No more shots

Hi everyone! Yet again, I forgot I had a blog and then I get excited to see what I wrote and see what everyone else commented and it feels good each time, like they're new comments!

I did shot #48 on Friday which is the last one. I have to take my pills through this coming Friday and then that is it. Done. I will get bloodwork done in May 2011 which is my 6 month post trestment bloodwork to make sure I am still clear of the virus. I am confident that will come back clear. After that, I wait until November 2011 to get my 12 month bloodwork. Providing my 6 month comes back clear, my 12 month should come back clear which means I am done and it is all gone! Woohoo!!

It's been a journey, I'll say that! I am so happy to be coming to the end of this and am so grateful for those who didn't abandon me when I really needed help.

Recovery is still a long road. I won't start to feel "myself" again for several months which means I'll still get out of breath climbing 4 steps, I still won't be at the gym, I'll still need people to walk slow if we go somewhere, and I won't be ready to tackle any dancefloors yet. But in the end, it will all have been worth it. I've met some amazing people from all over the world and they supported me the entire way. I get to meet many of that motley crew this May/June whilst in England. =)
