Karma Continued

OK  For those of you who are poised in anticipation on the edge of your seat waiting breathlessly for Part II of "Should Have Seen it Coming". Sorry.  Not going to happen.  Synopsis - Christmas came, dog died  bought a puppy, spent time with family Christmas was over.  End of story.

So.  Moving on.  It's been a very hectic 2011 so far.  Been meaming to write but can never seem to find the time.  However, due to the inevitability of STUFF happening just to annoy me, my computer crashed at work today so after about on hour of wandering around the office eating what candy I could beg, borrow or steal, waiting on my computer to be fixed or replaced with those small boxes they pass off as "loaner laptops', I found myself with some time on my hands.  Thus this post.  I can update my blog and still look like I am hard at work fighting the evils of the corporate world which i would be doing if I could only access my computer or even my Blackberry.  (For once, I actually remembered to plug in my BB last night so it is sitting safely at home all snug in it's charger)

Anyway, where was I?? Oh yeah, 2011.

Starting to get a bit nervous about my impending treatment for Hep C.  When I first signed up for this gruelling, but possibly unrewarding therapy, it was six months away.  Now we are down to 3 month.  Wow!  REALLY quick 3 months!!  The hardest part of the preparation (besides the no alcohol thing which happy hour  is almost considered a medical necessity for good mental health at my company) is the UNKNOWN FACTOR!!!!!  I have no idea how my body (and mind) are going to react to the treatment.  DOCTOR said that reactions for different people was like a "Bell Curve".  "Bell Curve".  Sounds like a kiddie ride at the amusement park doesn't it?  WRONG!!!
Yeah, I know.  I was surprised too!!!

Doctors "Bell Curve" means that  1.  I could feel fine and be able to go on pretty much like normal.  2. I could feel somewhat crappy but still pretty much function OK.  3 - Feel REALLY crappy and struggle to function in what passes as acceptable or 4. Be Totally wiped out and not be able to function at all to the point of being temporarily disabled during treatment.  Geez.  Wonder how many taxpayers' $'s were spent to come up with THAT study????  Course , I am not a doctor, and I would never presume to possess the vast knowledge that is floating around the Med Schools, but I am pretty sure I could have come up with those options on my own.  

Prognosis - You will either feel fine, feel crappy or feel somewhere in between fine and crappy.  REALLY glad I got that info.VERY useful for the preplanning stage!!!

Anyway, go see my ENT DOCTOR tomorrow to see if, as an extra little bonus, I need another sinus surgery before I start my treatment.
 (BACKGROUND UPDATE BULLETIN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Have had 3 sinus surgeries= one staph infection last spring = heavy treatment of 6 weeks of levaquin = stressed liver = trip to MUSC = trans jugular liver biopsy, upper GI, lower GI, blood work, MRI = Upcoming treatment

Butterfly Effect.  What can ya do.
