5/26/09: The missed appointment

I have skipped appointments too. But I wouldn’t miss the appointment that was going to tell me that my CD4 count is too low and I need to start treatment for the HIV virus that is taking control of my body. I have missed appointments too. But I wouldn’t miss the appointment that would tell me that my liver is starting to fail but I can’t receive treatment for my Hepatitis C because my HIV CD4 count is too low and my body can’t handle both treatment regimes at once. I don’t think I will ever miss an appointment again.
