29th injection & My life in pictures

Jae & Dessert Storm

Hi everyone. Before i continue with my blog, i will just add first that as from now i am going to add a photo for every post i write. For each photograph i shall add a little information about it.

This first photograph i took of myself last night, on the very top of Leith Hill in Surrey. The tower is in the background. The moon was almost full and the sky looked absolutely amazing! I was all alone, apart from all the animals and insects i could hear. I Love being in places just like this.

Anyway, i shall continue.
Tonight is the night of my 29th Interferon injection. And just a few days ago, i completed my 1176th (7th bottle) Ribavirin tablet. I feel exactly the same as i did 1 week ago. The numbness in my little finger isn't any worse. I have been having tooth ache though in the past week. But i doubt that has anything to do with my treatment. More likely it has something to do with the fact that i never looked after my teeth as a child. I do now of course. It may even be a wisdom tooth coming up and saying 'Hello', i am here and i won't go away! It does come and go. The pain that is. I really don't want to tell the doctors yet, as i know they will suggest having them looked at. I hate going to the dentist, because every time i have been they have this very perfect knack of making my gums bleed! This bleeding, even with tonnes of Transamic Acid, lasts for well over a week and having a bloody mouth for that long is quite deppressing! I shall keep my eye on that too.

I have just finished dinner and am now watching a documentary about the terrible events on September 11th 2001. My problems seem so insignificant in comparison.

How how how do you do it??? You're one strong man! I swear I can barely climb a flight of stairs these days (and I was in rock'n shape when I started). Thanks for your encourageing words to my green pepper post. I asked the doc about rechecking my viral load and I'll know the answer in a few weeks. She said once they're down to undetectable they usually stay there for the rest of treatment (after that is still to be seen).

Hey, check out these two fellow riders (one's a good friend of mine): bigringcircus.blogspot.com and oldbag.blogspot.com

I wonder if your numb finger has anything to do with riding. I knew a guy who had some serious finger numbness after a long bike tour across the US.
