doc's appt

went to see my hiv specialist today.  my sep 2012 blood test results are as follows:

• undetectable viral load
• 460 cd4
• i have osteo...something (weak bones)

my nurse recommended that i start taking calcium and vit d supplements.  bought those today after the appointed.  i will be taking a total of 1200 mg of calcium and 1800 mg of vit d.  it's good that i'll be taking this particular vit, especially during this time of year when we don't get much sunlight in toronto.

i also told my nurse about my drug use, as well as about my losing my job.  i told her that i believe i am being followed.  i will be speaking to a social worker at the same clinic nxt week.

she asked me where i stand on my drug use right now.  do i want to stop? i told her that i do want to stop.  it's not something i want to continue.  but i need to get some stuff out of my chest first.  there's some things i need to say out loud.

i also dropped by at the housing connections office to pick up some forms.  i want to go back to the waiting list for affordable housing.  it's important, i believe, for my rehabilitation that i have my own space.

while at my doctor's, i also got rid of my used needle.  it's been in my bag all this time.  glad it's disposed of properly.
