August 22, 2018 Wednesday Afternoon

Today I started new HIV / AIDS medication.  I was taking Epzicom and Viramune (in generic form).  Last night I took my first dose of Biktarvy, a new one day pill to replace the two I was taking.  It is suppose to be cleaner and less side effects as the other two.  I was just happy to see how much smaller the one pill is to the other two I was taking.  Sad to say I did wake up this morning throwing up bile, which I was hoping would change with this new drug.  Time will tell.  Here is a picture of the two HIV AIDS drugs I was taking and the new drug Biktarvy.

It has been a while since I posted or update my blog.
I saw my HIV doctor today and got my new numbers, they are posted with my post numbers.  Both the doctor and I are happy with how things are going at the moment.  I was informed about a new one pill a day that could replace my two pills, Epzicom and Viramune.  I will begin the new one pill named Biktarvy.  I am hoping it gives me some relief from the vivid dreams and the rashes on my body. 

The biggest news since I posted last is the passing of Vito.  Vito died March 28.  He would have been 15 years old this August.  He was my blind diabetic dog that I had to carry out and take very good care of.  It was quick.  I think he had a stroke.  Putting a pet down is the hardest thing anyone can do and the fact I have done it seven other times didn't make this time any easier.  The only thing is you know what to expect and what steps to take.  I miss Vito every day.

Life is otherwise going well.  Too fast.  Each day seems to go faster than the day before.  Tony still takes Rose to work daily.  I walk the other five a couple times around the block each day for them and for me.  I enjoy the walks just as much as they do and walking kept my Grandma alive to the age of 98.  Tony and I are doing good.  He is still working on settling his sisters estate which should end soon.  It is an undertaking I don't wish on anyone who didn't make out a will.  The dogs are all healthy and happy.  Blackie has become more friendly with each day.  I could not have wrote a better plan on having a cat in a house with all these dogs better.  She is a once in a lifetime cat.  I sleep on the pull out couch nightly with her, Bo and Casper.  They are the only two dogs that don't want to eat her.  Tony sleeps with the other four dogs in the bedroom.  I can now hold her.  I even put a collar with a bell on her this past week to stop her from bringing me mice and birds as presents on a daily basis.  I am happy we have Blackie in our lives.  Domino, the other cat I fixed and released still comes daily too for food.  He comes as far as in the front porch, but does not come into the house like Blackie does.

So life is going good.  I still can not believe the daily crap from our President and the people working for him.  Thankfully there are many like me who will vote in November.

PLEASE STOP POSTING CURES FOR HIV OR AIDS.  WHEN ONE IS FOUND I WILL BE THE FIRST TO POST ABOUT IT.  YOUR POSTS WILL BE DELETED SO STOP WASTING YOUR TIME.

I was asked to put this link on my blog.  It seems like a great source for help with HIV for college students.

January 19, 2018 Friday Morning

Hello.  It has been a long time since I posted to my blog.

Life is going along pretty good.  We still have all seven dog and all are happy and healthy.  So anyone who thought I couldn't keep seven dogs safe, fed and happy should be ashamed of yourselves.  We also now have the black cat we fixed in June living in our spare bedroom.  Since we saved her and her four babies she has taken to us.  We started feeding her out front and soon she was living on our front porch.  She became so tame she now spends most of her time in the house with the dog and us.  Vito and Bo love the cat and spend as much time as possible with her.  The other dogs are a fence away and seem not be bothered.  Life is good.

We did have the passing of Tony's sister Sandy about four months ago.  It has not been easy since Tony took it on himself to be personal representative to settle her estate since she didn't have a will.  It is not easy when someone doesn't have a will. We are in the process of trying to sell her house.  We finally got it cleared out.  She was a hoarder. 

I posted my latest blood results.  Things seem to be going along pretty good health wise.  Besides the normal colds and flu, knock on wood, I have been doing pretty good. 

Tony and I are doing great.  We will be celebrating 29 years together this March. 

I continue to check comments and will delete any comments about fake cures for HIV and AIDS.  There is no cure and I will not post fake news.  If a real break through comes around I will be the first to post it.
