I had anticipated starting treatment in September. Looks like I'm just about ready to start. It's now November as my title says. The wheels of medicine turn slow. I just want to get this started and over. ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/7879-Wheels-of-Medicine Once more into the breach http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/7785-Once-more-into-the-breach Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:24:42 GMT [F]I just had a meeting with my heptologist and we were waiting until the new drugs for Hep C treatment were approved, which was this May or there abouts, and I will be starting my 5th and final treatment. Or, I hope, my final treatment in September after a nice long vacation to California. Huntington Beach, Vegas, San Diego. Should be fun. Then time to start treatment. If any of you have gone through this you know how fun it is. Also hope to spend the month of March out west because It is a horrible month for me in Indiana.
That's about it for the moment.

I am just now reviewing some of the items I wrote about and thought I'd update and be a bit serious for a change.
While I seemed to do good while I was on treatment for Hep C, viral load went negative I didn't stay in remission after treatment stopped however. Latest MRI showed mild cirrhosis, so no more occasional Margaritas. There is a new drug being approved this summer and we will probably be going for one last round of treatment. My doctor is very up and optimistic about the new stuff, a protease inhibitor, for any of you who may know what that means. I have a vague idea. I'm very fortunate to have this doctor ,he is known far and wide and makes addresses to conferences, in fact they changed my appointment because he was needed to give an address at some national conference. He is a professor at Indiana University Medical Center. So once more into the breech sometime later this summer.

If any of you have Hep C and wish to talk about it please PM me. I've been dealing with this for a little over ten years now. It's really scary when one first finds out about it. So if you need someone to talk to I'm around.
Best of health to us all,(*8*)

I'm about 3 months into my Hepatitis C treatment, which is a form of self administered chemotherapy. I give myself a shot of poison (Peglated Interferon) once a week and take 6 antiviral capsules a day. The course of treatment, if successful is 18 months. So I've got 15 to go. I've been through this before so it's not new to me. However I'm having a better time of it so far. I was even working up until a bout a week ago. Kinda' glad that struggle is over with. I have a doctors' assistant that monitors my progress and I have regular blood labs and they keep a close eye on other stuff too. My baseline viral load before starting treatment was over 10 million. On my first check after starting treatment it was 6,677,000. So it's coming down. Got another check next month. ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/6102-Update Ooops.....there it went part 3 http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/5640-Ooops-there-it-went-part-3 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 04:08:44 GMT *Well I guess I better add the folks in Foxborough, MS and Boston and even New Hampshire to the list since I sort of had this thing going towards the...

Except they are probably still waiting to wake up from the nightmare. Those folks will be near suicidal. I know. I lived up that way for three years in Janesville. That is serious football country. I bet plenty were already planning their trip to the Super Bowl after the speed bump of the NY Giants. Well....Surprise..The New York Giants played a great game. And speaking of surprises. Coach Dungy announced another year with the Colts today. I guess we Colts fans will have to be rooting for the Giants since there will be another Manning in this year's SB, just not the one we were hoping for. But good luck Eli!

Saturday I went to see Martin Sexton at the same place I saw David Lindley, The Music Mill. Great night. Nearly a sellout. Martin is another one of those rare musicians that can handle a show with no one else but himself. It was just fantastic. Check him out at www.martinsexton.com His double cd album "Live Wide Open" is a great intro to him. ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/5586-Oooops-there-it-went-Part-2 Whoops.... there it went... http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/5567-Whoops-there-it-went Wed, 16 Jan 2008 05:22:04 GMT This is a post from my current Live Journal blog. Thought it about time for something a little newer.Well it wasn't such a great Sunday in Indy for a lot of folks. The Monday headline in the Indianapolis Star was "DETHRONED" in about 4 inch letters and a scathing article by one of the sports column writers. Poor Marvin Harrison had been out with an injury most of the season and the first pass he got was fumbled around the 20 yard line and we would have gone up 14 to 0. He caught the ball but was trying to do a spin around and get more yardage and the ball just came loose. And we struggled the rest of the day. Probably the last game for Coach Dungy. I think he's ready to go on and do other things. They have their son registered in Tampa Bay schools already. He has said if he quits coaching he won't be coming back to coaching. Well life goes on and the Colts will be moving to the new stadium next year. It will be interesting to see who the new coach will be. I'm guessing the Superbowl will be Packers and who else?Patriots. That will be great for my dear friend Sophia. However I have a connection to the Giants. I've actually had a Giants superbowl ring in my hands. I had a supervisor at work who was on the Giants team when they won the SB. He was one of the best bosses I've had, However he was upwardly mobile and didn't remain my boss for a long time. He's an area manager now. He's from Atlanta. I knew he had THE ring as that is one of the first gossip things you learn when you come into a department. He and I would talk often, as he and I got on well. He was very caring and concerned about me as I was going through Hepatitis C treatment at the time. Anyway he was talking with me and kind of had his arm propped up on something as we talked and he had his SB ring on and I said jokingly."Hey that's a pretty big ring there." He then took it off and handed it to me. It was really nice and BIG Their (NY Giants) ring had the Lombardi trophy made out of diamonds in the center of it on a blue background. Then there are the dates of the SB on one side and his initials on the other side. I know he wore it in simply to let me see it as he does not wear it around all the time. And no,I did not put it on. I feel that it was his ring and he earned it and no one has the right to wear it but him. I was very impressed that he would even bring it in for me to see. I don't see him too often anymore as I am in a different product line now and in a different part of the building (Our building is nearly a quarter mile long, it's huge) but he always stops and says hello and asks how I'm doing when our paths cross. I'd have to say he is one of my favorite people at work.

