Margi's Journey

16881.1 
Welcome all who come here.
To our little haven where we rejoice, cry, whine, and vent.
Where we pray, hope, amuse and inform. This is what we are made of, all of us individuals with a common bond, Hep C, in ourselves or a friend
or family member.
I remember when I first found eons ago that this was what was wrong. I researched and posted here and there and learned and grew to find out what I was dealing with.
Treated again and again to no avail but found the strength and confidence in myself here at OOB to persevere.
 There are so many out there who never learn or have the support we have here. The honesty and uniqueness I see here is why I call this home.
There isn't anywhere else where people understand or just let you be your funky, silly, frightened and anxious self with unconditional love.
 Your family and friends don't want to hear it anymore, they don't understand. You look great I hear all the time. Inside I hurt. Doesn't help to explain there is no fixing it. A pity party isn't what I am looking for anyway. But the hugs and hope here at this site is nourishing and calms a person down. Just doing this DOS always makes me stop and think about myself, my journey and this place to be where I can talk about it. So for all of you new and old OOBers here we are. Home.
Peace love and hope
Margi & OOB

" Out Of Bounds"

It is with very deep sadness  that I come to you with the news that my co host of the last four years  has passed away unexpectedly. His name is Lou Buratti and he has done more for the hepatitis c community than most ever think of doing. He will be missed by thousands of people that we have helped over the years. We both defeated the hep c virus and were a very positive force in the hep c community. This loss of life as we know is temporary as we will meet again in heaven at a later time. Lou Buratti was a very intelligent and caring man, and absolutely the most wonderful person I have ever been blessed knowing. I will continue our dream of loving and supporting anyone going through the journey of treatments and making sure that quality of life is the best it can be for you the hep c sufferer. His life will always be remembered and cherished because he was one in ten million, and he gave everything he could to helping others. He is now a legend and I will carry his torch f...

" THE HEALING PLACE"

Image
As I read all of your true concerns for me and for Lou,  I am listening and learning from all of you. I know everything that has happened in the past and it was very painful for both of us.  That is why he built OOB.org for me,  to protect me from all of this heartache. I am strong, and I am very fragile as I go through the forum and allow these people to at least have their last say. I want it to be a healing time for all of us no matter how difficult it is for me, this is about the man I cherished,  and he taught me real love for all people. As all of you know he was a brilliant man. I think people felt threatened by his genius because everyone wants to be intelligent and gifted as Lou, no one could ever fill his shoes and it must be taken as an opportunity to make this place better than ever before by finding the good in everyone. So with his death I will hopefully teach some of his love to you and to the people that tried so hard to hurt him. ...
