Random thoughts from Interferon Week 2

Jonathan Markham

· My first experience of depression and fatigue and I do not like it never thought I would have to take anti depressants!

· The realization dawned that this is the first week in January and some form of treatments stretch ahead for a year. Seems like a mountain to climb!

· How grateful I am that God has given me such good health for the first 57 years of my life

· Strange to receive a call from a doctor at 2:30 am asking that we visit the emergency because of a strange reading of my potassium level in a blood test the day before. Thank you God everything was ok just a hemolysed reading (Never thought I would use that word in a blog!!)

· How good it was to laugh really hard with friends on Thursday evening

· The 21 day fast is confused by the fact that nothing tastes the way it should to me and so I don’t really want to eat anything

· Not a good idea to park on the street outside Kaiser South San Francisco. My step-daughter was kind enough to drive to my treatment on Thursday and some body totaled her car while it was parked!

What a blessing to have leisurely conversations with friends who are good enough to sit with me during treatment

Its Done!

It’s done! It took me just about 120 days because I slowed up at the end, but I finished as I read the final chapters of Revelation in the early morning of the first day of 2010. It sure has been an ...