It has turned to a slightly rainy day and I had told my self I would go to work if it rained as I had planned to take the day off and get some badly needed back yard work done. Now as I look out the bedroom patio door and see the hummingbird feeding at it's feeder and noticing the rain dropping off I'm back in the mind of staying home. I'm very open minded and have no trouble talking myself back into staying home (:D) besides I realized I can vacuum the pool, pull weeds, etc. in the rain if need be since it is not cold outside plus the sun still has ample time to come out.

I edited this later. The sun did come out and I got some things accomplished. Yay me!

Someday http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/2637-Someday Thu, 23 Feb 2006 06:12:57 GMT I've finally gotten around to an update. I've been sleeping quite a bit lately. The Hepatitis C treatment is a lot like being on pause while life goes by. Sometimes I don't feel like doing the simplist of things. Fortunately music is a great balm for me. The album Celtic Women has some awesome uplifting music on it. I cannot get tired of it. Here are the lyrics to one of the songs I enjoy.

Someday

Someday, when we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray someday we may yet
Live to live and let live

Someday, life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
Godspeed, this bright millenia
On it's way, let it come someday

Someday our fight will be won, and
We'll stand in the sun, in
That bright afternoon
'Til then, on days when the sun
Is gone, we'll hang on
If we wish upon the moon

There are some days, dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for something better
Is the one thing we all share

Someday, when we are wiser
When the whole world is older
When we have love
And I pray someday we may yet
Live to live and one day, someday
Someday life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay

Godspeed this bright millenia
Let it come
If we wish upon the moon

One day, someday....soon

1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
rial Narrow][/FONT]
2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are "I apologize" and "you are right."

4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

5. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.

6. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her - believe them.

7. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"

8. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

9. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!

10. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.

11. Work is good, but it's not that important. Money is nice, but you can't take it with you. Statistics show most people don't live to spend all they saved; some die even before they retire. Anything we have isn't really ours; it was given to us by God; He's just letting us borrow it while we're here...even our kids. So enjoy it while you have it.

12. And finally... Be really good to your family and/or friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.[/SIZE] ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/2025-Rules-of-Life The Soul http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/1237-The-Soul Tue, 26 Apr 2005 02:59:08 GMT [This a post from one of my e-groups.

Your soul was not born yesterday, but before the annals of time as you think of timeIn your terms, you are its most latest addition. You are apart of the whole soul, but not yet aware of the greater portions of yourself. The characteristics that were yours at birth were yours for a reason. The inner self chose them. The inner self can even now alter many of them. You did not arrive at birth without a history. Your individuality was always latent within your soul.
"The pattern that is you is written first of all in the psyche, and is then faithfully decoded in your genes and chromosomes. Your you is expressed in flesh, but came first from the psyche which is beyond or outside of flesh. You are awake, alert and participating in many more realities than you know, as your soul expresses itself through you. You are a living picture in flesh of yourself or soul. You project what you think you are outward into flesh.

"It is more correct to think of the soul not as something you have rather, what you are. You frequently consider the soul as a finished thing that belongs to you but is not you. In truth your soul is the most intimate, powerful part of your inner self and is forever changing and growing. Your soul is alive, responsive, curious and in a constant state of becoming. The soul portion of you resides in other dimensions beyond the physical level. The soul portion of you is the most highly motivated, most highly energized, most potent consciousness unit know in any universe. Your soul, the soul that you are, that you are a part of, that soul is a far more creative, miraculous phenomenon that you can possibly imagine. Your soul possesses more wisdom, knowledge, information and strength than you can ever be consciously aware of.

