Again, I’m sharing my experience with having active tuberculosis. Nothing I say should be construed as medical advice. Please speak with your doctor if you suspect that you have an infection. All of what I’m sharing is…
What would you do if your doctor told you had active tuberculosis?
Yesterday was the day, I can’t believe that it is now exactly three years since I was released from the hospital. When I sit down to think about it, it all seems so crazy to me. It all seems so surreal and I feel the need to share with you my experience at this time.
In April 2016, on a Wednesday, I ended up in the hospital. I was coughing for months. A couple of doctors assumed it was acid reflux that was causing my cough. I was even taking medication for the acid reflux and at one point, I was even given muscle relaxers to even try to help calm the cough. But, it wasn’t working.
A Love Letter to My Dog
Charley, you have been my faithful companion for over fifteen years. The moment I met you, when your daddy brought you home…I fell in love with you. I remember crying tears of joy.
Your Dad got lost trying to find the family we were adopting you from. He came home a couple of hours late. I remember sitting at the window with your big sister, Cinder, waiting so impatiently for you.
