Hello Everyone!!
I am excited to attend the panel today! I wasn't able to go to the women's, since I had to take my father to a doctors appointment. I am excited. I really don't know what to expect, but I do know that it will be emotional and surprising. This week I was looking to finish the blog log. I know I needed to log everything down. I did. But I can't find it! I went through each blog and found when I responded! I am still missing some dates and to who I blogged! I know this is horrible! I am disappointed in myself. I just hope I can figure it out. I ended up getting a bit of a migrane.
I am still thinking about the M&M module. How many of you found it amazing? I did. I didn't expect to be so emotional about it! I guess everyday is filled with a surprise. This week I will finish up the paper for the Philadelphia paper. I will also catch up on finding my blogs!!
Since I am a woman, I am always looking for facts on how HIV affects US. I found this quiz online. See how much you know?
HIV and Women Quiz - Viral Diseases
I suggest you read the interesting facts, I did pretty good (missed a couple). Here is the link to many of the interesting facts : http://www.funtrivia.com/en/subtopics/HIV-and-Women-187490.html
This semester is going by fast. I honestly can say that this semester I have not only tried to pass my classes. I have learned lots. And the stuff I have learned is from this class! It has been educational and interesting!
DYK: Many of you live in Florida or close by and for those who don't I will share a great organization that I found right here! It is located in Pensacola. It is called Appetite for Life. They provide food for HIV/AIDS patients. "Our mission is to provide nutritious, high quality meals at no charge to persons infected with or affected by HIV/ AIDS or other terminal illnesses and who are physician or case manager referred. This is accomplished through one of our three programs: Home Delivered Meals Program (HDMP), Food Pantry Program (FPP), and Ensure Nutritional Supplement Program (ENSP). We do not receive any government funding; our programs are funded by private foundations, individuals, and earned income" (Appetite for Life, 2008).
Just by reading this, I tear up. It is so wonderful to see ordinary people help one another. There are still people that care. It is not necessary to be rich or have access to thousand or millions all YOU need is a good heart and great intentions. These people are wonderful!

I am going to the Men's panel tonight also I heard the women's panel was really good so I am looking foward to going too.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard about the the program Appetite for Life. they are much like the Hug Me program we have here in Orlando. Pensacola is a very small place I was born there so I am sure that this program is able to help a lot of people in their area.
The women’s panel was great. It definitely gives you a different perspective on the virus. I learn so much more by actually hearing someone talk about their side effects, how they feel, their medication routine then reading about it. I am actually going to tonight’s panel as well, and I live 2 hours away I think it is worthwhile if that tells you anything.
ReplyDeleteI took the quiz I only missed 2 :)
I agree with your statement that this class has been educational and interesting.
