Happy New Year!

There IS a light...

I now see the completion of treatment as a visible light in the distance.

As I enter week 43 of the HCV Triple Therapy I feel a sense of anticipation mixed with relief.  I have to admit, I am also experiencing fear of the unknown.  "What am I going to do when all of this is completed?"


I will need to generate new work in my area of experience and training, along with a comfortable income and full medical insurance. It needs to be something that I love to do in a caring, healthy community... but for now, I need to keep reminding myself NOT to get ahead of the process.  My belief in how everything has its own time and rhythm slows me down when I allow my thoughts to get too far ahead. 
  

What I do believe is good for me right now is making some plans as to what I can do to celebrate the completion of this milestone.  I have a few ideas that I would like to discuss with my children and a couple of friends who have been right by my side through this process.  One is to have an intimate ceremony. During it, I would like to light some balloon lanterns (one for each month of treatment) to honour what has taken place and the people who helped me through the journey. The lanterns will also represent lighting the way for new beginnings.

Life is good!

Until next time,

Deborah
