Re: Happy Mother’s Day, from the son you don’t claim

I'm going to go ahead and approve the comments. They are important to the whole of the story. Yes, I did have to get bailed out of jail. Yes, I stole from my mother. These are things I have come to terms with for many years. And yes, I wasn't a part of my niece and nephew's life. I wasn't a part of any of my family's life. Hell, I've got nieces and nephews that I don't even know.

I didn't write this post to come off as some holier-than-thou saint. I was a horrible kid, and I freely admit that. Hell, I'm a pretty shitty adult. I continue to make mistakes to this day.

Monica, people are a product of their environment. I'm sure there are much better people in this world that were brought up in much worse environments as well as the opposite. I still haven't come to terms with the fact that *I* and only I have destroyed my relationship with my daughter. It haunts me everyday, but there's a part of me that thinks that if people are a product of their environment, I wouldn't want her to turn out like me. I miss her dearly and I don't even know her, much less know how to get to know her. I'm more scared now than I was when she was born, and I didn't think that to be possible. And as far as my mother is concerned; SHE'S MY MOTHER. She should understand that it was a VERY difficult time in my life, and most of all, she should learn a little forgiveness. That goes for the rest of my family as well. I have tried to do right in my life and I have gotten ZERO recognition for it. I have "paid my debt to society" for my bad decisions, but that side of my family asks of too much. No body's perfect, and maybe people should start looking in the mirror and see their own faults before they shun one of their own.

BSL, I know I wasn't a part of your or your brother's life after about 1998. Once I was shunned by my family, I turned my back on them just as their backs were turned on me. Unfortunately, the kids got caught in that crossfire. For that, I'm forever sorry. I know it's not easy to mend a relationship that's been non-existent for the majority of your life, but I'd like to try.

Greg it's ashame that you have posted this familt conflict here. You have glossed over your teenage behaviorm why don't you tell your readers about the money you stole from your widowed mother or the times your parents had to bail you out of jail. How about the daughter you never help supportm I know your mother was a very hard woman to live with because I saw a lot of it being her neice and always felt bad about you being the black sheep of the family but remeber you brought a lot of shit down on your own head. I hope you have finally found a happy life and wish you well in the future

Genotype 2.

Re: About

Adam — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 10:00:30 -0000

What genotype?

Re: Day 5 – New video and info on Genotypes

Greg Ledet — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:35:52 -0000

They should not have a problem checking your Genotype. If they can tell you have the virus, they can tell what genotype it is. I know the feeling about not having money and insurance. If you contact the drug company, all of them have programs in place to help you out by giving you the drugs for free if you qualify.

Re: Day 5 – New video and info on Genotypes

Brenda — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:22:47 -0000

I was told today that my blood work would not show my genotype, so i was not able to be used in the trial, I have no insurance so was hoping i could get the medication.
My liver enizines are slightly elevated.
Do you no if that means I dont have enough of the virus in me so they cant get a genotype? im confused!

I don’t think Brett Favre or Kurt Warner want to see the Saints again for quite awhile. Stats don’t mean shit if you can’t protect your Quarterback or if you allow yourself to be FORCED to turn over the ball.

That’s Great. I know it’s a tough Journey but hang in there, if you can.

Re: Sleeping the week away and no appetite at all

Greg Ledet — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:24:59 -0000

Oh, yeah... I posted about that. Less than 43, so in other words, they can't find the virus. The one I just took is a quant, so it'll look for less than 10.

Did you do a 4th week PCR? If you did what were the results?

Re: Sleeping the week away and no appetite at all

Greg Ledet — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:53:55 -0000

I just had labs done on Monday. I haven't got the results yet...

Greg Ledet — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:16:58 -0000

I'm currently battling Hep C. Recent blood test looks positive though, as the virus is currently undetectable in my body. That doesn't mean that I'm "cured", just that there's a good chance that it may not bother me anymore. So in that sense, the prognosis looks good.

As far as the dry eyes, I'm still dealing with that. Along with the dry skin and dry mouth. That's one of the side effects of the treatment that I'm undergoing though, nothing to do with the virus itself. Luckily, my thyroid is looking fine according to all the blood tests I've had recently!

I was actually hoping for the Saints to loose. They needed a wake up call. If they would have played all 4 quarters of the last three games the way they played the 4th quarter of the last 3 games, they would have all been blow outs. We can’t afford to go into the play offs depending on a fourth quarter miracle. One lose and it is all over with. We still are in the play offs; we have a first round-bi, and still have a good chance for home field advantage.
