Learning to live with hep c,sometimes its easy,sometimes hard,diagnosed 2 years ago-bombshell,and lots of hard decisions,do you tell your partner-of course you do.Worries of how she will take it and how to.protect her and children from accidental transmission.Ignore or treat disease??And you scratch endlessly and bleed,and realise how dangerous your blood now is.But then you have to think how lucky you are-other things are worse than this,and sometimes you mentally crash and feel dirty and diseased.But-if you can still roll down a sand dune in summer,and marvel at the transitory beauty of a butterfly,and enjoy a can of beer with your mates,and think-b*ll*cks to it!I guess you're doing alright! ;-)
