a young professional’s escape

It’s April already and the days are nearly hitting 23.

I’ll have my second shot of skin test again this April 23 to determine if I still have the bacteria residing in my left lung. I am quite excited that finally, after months of waiting I will know the result. Yet, I am worried at the same time because I might not have the result I want to have.

I have researched about my illness and I am really afraid if this gets to worse. I have studied it and have found out that if it gets to worse, I would be hospitalized and medicines will not be taken orally anymore but would be taken via injection. Imagining it makes me shiver already. I am afraid of needles! Yikes!

Anyway, aside from my second skin test, I will also have my second round of chest xray. Actually the xray comes first and if the spot is still there, skin test will come next.

I am a bit afraid but still hoping that it would turn out all right.
