Oh Harry. . .((HUGS))
Such a random horror for the poor families involved. I received a blood transfusion in 1980 after the birth of my first daughter and another in 1981 after the birth of my second. I could very well have been a statistic. Although the disease continues to devastate, I'll never forget the early days of the epidemic when so many unsuspecting victims were diagnosed. They didn't stand a chance against this monster that, until then, no one even knew existed.
Thanks for sharing your story, Harry.

You are welcome. I told Vern at lunch sometimes I think I'm still here so I can tell the stories. I'm so glad you were spared this - somehow I think the disease hit harder when it was acquired through blood transfusions. Thank goodness the blood supply is so much safer now!

Thank you, Harry.
And it is such a blessing that medical science has made such wonderful advances in regard to this disease. I remember when Magic Johnson announced his HIV+ diagnosis. That was quite a few years ago and he is still doing well. I don't think anyone had reason to be hopeful of that at that time. But now people are not only surviving, but doing well!
Keep on telling your stories, Harry! The world needs to hear them. I'll keep hoping for your continued good health.
