So, Tuesday I received the call that I was waiting on … "The blood work is back and you are HIV Positive," The person on the other end of the phone stated. You know when it was told to me I was content, neither happy nor upset. I am beginning to come to term with this new chapter. I met with the doctor and my support staff on Monday and all I can say is that the facility is awesome. Everyone was nice and supportive. I got some blood work done, a flu shot, and also some meds for my cough. In another week I go back to get my counts and the results from all the blood they took from me. Strangely enough I am enjoying this time. I was never the kind of person who was really into medicine (I had a stint in nursing but it did not last long) however now I am researching and looking forward to the visits. I get some time away from work and I am able to just relax and know that the staff is doing all the right things. The relationship is questionable still. The guy is still here; however, he does have a tendency to not be as close as before. I wonder what things would be like if this were to never happy (shoulda coulda wouldas). I just try to keep a smile on my face and keep the relationship moving in a happier direction. I know that if we can get through this then nothing can come between us. Thank you all for the support, I find a peace of mind coming here and reading everyone’s stories and knowing that I am not alone.
