post to sLambook...
just
went and saW a very cool person...
...at the
aides support network here in slo..
i
am elegible for the early intervention program which
will give me primary health care.. and they are really
into alternative treatments.. which is what im really
looking for.. keep my numbers down!...and keep off the
meD.s ... im fortunate at this time because perceptions
are changing now on hitting hard with meds right away..
:)
i spent over
two hours there yesturday talking to a health counselor
named terry.. and even though he wHas sTraight.. there
wHas no friction.. or didnt feel judged.. there wHas
nothing that seXual preferance differences made a difference..
other than being open and not making a huge deal out
of the difference.. i like these relationships.. where
sexual preference is not the issue and we can be ourselfs..
it allows to show many sides of us.. maybe these straight
folks aint so bad! .heh! ..
i wHas really
happy to see operations set up in this "rural"
area.. so many need this assistance.. but have to go
to bigger cities for help.. i found that there is state
funding now for more of these operations that used to
be grass-root and personally funded..
the numbers
of people with hiv here and getting assistance is much
smaller than sf.. of course.. and think im in a good
place here.. with the support and the amount of people
getting it.. less compitition i guess.. here..
but still
the compassionate people that want to help...
after yesturday..
i felt i really made the right decision.. coming here
to slo-town and not returning to my sf.. but felt sad
that i wasnt gonna be goin up to sf for my treatments
anymore.. another severe that is realized .. i have
less of an eX.cuse now to have to go up there.. i guess
it's time to realize my NEED to go there.. like seeing
geNe.. making sHure we get the time we need .. iM. joNesin'
for refuge with old fRiends.. and tRibe..
i choked
up when i called ed yesturday.. to tell him i met with
terry and that i wHas gonna have my files transferred..
i thanked him .. as i have been so gRateful for everything
that he has helped me with.. and got the number of my
doc in sf .. to thank her too.. ed said when i come
to the city .. please visit hiM.. i felt so lucky..
and definately will.. ! ..
so
yah.. been busy the last day getting back on track with
the healthtrail.. and keeping my HIV in check.. and
feels good to have found out that what i need is right
here.. i couldnt think of a better place to heal and
to gather sTrength..
we are in
the middle of my 35th cHapter now.. and the title reaDs:
tHere's no
place like hoMe.. ! .. heh! ..
It's
time to appreciate what is yours today, Sagittarius.
Take a trip with your partner into the beautiful world
that surrounds your comfortable little life. It's
probably much more harmonious than even you imagined
it to be. At work, your generous, trusting nature
attracts all the right people right now. This is the
perfect time to express your opinions to a large audience.
Tonight, learning something about another country
is on the agenda. Foreign laws and customs fascinate
you.
