My Liver is Fat

Posted by: appleboyde on: November 1, 2009

So this week after having a CT scan of my liver I find out I have a fatty liver. This could be caused by my antivirals but we are not sure yet. I will be seeing my Dr. later this month to talk about how we are going to approach this. What [...]

My Chapel Talk from Sunday September 27th 2009

Posted by: appleboyde on: October 3, 2009

Find below the chapel talk I did last week where I work.  It was in front of about 250 people.  We had a great service and then a great walk for the 2009 AIDS Walk here in Delaware.  I have changed names to protect myself and those around me.  Enjoy!

Good Morning!  Today is the AIDS [...]

Great News!

So I hardly ever talk my numbers on here. So I figure that I should share what HAART can do! My first Viral Load was 750K+ and my CD4 was 160. This was about 4 years ago. I just got back my recent lab work from the great Dr. Hines and [...]

The other thing that is bothering me

Posted by: appleboyde on: June 4, 2009

I figure while I am on things that are bothering me I am going to share and get out my feelings about my current health issue.  I was given a lovely extra gift with my HIV nearly 5 years ago.  About 6 months or so after finding out I had HIV I found out I [...]

I think I know what my problem is

Posted by: appleboyde on: June 4, 2009

So there is a time in my life where I know I was happy and everything was right.  That was back in 2000.  I had a job that I loved and it was a job I figured I would be at for a long time.  I am one of those people that music has a [...]

My Mortgage Nightmare

Posted by: appleboyde on: March 22, 2009

So I have been thinking about AIG the last few days and how this angers me. I am not asking for the government to bail me out. I am doing what I have to do to take care of me. I am filing Chapter 13 and giving my condo back to the [...]

Personal Mortgage Crisis Part 2

Posted by: appleboyde on: November 21, 2008

So yesterday I get home to find a response letter from the mortgage company that reads:
Dear Customer: (Notice it just says customer? Another sign they don’t give a shit)
Your request for a Mortgage Retention was received and reviewed by our Loss Mitigation Department as well as the Mortgage Investor (I bet this investor is so freaking rich that [...]

So I did it!!

Posted by: appleboyde on: July 22, 2008

I called the guy again tonight that I met Saturday and we talked some more. He is amazingly smart at so many things. He captures my interest like a storyteller captures their audience. During this conversation he said something about not dating. I asked why and he said no one ever [...]

I am fine!

Posted by: appleboyde on: June 9, 2008

The endoscopy was fine and dandy. They found nothing wrong. I will just keep taking the prescription to keep the acid down. So that is relief that there is nothing wrong.

Are people really nuts?

If you don’t think HIV stigma still exist check this out.  I was reading on http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/051508dnmetspit.2fc6bdb.html about a guy that was sentenced to 35 years in prison for spitting in the eye and open mouth of a Dallas police officer.  The possibility of HIV being passed via saliva is extremely low if not non existent.  I find this quit ignorant.
