Ryan, just because you're HIV positive, feeling low, getting loads of love and affection from the ENWorld community, and a Gift From Heaven bringing Peace and Love to Mankind does not mean you no longer have to do the dishes.

NO, im looking for a job. I was going to be working in the Meat Department at Kroger (insert gay man/meat jokes here). But when I got really sick, i let my manager know that my doctor wanted to hospotalize me. He wasnt thrilled and i told him to nevermind and that i would finish training and come to work.

I finish training and go in and they hired someone else behind my back. Welcome to a right to work state.

So im back to looking.

As far as getting married, as soon as we get the money. Right now things are strapped for us and I'll know Tuesday about my TCells and Viral Load. That's when i see my specialist.

To those you know me on here, know that ive been through a lot. As of Thursday, July 3, 2003, i was diagonosed HIV Positive.

I just thought you all might would like to know. Im not uber sick but i have been under the weather the past couple of weeks.

That sucks. That really sucks. And what really sucks most about that is that you seem to be such a nice guy. If I prayed, I'd pray for you, so you'll have to settle for some VERY positive vibes heading your way from England.

Ryan,

*hugs tight*

It's never an easy thing to discover about someone else, much less to find out about yourself, but as they say...adversity will make you stronger. Stay strong my friend, take comfort in the thought that there are plenty of us out here wishing you all the best and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers (and considering how diverse religiously we are, there are a lot of "gods" hearing those prayers).

*hugs again*

Stop by and say hi at Dragon*Con

Dammit!
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to put my fist through a wall. Not that I'd actually try, with all the concrete and bricks I'd break my fingers, and I happen to like my fingers....
Anyway, I wish for the best possible outcome for you, Angelsboi.
As said above by others, you're one of the good guys.

Angel, I'm with Henry on this subject, if you haven't been re-tested, get re-tested... a very close friend of mine tested positive and went to her docter for a re-test and was negative...she is still negative. If you are positive, then I understand that you can lead a very full and happy life. I know everyone here is looking forward to thousands of posts from you and a lasting friendship that you can only develop here at EN World. Good luck and God bless you and Randy.

 

[Angelsboi]

Well I have. Still positive, though, Randy is not.

I start my meds soon and Im still Sick. I exert myself half a day and im out a weak. My white blood cells are 1.6 when they are supposed to be 4.0

Thanks all for the kind words. You all mean alot.
