the covers,where she'd sleep happily all night! She had to be closer to me than the boys and she let them know it! The last night we went to bed (1/8/09)she had seemed a little out of sorts,in that she didn't want her brothers to touch her,but not sick. When I awoke,I couldn't find her in her normal spot..on me! had seen her a little earlier further down the bed but thought nothing of it.Then I lay back and immediately felt her,but I didn't lay right back and I jumped up as soon as I felt her..I dont believe I injured her we had slept together every night. She toddled out of bed,but seemed wobbly and unaware of where she was going.I picked her up and her head wobbled from side to side. This filled me with dread as I have seen it in other kittens and it had always been imminent to their death! The toddling was the last time she would use her legs,she deteriorated very quickly,but was such a little fighter I'm sure she was trying to fight and hang on and I think she was doing it for me.Her little brother Ty sat with me next to her and cried,I took her to her mother Paris who licked her goodbye.Then I just sat with her in my lap monitoring her heartbeat and telling her all the things I loved about her and how much joy she'd brought to me! When she had tried too long,I told her,it was OK to go, just go to sleep and I'd be OK,her sister would be there and she'd be in a beautiful happy place forever! Whether you believe it or not,I believe she understood,for almost immediately,she looked straight at me,let out a very faint miaow (I believe Goodbye) and gave up fighting.
I only had this little girl for 4 months,but she was very special(yes they all are and I have many animals)she made herself extra special,by showing complete trust and love,and letting it be known to all and sundry,that she had chosen me and only me! She made me feel special,cos she was special. Strange that I had only posted a video the night before on YouTube of the kittens.
I will be eternally grateful for the short time,I was privileged to have this little fluffy ball of love in my life and I wont ever forget her!
Rest in that beautiful place,my little love,with all those I have loved and lost.It is my hope to join you all again sooner or later.
It's so late,but I dont want to go to bed because I know,I wont feel her climb up and get into the bed anymore.
I do have her boisterous brothers Ty and Zac(they are very quiet tonight)but it just wont be the same! **To Deliah,my little princess,'til we meet again! (2/4/09~2/8/09)

Trying to Catch Hepatitis C?
A MESSAGE THAT COULD EFFECT YOUR LIVER~DID MINE! :(
There are many ways to contract Hepatitis C and it can take 20 to 30 years to show up.This video stops short of intraveinous drug use (stigma,I guess)but as I said there are so many ways!
BTW I thought I knew a lot but found out only today,that boiling a syringedoes not make you safe.If someone else, a carrier uses the same tourniqette and/or injects you a mere brush of tourniqette/finger/thumb/tap on the needle(by the injector) against your skin(on the puncture site) can cause you to contract the virus! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SEE ANY BLOOD A MINISCULE AMOUNT,NAKED TO THE HUMAN EYE IS ENOUGH TO INFECT YOU.....THAT'S FOR LIFE!
And.....yes I have recently been diagnosed with Hepatitis C,something to add to my litany of other illnesses..Great!
I was absolutely floored!I started to think why me? Where? How?OK I had a wild past as a teen/young woman.....but that was sooooooo many lifetimes ago.
I had my son via a C section 27 years ago in 1982 and blood was NOT screened until 1989.
I had dental work done cheaply,because it was all I could afford.........and the list could go on,but that is all done and gone.
Nothing can be changed!
I do know however that new and more successful treatments,are coming along all the time for Hep C and I know I have a chance to halt this disease with available treatment. It's a 50/50 success rate,but I'd be stupid not to try!(Will keep you posted)
Another thing I think would be stupid is if you feel you may have have contact with the infection,NOT to be blood tested,for peace of mind! It's just a little prick..and haven't we all had to face them at some time in our lifes?? :)
*****If you have any info/experience with Hep C /treatment,I'd love to hear!
