41st Injection.......7 more left!

Falling nicely thank you. Brixton, 2004.


Pleasantly falling under my trusty but small parachute. That is the way I have been doing things and that is the way I wanted things to happen. I can't complain, so I won't......besides, I have absolutely nothing to complain about! These Interferon injections are sailing by without so much as a blink or kiss. No scars, no pain and no leaks and maybe no virus either. That will be nice. I'd like some of that on toast.
Maybe there is no bread in the bread bin...........so be it! Next time maybe.

I got another NAM newsletter through the post this morning. NAM (aids treatment update) meaning National Aids Magazine I think? I have been recieving them every month for years and I don't quite know what it stands for! I hardly ever read them either. I check out the index and usually throw them out. I am well so what do I need to know about aids? I don't feel as though I have it, I just know that I do (the important thing) and that I am treating it in the best and strictest way that one can! I am such a stickler for adherence and that is why I am still around maybe. Keep fit and eat healthy, don't smoke and do not drink alcohol! Well just as well I have been doing those things for years. A perfect study case I may be. Perhaps thats why I am finding the Hep C tx so easy going. But overall it isn't easy at times and along with Hep C and Haemophilia things are made more difficult, but I manage somehow.
I shall always have my HIV to deal with if I manage to put the HCV to slaughter! Nearly there, just a few more to go. It may seem that it must be quite easy to keep this HIV tamed so to speak, but one really does need to be very strict with drug regimes etc.................Just realised that it is "World Aids Day", just goes to show how much I think about Aids outside of just basically taking my drugs and keeping fit et al. I have never been one for "World Days" except for "World Towel Day" in recognition of the late great Douglas Noel Adams of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" fame. Details are down the right hand side of my blog in the "Websites that make me tick" section.
Anyway, enough about HIV!.............So boring! Give me the drugs and I will take them. Ask for my blood and I shall let you have a sample. But give me a Doctors appointment up at the RFH at 09:10 and I will tell you where to go!

Bloody hell! It's December already! I most certainly are not in the Christmas spirit yet! I might put my tree up soon and switch on the string of white lights I have hugging the skirting board of my living room too. I am going to make a few Christmas cards soon. Last year I did some. I use a craft knife to cut out words or trees and stars etc. Nothing too intricate but my right arm hurts quite a bit from it! I will probably use the same template from last years card. Or just buy them one like everyone else;)
What I am mostly looking forward to by far is being with my family over the three days that are Dec 25th, 26th and New Years Eve too:) Nice food and nice conversation (mostly) and watching Millie with her new toys:) Oh, and watching my Dad chew each of his mouthfuls of dinner for ten minutes looking exactly like a cow chewing grass;) Yes I know I said my Mum & Dad had divorced back in about 79 or so but they are still local to each other and still see one another at times like this amongst others. Actually I was at his last night playing golf on the PS2 and as always (well, mostly) I beat him.

God my bloody knee! I want to go out on my bike.......even in the pouring rain! But I need to stay off it! Shit my poxy bloody knee! How long will this take to heal? I will need to go out soon or I will implode or something. It has only been since Tuesday, but with no sight of my next ride I am already beginning to feel terribly isolated and pissed off! I looked up all about knee injuries and my knee is nowhere near as bad as the symptoms suggested there. I should be in quite a bit of pain and unable to walk etc. I think maybe I was lucky and stopped moving the knee just in time to prevent any proper damage. I did recognize what they said about the popping sound and grating feeling of bone and pain as the initial injury takes place etc, but the pain is gone and there is no swelling. Although I can feel some kind of buzzing, tingling sensation where it happened.................Boring!

I'd just like to apologize for the most boring post in the whole of Blogland and beyond!

Maybe you should go see an orthopedic surgeon about the knee, sounds like you could use a brace for it, I'm sure you could find one yourself, but the ortho-pod will know what's best for you to use.
I know it boring not being able to ride, but you could probably get out and walk more if you had a brace.

Snnnnoooooorrrrrrreeeeeee

Just kidding! I imagine being kept off your bike is pretty significant. There is so much freedom and strength rolled into those tires. Hope you're pain free soon.

ps: I'm nearly a third through Colony. Had to take a break, get some water, visit your site. Love the book!
