I got some double good news today. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had a biopsy done on my bum. First part of the good news, it came back negative. All good! The second part of that however was that there was not a trace of HPV(Human Papailloma Virus) or sometimes referred to as herpes. Which the nurse said meant it was misdiagnosis and so I never had it to begin with.
Woo Hoo!
Now if only they told me the HIV was a misdiagnosis. Well actually if I had to chose I’d rather keep the HIV and get rid of these friggin seizures. Since the HIV hasn’t caused major problems health wise.
Knock on Wood!

A Seven Letter Word That Begins With "B", That Describes Me!
I had my usual weekend over Netty & Jack’s to celebrate Mother’s Day with the family and Sean’s in-laws.
All was going well until Sean’s brother-in-law, Paul told us that we really needed to watch Extreme MakeOver: Home Edition that night. Now usually I’m a big wuss and avoid shows like this as if they were the plague. I’ll go run into another room and watch something frivolous on TV. But Paul went on to tell us the head of the Giunta family on tonight’s episode was a guy he was friendly with in college. So I felt obligated to watch.
To give a little of the Giunta’s story. The father was driving with his two boys to visit the mother in the hospital, who just gave birth to a third child (a daughter). The father got in a major car accident which left him brain dead as well as paralyzed. The two boys however were ok.
Unfortunately though their home was not handicapped accessible, so Dad had to move back in with his parents. Ever since then it was a two year struggle to get Dad back home with the family.
So the town of Maynard Mass submitted the Giunta’s story to ABC and Ty and Co. came and built the Giunta’s a new handicapped accessible home.
So I was lying there on the sofa making sure Netty doesn’t see my eyes welling up. What made me more upset is that fact, here I’ve been pissing and moaning about what I had to deal with the past couple months. Now I’m watching a show and the guy’s in a much shittier situation than myself.
So now I had to deal with these conflicted emotions. I felt lucky than my car accident wasn’t worse, but I also felt like a bastard because I’ve been moody about my less shittier ordeal.

I still have a long way to go to my own personal "extreme makeover!"
