That looks okay. My numbers are considered "consistently normal", with
only one PCR (under 100,000) in '99.

To me it's sort of like a standoff with the liver rejuvenating almost
as quickly as it's damaged. With minimal fibrosis after at least 20
yrs, it looks like some of those so-called favorable host factors have
been working in my favor, so for now, I'll do what I can to try to
keep inflammation at a minimum. Not on any meds and want to
keep it that way as long as possible.

Sounds beautiful. There've been some pretty days here lately with baby
blue skies where icy falling snow looks like glitter in the sun and
snow covered spruce trees cast those long, dark blue shadows.

When it hits 32° here, kids wear shorts.

LOL Yeah, wouldn't it be nice.
