This Page is Dedicated to all of my Hep C Sisters and Brothers who've made the choice to fight the
dragon thru treatment. It isn't an easy decision to make, and one that's none too pleasant. The
side effects can be brutal, and often there are harmful results. However . . . it's a choice that
helps us feel that we are taking back some power over this life threatening disease.
May each and every one of us go PCR non-detected tomorrow making our decision to fight fire with
fire worth it. Together we can do this . . .
RIDE THAT DRAGON !!
THE SLAYERS
From near and far we have come to assemble. All sizes and shapes, all colors and ages. We come here
today, to prepare to do battle, we fight side by side, man, woman, and child. We are dressed all in
armor, from our head to our toes.
Our armor is special, precious metals are used. Thy are Knowledge, Love, Laughter and Anger. But
there's one more metal most precious of all. Faith is that metal, both precious and strong.
The war with the dragon has already begun. The dragon is wiley, a hard foe to beat. We will keep up
the battle, won't call for defeat. When ere his breath comes to rest upon us, we shall take up our
arms and give him our best. And though we may lose many battles to come, we shall never stop
fighting . . .
WE WILL WIN THIS WAR!
If you should falter or fall to your knees, remember the metal most precious of all. Remember dear
slayers, faith will conquer! With Faith, the dragon shall soon take a fall. The dragon will someday
be nevermore.
A WORD FROM HAGAR (Click Here)
We're Coming to Destroy You Dragon !!
Of looks, brains and vanity, I have not a care, cause I'm on Interferon and I'm losing my hair.
I'm cranky and mean, gettin' good with an axe, but it's under control 'cause I've got my Xanax!
My belly and legs look all red and diseased, where I stick in the needle and pump those CC's.
My friends and my family now know to steer clear, on the day after shots I could rip off an ear!
I love you, I hate you, you ruin my days, but you might be helping, though my brain's in a haze.
I'd rather be dreaming, just lying in bed, with pillows so soft, gently caressing my head.
And be able to recall all the things that I said and the things that I did and forget all this dread.
It's sad and it's hopeful, it's starving and fed, it's wonderous and hurtful, and truly mislead.
It's the love of my life that I never will wed, but without Interferon, I could damn soon be dead !!

Sometimes, when I dial a phone number, by the time someone answers I forget who it was I was calling.
Sometimes, when I write a note to myself to answer a call or a letter, I forget where I put it.
Sometimes, I have to check if my toothbrush is wet to know whether I had already brushed my teeth that
morning.
Sometimes, on my way home I drive right by my house and only notice it a few blocks later.
Sometimes, I forget whether I meant to say something or whether I have already said it.
But often, I remember the kind words, the sweet smells, sunlit days, a tender touch, a book I loved, music,
a picture, a special event.
I guess I remember more than I forget

Many thoughts, prayers and love here alsoto those who have chosen other ways of fighting their dragons.
And especially to those who have run out of ways to fight.
Godspeed to all those souls who have fought and lost this battle, as they move into the next life that is
hopefully dragon free . . . Peace

I may never see tomorrow, there's no written guarantee
And things that happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past,
I have just the present moment, I must treat it as my last.
I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
and be lost forever, as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.
The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance on bended knees to pray,
and I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this Day.
