Lab Results

Went to the clinic yesterday for lab results. Everything is okay. I'm undetectable which is great and my t-cell count is 111. My t-cell count has always been low.

All my organs are okay. I'm taking care of myself.

Downton Abbey

 

 

 I blame Greg. He told me about it and I watched and I was hooked. You know you're a faggot when you watch it or watch it on DVD when you got all six seasons when you support PBS.

So I know how this season ends. I won't give any spoilers unless you email me and ask. I've started watching the series from the beginning and I am amazed at characters in seasons 1 and 2 who return in later series. Julian Fellowes has got to be gay to get all these characters and incidents for six years.

I recommend this series wholeheartedly

Doctor Hottie/Fashionista

I went to the dentist the other day. Dr. Riley is the hottest man I've seen. Baby blue eyes, warm smile, and a sincere heart. I wish he were single. I don't know his status, but he's so loveable. And he gives great handshakes.

 
He gave me a compliment that made my year. He said I looked great in my outfit. I was wearing jeans, and an oatmeal sweater over a burnt orange turtleneck. And I sported a scarf neatly tied at my throat. And also a beige coloured cap that made me look Preppy.

I've always been a clothes horse and I can whip out the best outfits with what I have. Damn I'm good.

I've also gotten into a scarf fetish. I already have four and I just ordered another in grey with rainbow Texas outlines. I can hardly wait to get it.

Bloody Fall

I hope this is not an indication of my new year. Another thing about vertigo is that I walk forward like I'm gonna fall. Or I start walking at an angle. Today I was walking like I was falling.

I finally fell down on the sidewalk of the library. I felt it coming. I landed on my nose and I hurt my teeth. For the first time I bled. My nose was on fire.

Some men were kind enough to help me. They helped pick me up and that's when I noticed the blood. I have a habit of carrying a handkerchief, like my grand-father, so I had something to soak the blood.

The girls at the library were kind and gave me some napkins. I went to the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror. Not a pretty sight.

I cautiously walked to the bus stop and came home to lick my wounds. Wonder where this came from?

Vertigo

Boy where did I go? I can't remember when I wrote last.
Wish I could say all's well but I can't.

Remember a few years ago where I was falling all over San Antonio? It's back and this time I was diagnosed with vertigo. The movie is mild compared to mine.

I'll be sitting doing nothing and all of a sudden I feel it coming on. I get all sweaty, everything gets blurry, and I tingle all over. My knees also start getting wobbly and I always feel like I'm beginning to fall. Same for when I'm walking.

Falling at home is okay because I'm home and nobody can see me. The only problem is if I fall down, I sometimes wind  up unconscious on the floor. Or like the other night I fell down and hit my head on the filing cabinet before I fell. I lay about an hour before attempting to get up.

And through it all, Jean-Luc looks after me. He knows when I feel sick or when I pass out, he stays with me until I come out of it. He's a godsend and a great child. I can't believe next month means we're celebrating seven years together.

The latest is a mixture of wobbly knees and I start walking diagonally or today I was walking at a front angle like I was gonna keel over.

This activity makes me almost become a shut-in. The great thing here is that I don't go out so I don't spend. And then I was wondering why there's money left for the month.

I hope this makes up for my absence.

Fall In The Fall

Looks like it's that time again. I've begun  falling down again. This time I know it's from vertigo. Dr. gave me medication to keep it under control.

It's weird. I'll be going about minding my own business when all of a sudden the room starts spinning and my knees buckle and them poom, I'm on the floor. I've fallen twice in the downtown area.

And yes I'm falling at home. One memorable night I fell down twice. In between I kept laying down catching my breath and  waiting for the spinning to stop. Jean-Luc did the best he could. He lay down next to me and kept pawing at me. He's such a sweetheart.

I Got Carded

Eric flew into town on his broomstick last week. I haven't seen him in 20 years! We've kept in tough via email. Eric is a friend who I can hook up with after years of nothing.         

We worked together at the Central Library or the Enchilada Red Library. It was unusual for us to click because he is a librarian and I'm a low-life Circulation Supervisor.

Anyhoo, we got together Thursday for old times sake. We met at Pegasus a bar on the strip. The guy at the gate actually asked for an ID. I told  him I'm old enough to be his father. But I thanked him for asking.

Walked in the door and immediately saw him. He still looks the same. He's such a character, when he saw me his eyes opened wide and his mouth was in OMG mode. Gotta love him.

We caught up  with each other quickly. I recently gave up drinking and had a bottled water. Hard to believe. And I nursed it the whole time.

We only visited for two hours. He was on a schedule and tried to fit in  as many friends as he could. I love him. We've been through a lot together. And no, he's not HIV-. I actually speak to non HIVers.

He's gonna be here for a wedding next year and he's promised to see me.

