1:17 am

Blaze

hello Nef and hello to all.... I never much liked gin i was a vodka and kaluha person...

1:17 am

Nef

I'm trying to get rid of JUNK around here; we plan on selling this house in about 2 years and I'm starting NOW to get it ready to sell (I want to enjoy some of the fixed up place myself

1:18 am

Blaze

Nef that is good thinking...

1:19 am

Nef

I can't hold my liquor; 2 drinks and I'm asleep under the table; then sick the whole next day

1:19 am

Blaze

I don't drink at all.... not for many many years....

1:20 am

Nef

took me about 10 years to figure that out, so now if I have a drink in 2-3 months that's a LOT for me

1:21 am

flosey

for sure Nef, great to get at it early and think about what you want to get rid of/keep - you must be a well organized person

1:21 am

Blaze

I was given Hep c in a blood transfusion and my liver can not handle alcohol or many other things.

1:21 am

mymuseisme

nite everyone

1:21 am

Blaze

nite mm

1:21 am

flosey

1:22 am

Nef

re: the house; we've owned 2 other houses in the past and did all of this work just before selling. This time I want to enjoy it too

1:22 am

flosey

g'nite mymuse, I'm about to turn in also

1:22 am

Nef

no tylenol for you I guess {{Blaze}}

1:23 am

Nef

nite mymuse and flosey

1:23 am

Nef

nite mymuse and flosey

1:23 am

flosey

we lived in last home for 30 years and collected so much 'stuff' - from Ontario to BC meant get rid of a lot of it

1:24 am

Blaze

flosey.... it was really horrible at first when I found out in 1993,.,, as I am O neg and had been a great donor too... part of the cycle so to speak. I live with it and have kept reasonably well... even did a year of treatments.. and now looking forward to by big cheque from the Fedral government.... will not hold my breath though

1:24 am

Nef

my house is NOT organized; both kids have moved out and in and out a few times and they left stuff each time

1:24 am

Nef

why a check from the governemnt?

1:25 am

Blaze

Class action suit against them for letting it happen... the provincial government and the red cross have settled and the feds too but the cheques won't be issued for a while....

1:26 am

Nef

they weren't screening well enough or what?

1:26 am

Blaze

somewhere between a few hundred and a few thousand... not near as much as the 3000.00 a month I paid for one year for treatments

1:27 am

Nef

plasmaapherisis?

1:27 am

Blaze

there was a certain time frame that most country's were not screening properly... but the .98 extra was too much for them to okay...

1:27 am

Blaze

Nef what is that word?

1:29 am

Nef

spelt wrong (of course) plasmapheresis is a type of treatment for cleaning toxins out of the blood. But it probably isn't used for Hep C

1:30 am

Blaze

the drugs was a combo called pegatron... it was almost like a chemo treatment... like having flu for a year.

1:30 am

Nef

I was trying to think of what type of treatment you would have had that would cost so much 10 years ago and that popped into my head

1:31 am

Blaze

this was only three years ago....

1:32 am

Nef

okay; my hubby has M.S. and 1 of his meds costs $1400/ month (thank goodness he has health insurance

1:32 am

Blaze

we did end up getting some help with costs.... thank goodness.

1:33 am

Nef

that's good

1:34 am

jillibus

Oh dear, Blaze - just tuned in again - what a bummer. Good luck from now on!

1:35 am

Nef

love your icon, Jilli :)

1:36 am

Blaze

Oh I am good to go for a long while.... the virus is uncountable and will stay that way.... I just need to keep watch... and now that I can't keep up with the speedy kids... LOL

1:37 am

Nef

Blaze, I once heard Naomi Judd speak to a nursing convention and she is a strong believer in complimentary medicine and a positive attitude

1:37 am

jillibus

Thanks, Nef! And all the best with your hubby's MS - it's a bummer too - hope the meds help

1:37 am

Blaze

You bet... I totally agree.... just accepting that it is normal for you and to heck with everyone else is good too.

1:37 am

Nef

the meds help; he takes an awful lot of them
