Yeah, it’s been a long weekend. Between taking my injection on Friday, the Saints losing on Saturday, and a ton of drama yesterday, I haven’t had time to do anything. Besides, I’ve been feeling like hell and my wife can still barely walk after her surgery.

I took my 5th injection on Friday. The wife was nice enough to give it to me in my right thigh. I get tired of jabbing myself sometimes and since she was here, and she’s a doctor, she did it for me. The injection site didn’t hurt as bad as the last thigh injection. I’m assuming that I did something wrong last time, but at least the meds are in my body.

I’m still a little sad about Saturday. I can’t believe that the Saints lost to the Cowgirls! I honestly thought that we were going to go 16-0. One good thing is at least they don’t have the pressure of being perfect anymore. They can just win out, end the season 15-1, and go on to the Superbowl!

Sunday was a nightmare. I had asked a friend of mine to work for me as a subcontractor, and it just started a whole bunch of shit. I now know why they say that you can never work with friends. It always starts shit. I don’t take that stuff personally, but it still aggravates the hell out of me.

Today I had to go to the hospital to get some blood work done. I get to go see the doc on the 29th and find out if this treatment is actually doing anything. I know that I’m having a viral load done, so I should find out for sure if the treatment is killing the virus. I’m kinda nervous to go to the doctor though. I don’t want to go there and find out that I’m going to have to go through 48 weeks of treatment rather than 24 weeks. I don’t think I could take 48 weeks. Losing my weekends every week for a year? Oh, HELL NO! I’m too active to have that shit happen. It’s already killing me knowing that the only reason I’ve left the house in the past month was to go to the hospital or go to the store for smokes. I’ve been thinking about driving down to Columbus to go hang out at the cigar shop or go do some comedy, but I just haven’t had the energy to get out and do it. I know that I’d make it half way there and just end up turning around and coming back home. I’ve had quite a few people invite me to go do stuff and I’ve just had to turn them down. I need to start feeling better soon though because my best friend is coming to visit on the 30th. I want to be able to actually go do something on New Year’s Eve!

Well, let’s just hope that this pain subsides and I can make it through this. I’m at the point already that I’m just taking this one injection at a time. The Riba-rage has been coming through me and I’ve been bitching at everyone about everything. I’m always pissed off at something. I know that this is a side effect, and those around me know the side effects too, but sometimes it gets too bad for them to handle.
