Living Without HepC

Several people who read this blog have commented how wonderful Carol is and that she’s a ‘tower of strength’. I agree. I sometimes don’t say to her how much I appreciate what she does for me and the support she gives me. And I don’t think I have said that in this blog either. She organises and cooks my “liver-friendly” diet and I am always impressed that she knows so much about vitamins and nutrients and what “works” together. She gives me Reiki and aromatherapy treatments which really pick me up if I am low or feeling sore. She has made me a skin cream using essential oils when my skin went dry and itchy. She is knowledgeable and practical - it was Carol who spotted it was likely I had Bell’s Palsy. She takes on extra in our household when I am fatigued, which is frequently. And she puts up with me when I’m irritable.

Although it is me who is the HepC+ patient, I know that Carol is also going through this treatment - it’s not just me. I am very grateful for the support I get from her and delighted it is with her that I can share the pains and joys of this journey. She’s special and I love her. Happy Birthday Carol.
