Lulu is off and running.
For those of you who have been around me in the recent past, you know who Lulu is. For the rest of you, fasten your seat belts. I tell my story, and how Lulu came about, in hopes that I can learn something as well as helping others along the way.
During the Spring of 2005, I began to have some real annoying things happen to my body.....Felt terrible....rapid weight gain, bloated like the goodyear blimp. After undergoing some torture like tests, I was finally diagnosed with Hepatitis C. BOOM! (did you just see the floor hit rock bottom?) To confirm this diagnosis, I had to undergo a Liver Biopsy....Heard it was brutal. It wasn't too bad, until I heard the Dr. say..."Crap, I didn't get Liver tissue, you are going to have to have another one."
WAIT! You missed my LIVER!? How could they miss my liver! (yes, he did...But he got Skeletal muscle! Needless to say, I got a different doctor! Long story short...I have just finished 1 year of absolutely "happy interferon" treatments. Oh, back to the Complete miss Liver biopsy. It was so painful, (not the procedure itself, but the unwelcome burglary of my skeletal muscle) that Lulu was born. (Deep breath! I know, I'm nuts!) Lulu is my liver, and any/all bad behavior from me is due to Lulu being naughty. Interferon was a kick and a half...NOT. But hey, it's a great weight loss program! 30 pounds thank you very much! Now that I'm off of that fun stuff, (I gave myself my shots religiously every Fri night), I have gained all the weight, and more, back! RATS! Anyway, my Viral Load in currently undetectable...Lets hope it stays that way. I don't want to end up on a transplant list anytime soon. It has sent my immune system WAY down. Now My teeth are falling apart. Anyway, the moral of this first story is, Anyone can get it, but (note to my next door neighbors), you won't catch from someone just by normal contact. Now I know how many HIV patients feel. Oh, and chill out, I DIDN'T get it from unprotected ummm..activities, (trying to keep it family readable) Of course, if said neighbors start to irritate me, It might make me very mad, and well, (It's Lulu's fault.) There, now you have met, Lulu. (It also tends to make me ramble on not making any sense at all.) Oh yeah, GO COUGARS!
