Yes, great epitaph, tho I question the date of death (AFAIAC, death occurred as soon as the HCV was UD; it just takes a long time to get the death certificate notarized).

Anyway, congrats on joining us on the other side!

Thank you all,and thanks for the smiles this morning.It feels kind of odd right now knowing this is done,and I only have to wait on the death certificate(brilliant Gnatty :) ).Let me think about doing the story.I'm not much of a writer(I'm a artist)so it would probably come out as one long paragraph.Right now I just need a bit to screw my head and straight and get over the shell shock.This has been some kind of journey getting here.Not just for me but for all of us,and right now it doesn't seem real.I have my birthday coming up and a few things to do so I'll be back when I can.You know,the grass really is greener over here. :)

I know I've been MIA for the past 5 or 6 weeks but I was in the middle of moving into a new place and getting organized. But I had to come check on Bill since we started and ended 2 days apart.  I ended my Sovaldi/RIBA treatment on january 7th. My 8 week lab work showed some anemia but both my gastro and primary considered it borderline. ALT and AST were both at 10. End of treatment labs are being done this Saturday because I couldn't make last week's appointment. I'm not worried at all. My main concern is 12 weeks PT.  Congratulations Bill. I'll be checking back with my EOT results as soon as they're done. It feels amazing being undetectable and finally done with treatment!! Health and Godspeed to everyone on this journey
