extended
So I went to my last check-up last Tuesday, hoping that I was completely free from TB, or so I thought.
That Tuesday felt like forever because I spent hours queueing for my doctor. Well, that's what you get from using a free insurance service, I guess. Beggars can't be choosers. Anyway, I had my chest X-ray-ed again. I was hoping that I would get the result I'd been hoping for. I was no expert, but when I saw my chest image, I wouldn't be surprised if I still have to befriend my medicine. And I was right.
My doctor said that the image was still a bit hazy, and he didn't want to take any risk, so he extended my medication to another 3 months, just to be safe. Even though I don't mind taking medicine for another 3 months (I never skip my medicine, mind you), I just felt a bit bummed. My doctor also complained about why I don't gain any significant weight. Of course, I didn't tell him that I'd like to stay below 48kg as much as I can XD I'm not starving myself to death though. I'm still eating okay.
My doctor also said that I have to avoid cigarette smoke. I hate cigarette smoke so much and I try not to be around people who smoke. But sometimes it can't be avoided like when I'm in public transportation and there is this scumbag who is just plain ignorant smoking in the car. And also, I can't just tell off my neighbor if he smokes and I can smell that poison from my bedroom. I just wish I could have this superpower so I can just snap my fingers and this smoker just chokes to death from his own smoke.