"The soul is not something waiting for you at death, nor is it something you must save or redeem. You cannot lose it. It is indestructible. The fulfillment of the soul is not dependent upon arrivals at any points, spiritual or otherwise. Your own personality as you know it, that portion of you that you consider most precious, most uniquely you, will never be destroyed or lost. If you maintain a limited concept of the soul, then you cannot take advantage of its many abilities that are your own, and to some extent you cut yourself off from the source of your own being and creativity. The soul's abilities will continue to operate, but often in spite of what you believe rather than with your conscious cooperation.

"Your inner self knows its relationship with the soul. You think you perceive exclusively through your five physical senses, and yet you have only to extend your ego idea of reality, and you will find yourself accepting quite readily the existence of non-physical information coming from the soul portions of yourself.

"Having become aware of the true nature of the soul you can consciously begin to draw upon its greater energy, strength and understanding. In so doing your ideas concerning your own nature will change and expand, for you will have removed limitations to your growth. The wonderful results will be felt down to the smallest cells of your body and will effect the most seemingly mundane events of your life.

"You were born into a state of grace. It is impossible for you to leave it. You will die in a state of grace whether or not special words are spoken for you, or water or oil is poured upon your head. You share this blessing with the animals and all other living things. You cannot fall out of grace, nor can it be taken from you. You can ignore it. You can hold beliefs that blind you to its existence. You will still be graced but unable to perceive your own uniqueness and integrity, and blind also to other attributes with which you are automatically gifted."

"You sell yourself short if you believe that you are only a physical organism living within the boundaries cast upon you by time and space....You are a unique individual. You form your physical environment. You are part of all that is. There is no place within you that creativity does not exist." ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/1237-The-Soul Ghandi quote http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/1193-Ghandi-quote Sun, 17 Apr 2005 16:10:49 GMT Here is a statement of Gandhi that sums up clearly and concisely the whole doctrine of nonviolence: 'The way of peace is the way of truth.' 'Truthfulness is even more important than peacefulness. Indeed, lying is the mother of violence. A truthful man cannot long remain violent. He will perceive in the course of his research that he has no need to be violent, and he will further discover that so long as there is the slightest trace of violence in him, he will fail to find the truth he is searching.' Why can we not believe this immediately? Why do we doubt it? Why does it seem impossible? Simply because we are all, to some extent, liars.

The mother of all other lies is the lie we persist in telling ourselves about ourselves. And since we are not brazen enough liars to make ourselves believe our own lie individually, we pool all our lies together and believe them because they have become the big lie uttered by the vox populi, and this kind of lie we accept as ultimate truth. 'A truthful man cannot long remain violent.' But a violent man cannot even begin to look for the truth. To start with, he wants to rest assured that his enemy is violent, and that he himself is peaceful. For then his violence is justified. How can he face the desperate labor of coming to recognize the great evil that needs to be healed in himself? It is much easier to set things right by seeing one's own evil incarnate in a scapegoat, and to destroy both the goat and the evil together."

"When all the young men refuse to kill for the sake of peace, and when all the women forbid their men to kill for the sake of peace, and when you realize that no peace will come through killing, and that the end does not justify the means, and when you grow full and light with thoughts of peace, then there will be an end to war.

But as long as any men go to war for the sake of peace, there will be war. And, as long as any woman teaches her sons how to go to war because of love of the peace, there will be war. You make your world. When you populate your world with ideas of peace, then peace will grow." ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/1077-The-Truth-About-Peace Twist.....movie http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/696-Twist-movie Thu, 20 Jan 2005 06:15:07 GMT I just finished watching a movie made in Toronto I believe.

I got it because it had Nick Stahl HBO,s Carnivale in it. Strange movie. It's one of those that leaves you in that odd place you can't quite put your finger on. Unfortunately Nick doesn't even get past long underware as for any nudity. Of course it was made in the fall of the year. Everytime they were outside you could see their breath. I liked the guy that played the Fagin character. I believe his name is Gary Farmer. My main problem was all I could remember from Oliver Twist is the musical Oliver. No bubbly cheery music here though. This is the other end of the spectrum. Long droning synth sounds for continual tension. Had some good songs also. All and all I felt it was a decent movie. However I wouldn't reccomend it if you were feeling kinda' blue. ]]> Diodorus http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/696-Twist-movie Clarification http://www.justusboys.com/forum/entries/402-Clarification Wed, 24 Nov 2004 05:28:44 GMT Oh.. by the way the virgin is my blog certainly not me..
