A New Beginning

Where shall I begin today? How about … today is the beginning of the 4^th week of treatment for my Mom’s Hepatitis C (which the doctors found while playing out their own version of House). Did you know that you could get it from the blood supply pre-1984, or from a tattoo, or from another IV drug user? Well, a couple of pints and two tattoos (go on, say it 3 times fast), later, here we are – pills twice a day and injections once a week. Worst thing yet though is… (

) no drinking for the full 48 weeks of treatment. The cool thing is that with treatment, my Mom stands a good chance of being cured. This comes with some kind of umbrella drink I believe (or so she keeps saying). What’s an umbrella drink?

So I guess this means we’ll be playing more. I’m always up for that. Always!

Sniffin’ your ears …
