Hi Everyone,
You are all so amazing, I can't really put it into words. I can feel, in my heart, your thoughts and the power of those thoughts. It is extraordinary. I am so blessed to have known all of you, experienced your joys and laughter. I am a better person for all of you.

I had the amazing joy of talking to our Miss Melia today on the phone. She is wonderful, kind, empowered, funny...Hearing her voice, and talking to her has helped me gain more insight into the past few days.

I am not ready to give up. My heart is not ready. My body may fail me, and I imagine that is what will happen, but I am not going to go gentle into the good night. I might be in denial about what will happen over the next few months, and maybe that is a way of coping right now, and I think for now that is okay.

I called the doctor, and told them I am still going to take my hiv meds, and for now use pain meds as needed at home. When hospice starts, I want, at least for now, to remain at home.

What my body does, it does, but hiv is not taking my heart or my spirit. It is going to have to fight me for those, and it better be prepared, because I can be a real bitch when I want to be.

Melia, thank you again. You were my angel today.

Christine

I've quoted all of your update so that no-one misses it in your edited original post.

Dear Christine

No need for thanks. You lifted my heart today too. You are a sweet, extraordinary and courageous lady.
It was an honour chatting with you...and boy did we chat! :D

Looking forward to our next one...meanwhile, give some more thought to that 'goal' you mentioned. ;)

Love & hugs

I try to be an uptight S.O.B. during the daylight, but I read this post this morning at my work desk and I went numb for the rest of the day. I even had a meeting, then had to text-page a doctor with "u need2get ur ass in here & work on ur charts," because she's such a pup she has to be texted like a kid, but I was numb against the sadness I felt.

I understand that you might have felt ready, but if your heart is telling you to hang on, I am joyous for that!  

Trek on, Baby, and keep telling us what's going on.

Jan's words ring true, but I think weaker sex is when you only have the energy to say "F--- you," instead of pushing them off of you.

Be a duck. Let the water "roll off" of you.

I admire your courage to state what you are feeling, and even more for being a duck. You are an inspiration, Christine!

Like Creighton said, Dear Christine, You are an inspiration to so many of us here. When I was first diagnosed in '84 I was told I was gonna die. My shrink and I were talking. I asked her how long I had to live.

"Jeff ole buddy" she paused and looked me square in the eyes. "Expect to live forever." Those words were comforting me ever since. I hope it helps you my dear.

You are respected and loved by many in here. You are awesome.

Loads of love to you sweet lady!

Dearest Christine,

First of all, know that you are loved here by every single soul.
I hope you can let us form a circle of love and light in which you can feel safe to go.
Think of it as a bright lifting energetic cloud that will embrace you, enlighten you and help you transit, when you are ready.
We are all connected, much more then we can possibly know with our limited knowledge.

Souls, spirits, hearts and above all energies never die. They only let go of their earthen shape, our body.

May you find the peace and the strength to make your transit in serenity.

We will all follow sooner or later and be reunited, free of HIV.

Sending my brightest, most healing, humble energy

In love

Herman

I have already asked my lover JP to be there for you.

Hello Christine,

May the comfort of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ give you comfort through these difficult times. Just know - All of us feel your pain and sorrow.  I just want you to remember this. "The grass withered; The flower fadeth, but the word of our God - Shall stand forever!"  Just pray precious and I know God does answer prayers!!!  We love you and I WANT YOU TO FIGHT UNTIL THE BITTER END!!!


I don't know what more to say right now. My hands are shaking and it is hard to type. I just wanted to let you all know things are not going well. I have decisions that need to be made.

i thought death would be different. More decisive, peaceful. But I find that it is not for me. The numbers, the lab results say one thing, my body screams enough, but my heart does not want to leave.

I don't know what to do. I am so tired of being sick, I've lost almost 20lbs in the past few months. A few months ago the doctor talked to me about doing things I have always wanted to do...do it now, don't wait. I wanted to see Disney World. I know it is silly, but I wanted to be a little girl again, and not be sick, and feel like magic and dreams are real. My husband made it happen. It was wonderful. I wasn't sick that week.

But it has gotten worse since then, more bad than good days. I didn't know if I should tell all of you. I don't want anyone to worry or be fearful.

I don't know what is the right thing to do. I just want it go away.

Christine

I really don't know what to say, so I'll stick to what I usually talk about around here- clinical trials. I don't know in what city you are, but perhaps you may want to contact any of the locations handling Virionyx's PEHRG214 trial. There are 5 locations, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Iowa City, and New York City. Check: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00385567?order=1 , and http://www.virionyx.co.nz/internal.aspx?mode=15&mast=mast7.jpg . I believe they had a compassionate release in the past which worked very well, hence their present trials. J. All my best to you, and hoping fervently to hear better news from you! J.

p.s. the following just came out on 6/1/07. I don't know if you are already taking any of the medications mentioned in the article, but I just wanted to share this info with you. Hope it helps!: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/05/070531191057.htm

Christine, I'm sorry to hear things are so tough.

Most people, they think hospice/palliative care, they think last bus stop.

Me, I think of another team of health professionals, ace at managing complicated bundles of chronic symptoms - like fatigue, nausea, pain etc - & providing support for the emotional challenges that accompany, in whatever setting works best for you.

The fat lady, she ain't singing, throat's playing her up. When clouds seem heaviest, plan more trips to Disneyland. Or Sea World. Or wherever the most smiles are  :)

Hi Christine,

We haven’t had contact before so please forgive my clumsy words.

I am saddened to learn about this stage of your life, but you're not gone yet and I am delighted to read that you will refuse to let HIV take your spirit. When I was diagnosed and the doctor told me to go home and prepare to die, for some reason I felt determined at that moment that no matter what I had to face ahead that HIV would never take my spirit. That’s our essence, and it’s untouchable.

I believe that not all power can be seen, and so I pray that you will experience all those “Disney” moments and more for as long as your body lets you.

Strength and love (if I may) to you Christine,

Daniel

Christine...

                 I was there when David went on hospice and the one thing for sure I learned from that experience was that giving up is not an option...
Once David gave up and God help me I saw it in his eyes.....I knew it was only a matter of time.  The power of positive thinking is now required.  Do
what you must to settle your affairs (I've done that already myself) but keep your courage and fight it sweetie.  Even if you don't feel like eating....
EAT.....even if you're tired and want to stay in bed....GET OUT OF BED AND MOVE if you physically able.  CONCENTRATE ON THE POSITIVE
and leave the negative for others to ponder.  Give it all you have and then some.....   And when the time comes and you'll know when it does...
Embrace it as you would a lover.  That's my advice...  You're in my prayers sweetheart :-*
