FREEDOM

So here it is.
The day I've been waiting for all year.
It's over.

I went in for my checkup this morning, and upon seeing how rashy I am my doc said that's that, stop interferon.

Being that I would have still had 10 shots left, I didn't believe him for a second, then I just smiled and it hit me! It's done. 


I would have done it to the end otherwise, I was set on finishing that shit, even though I am Rashy McGee and Miss Pissed.


Here is why my doc finally stopped this poison. 
(Sorry if this grosses anyone out, it's more for my archives really.)


A rash, a really really bad rash is why.



ARMS!!!


MORE ARM SCABS! YAY I LOOK LIKE A METH VICTIM!!!





HOW BOUT MY STOMACH?? YUP, IT'S AS ITCHY AS IT LOOKS!!!
(I'd show you all more but you get the picture here.)

I walked out in a daze, and the nurse lady at the counter looked at my file and said, 
"Oh wow, stop interferon! You must be happy!"

"I am just in shock right now..."

I said it was great cause I was going to have a shot tonight, and now I don't have to, then she says, well you should have a different kind of shot!

I almost don't even know what to say, this all hasn't sunk in yet.
I have been giddy, excited and completely blank today, but I have a smile on my face and can't even tell you how amazing it was to NOT get a needle in my stomach tonight. 
It is going to be hard to control myself once I have my normal taste buds back again, I am going to be eating and drinking everything. I fully expect to gain a few pounds, and probably get too drunk a few weekends in a row, fall down a flight of stairs, make a fool out of myself, eat a bunch of donair, possibly A & W, might start a riot, light fires, go looting, end up in jail...


Ha ha just kiddin' about the riot.




So I really must go back to basking in the fact that I am going to be feeling better soon and rubbing weird greasy stuff on my super itchy skin, but looking forward to going from sick to awesome by next week. I must say though, I am happy to be alive and finished the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, for my life.
