The battle begins...
So I get a call from my Dr. today to tell me MORE bad news.
She starts off by saying I'm HIV negative (which I knew... I always play very well with others) then she says "but you have Hepatitis B." I freak out. I was under the impression that it was an STD, and it kinda sorta is, but in my case it's not. My liver is bad, I mean REALY bad. So this test was important. Hepatitis B can pretty much lead to liver failure, and with my condition, that's not a good thing. The last time I took the Hepatitis test was last November when I had my physical done for my job with the county. All my tests came back negative (I almost didn't pass the physical because of my heart attack in October...ugh... I wonder if I can trade in my body for a new one). So I some how got Hepatitis B from November till now... That's what's freaking me out. To my knowledge Scott's all nice and healthy.
In October I had an angioplasty done, and there was no blood transfusions at the time... So I'm stumped. My Dr. did say that I've already develop protective antibodies and that my Hepatitis B is way under control. Now I have to have Scott get a vaccine to prevent him from getting Hepatitis B. I feel even more icky thank ever. My Dr. said that it's a very common disease and that most people don't even know they have it... that scared me.
Great, now I have Cancer and Hepatitis B to deal with... Bring it on!
I'm not a very religious person, but my mom said that "God would never give you anything you couldn't handle". I've never prayed so much in my life for strength and more so for Scott to come back nice and healthy. It would literally kill me if I did anything to make him sick. I'm trying to be positive about this and my Dr. said that he's most likely going to come back negative. (we kinda don't have sex anymore...)
People, please go get checked every year. More so for the people you love and for the safety of others.

Honey you will be fine! and your mom is right, God would never give you anything you can't handle. We will get through this together!
Next time this year we will look back at this and be grateful that we have our health and look forward to live with a new found perspective enjoying every day we have.
