Archive note: This post was written in 2009 and reflects the language, medical advice, treatment options, and personal circumstances of that time. HIV care and understanding have changed considerably since then. The post has been preserved as part of the historical HIVBlogger archive and as an honest record of my experience at the time.

Well yesterday was busy so there was no post. Hope this did not worry anyone. I had lost of things to do, from meeting friends to going to a meeting in the evening. At least I’m keeping busy. Though the shock is still there at being diagnosed HIV+. While friends have been great at supporting me – it’s begining to sink in quite what has happened.

Food
The first recipe was used successfully yesterday for breakfast, and today I hope to make something else for tea.

Jelly bean test
Jelly beans have run out. But I’ve been remembering the times. But this morning I succumbed and have put alerts in my phone just in case. Maybe I will get annoyed by the alerts and delete them. But for now I will cope with them.

Drugs
Yesterday was a drug free day. Today it’s another Septrin® day. So 2 of those again to be taken.