Good-bye October

Well. It's been a while for me. My life has been on rewind for this month. My birthday came and went. Just got lab results and everything is great as always. My t-cell count went up and I'm undetectable.

That's really about it. I need some excitement in my life. Oh yeah, my psychiatrist has been asking sexual questions. He talks about sleeping around, hard-ons, kinda creepy. I felt violated. I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.

Dental Visit

I went to the dentist today. All went well. I do have and infection and got a script for that. Then I got some pain pills for my mouth. Then hunky Dr. Riley extracted two teeth and they were pain-free thank goodness.

Looks like I'll be having another partial. Gonna have difficulty keeping that partial in place. I can handle the other one.

Seems like I'm getting closer to dentures, I can handle that. I'm a big girl.

I'm just about ready for an overdue nap.

Next Bond?

For some reason, I cannot add a photo. Daniel Craig has already said his outing in SPECTRE will be his last outing as James Bond.

Rumour has it that Tom Hardy is up for the role. Tom is a handsome British actor. You might know him for the remake of Mad Max. There's also rumours that we might have the first Black Bond. We shall see.

Update

Nothing much going on. I'm in a redundant way. Nothing much going on. Everything's normal.

I did have an appointment with my HIV doctor last week. Everything is normal. My t-cell  count went down as usual and I'm still undetectable, that's always nice  to hear. My kidneys and live is doing great. Again I'm the healthiest person I know.

Nothing on the home front. Everything's the same. I did have a doctor's appointment that showed my t-cell count okay and my viral load undetectable. So that's great news. My heart, liver, and kidneys are okay.

Other new: Mike went back to work on the 24th. He's doing okay, he just not have computer access for the time being. We're keeping track of that. He's doing okay and it's a matter of waiting to hear the results of his chemotherapy and radiation. I just want him to be better and a cancer survivor. I can deal with that.

Busy Week

Wow. This has been a busy week. I've actually been out four days this week. Monday I went to SAAF to pick up my bus pass. I only pay $2 for a month of bus rides. I also went to lunch with Mike and he took me to the store afterwards. I bought lots of food. I'm gonna start watching my weight again. I feel fat.

Tuesday I went to the podiatrist. He is such a hottie with his furry chest and baby blues. He shaved about half a pound of callouses and he trimmed my toenails which were ghastly.

Yesterday I went to my psychiatrist only to find out he's out of town. I just came back home and rested.

Today I'm off for lab work. Then I'm off to the library and breakfast since I'm fasting for the labs.

I  feel rest coming on.

Please don't hate me. I got this on Facebook and I just had to post it here. It is hilarious.

Mike Update

Nothing much going on with me. I'm on routine mode.

Mike on the other hand has had some problems. He's very weak. He's still having trouble swallowing. He's in pain and very nauseous. Bless his heart.

We haven't spoken in over a week. We do text daily. I do miss talking to him. He is my BFFF after all.

Fuckable

I get a monthly haircut from my fag hag, Natalie. She lives down the hall from me and she loves to coif me monthly. I tell her I want to be fuckable and she manages to respect my wish. I am quite fuckable when she's through with me.

I love being fuckable. Really boosts up my morale. I just texted her that I'm ready for the month. Just gotta see when she's available.

Great to have a fag hag. She's real cool and yes, she's a lesbian and a great friend. I'm so lucky to have her  in my life.

Nothing Going On

Nothing much going on. I've slipped into a routine lately. I wake up and have coffee and toast. I then take my daily walk to the library. I surf the net. Then I take a nap. I have dinner then watch some DVDs. Boring. But that's life on disability.

I've been thinking of my book lately. I finally started writing. It's funny how the words just come out. I'm on chapter one and it goes until 1985, so no Barbara, you're not in it.

We'll see what develops.

Charlotte's Christening

Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was christened today. They were joined by royals and she has five god-parents. Here's Prince George in a costume reminiscent of his father when he was that age.

Ladies Who Lunch

Went to Jim's with Mike and Tony. I like it there because Mike can find something he can actually swallow. He still has trouble swallowing and can only eat soft foods.

It was a great visit and we laughed a lot of course. Mike was wearing a mask because he didn't want dust going up his throat or nose. He had cheddar soup and scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese.

Tony and I had deserts and Mike got a chocolate chip cookie for the road. Nice to have such wonderful friends. Now to find a husband...

Ladies Who Lunch

Went to brunch with Mike and Tony today. We went to Luther's who just moved across the street.

The food was great as was the ambiance. They had a live trio playing familiar tunes. The food was great except for Mike who had the Eggs Benedict and the English muffin was too tough to cut with a knife. They comped his order.

I like Luther's despite that on drawback. I would till recommend Luther's. I had the Swiss Mushroom burger that was absolutely spectacular. I highly recommend Luther's for a good eating experience.
