I took the last of 72 weekly Hepatitis C therapy shots this past Saturday! I can't tell you how great it is to be finished. I've not had a drop of alcohol since October, 2005. I'm still waiting for the green light to have a glass of wine, but more than that, I'm just looking forward to feeling good again. It's been a long haul.

It is indeed a long haul for patients, but it beats the alternative. I certainly hope your count allows you to indulge in wine again. I know I speak for everyone in wishing you the best.

Way to go gal!

Fanfare indeed! Congratulations.
Sort of like when my youngest nephew (only four then and now in his thirties) had to do a series of rabies shots (very painful in those days) because a cat bit him on Mother's Day and the three brothers couldn't agree for certain on what cat had attacked him so they did the shots as a preventive measure. He celebrated with ice cream and cake when the final shot was over.

Wonderful news, Georgie-grl! You've got some catching up to do in the vino dept. We're mighty happy for you!

Congrats on finishing the shot, no mean feat. A glass of OZ tawny port will be hoisted in your honor this evening.

So, Georgie, are you back with us wine-slugging fools???

This is really great news, Georgie!! I can't wait to see you posting TN's again.

I haven't gotten the green light for alcohol yet, but soon, I hope. I also finished the last of 3024 pills I had to take, and I feel simply MARVELOUS! I keep waiting for that usual "yuk" feeling to wash over me and it's just not happening! Glory Hallelujah!
