A "Meet" and Greet

Hey Hey Readers! Some VERY exciting news happened this past weekend. I was able to "meet" a couple of my most loyal readers. "Meet," as in we spoke in person. I would like to clarify though, that what I mean by "meet" is more like "reunite"? Does that make sense? Okay, fine, they are family! Anyways, it is good to catch up with the readership of this blog.

Things have been going well in my latent TB town. I had an appointment with the NP last week. They are starting to get pretty routine and I don't REALLY think I need to meet with her, but whatever. If she feels like she is actually working, so be it. We all like to feel useful once in a while, right?

I am scheduled to have blood work done sometime after the 19th of this month. I don't expect for any adverse affects from the INH, but protocol is protocol.

I am happy to report I am off this stuff in May. Which feels like it could be right around the corner. I seem to WOW the NP when I tell her I have yet to miss a treatment. I must come off as an airhead or something. At the end of the day, though, I have myself together.
That's all I got for you, folks. Hopefully things will start to pick up soon.

Stay warm and TB-free.
Out!

That Karen is Such a DB

Well, good day to you all readers. I'm kind of back, but let's be honest, not really. At this point, I feel like a lip service friend. "Oh hey all, thanks for stopping by, I'll write tomorrow and keep you all informed and it will be awesome and great," and then nothing. I am sure we all have THAT friend. I am sure I am THAT friend. Does anyone listen to Dane Cook? I am totally Karen these days.

Anyways, all is well with the TB meds. I DID however go through all my multivitamins, so I need to pick up another bottle. I also meet up with the NP for ANOTHER monthly appointment this Thursday, to make sure everything is in tick-tock shape. On top of ALL of that, I am scheduled to have blood work done this month, to make sure my liver hasn't taken a major dive-bomb in function.

I won't say I am looking forward to meeting with the NP this month. Not only do I deal with her as a working on site NP, but I also actually work WITH her once in a while. There are some butting heads with some issues involving our two parties and I am kind of in the middle. I have a meeting with her tomorrow, not concerning my latent TB. We will see how it goes. If I walk away after kidney punching her, you can assume it didn't go well. I am hoping to come out on top here with some extra monies in my pocket. One can be optimistic, no?

That's it. That's all I have for you today. Be well all.

Just Checking In

Good morning TB Treatment followers.

I am NOW officially over half way. I am almost through week 18 of the 36.

So far, things are still the same. Something new will be happening next month, though. Soon after my monthly appointment with the NP, I will be having blood work done, to make sure my liver hasn't gone all wonky from the INH. I think this will also be a good indicator if the amounts of alcohol I DO drink have been detrimental. Yes, I know I said I am not supposed to drink while taking INH. But I AM a responsible adult and I know exactly what moderation is all about. Come next month, though, I will know if my moderation is just too much.

Now, for all your entertainment, a little something I found to be VERY appropriate for this rainy day.


That's funny, a monkey riding a dog.

Today is Day 124 and I'm Dumb

Good morning and happy Friday to you all!
Surprised to see me? Probably.

So, turns out I don't know math and am not not actually half way through my treatment until next week. A loyal reader pointed out to me my math was a little off. So, today is day 124, and in 2 days, I will officially be halfway. Now THAT is music to my ears.

Any plans for anyone this weekend? I think it is supposed to rain in my neck of the woods, so I may hunker down and just relax, for once.

I hope ALL are well. Please stayed tuned.

Day 123 Update

I know, I know, I have TOTALLY been sucking in the blog department. I guess I have been a little checked out in updating with my TB treatment recently.

Let's do a quick update:
I am still taking my INH treatment WITH the multivitamin.

Last week I saw the NP for my monthly check-up. She said everything is looking fine and that next month I will be having blood work, to make sure my liver is still in good form, after taking the INH.

I still have not missed a day, yet. This always seems to surprise the NP, and I don't know why. I must come off as irresponsible, or something? Little does she know, I am ALMOST as Type A and anal as they get. Yeah, I am a list maker.
Today is day 123, cool.

This is week 17 of 36, awesome. I am OVER halfway.

Love, Moody but TB Positive

Back Back to Cali Cali

I like that song.

Anyways, I am back. This post will be far from ground moving though. I am pretty busy with work this week, so can't spend a whole lot of time going into what an amazing job I did on staying on top of my INH and multivitamine pill taking while on vacation and holiday.

I haven't done the math yet, but I may be pretty dang close to being half way. Thank goodness.

Thank you readers for staying with me. I hope everyone had great holidays. Happy 2010!

Here's to a year filled with much happiness, health, and let's not kid ourselves, wealth.

Tata for now,
Moody but TB Infected

DA NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have one thing to say to you all...

I'm out until the new year! Happy Festivus to all! I will be challenging my dad to the Feats of Strength this year. Wish me the best.
