That's great.  Glad it's working out for you, and it looks like you're on your way to undetectable.  I hope that the rest of your day and week continues on this high.

Congrats on the good news.  And good for your lab!  It takes 3 weeks to get results at my doc/lab.

Thank you all for the congrats!  My day continued to be great except for the snow!  I don't think Spring will ever get here.


Congrats on the good news.  And good for your lab!  It takes 3 weeks to get results at my doc/lab. 

It used to take about 2 weeks to get my labs back but they moved everything in house so I usually have them back in about a week!  I would have too many sleepless nights waiting that long. 

Hope everyone has a great evening and rest of the week! :)
