So… today didn’t go as well as I planned it out to be. But all’s well that ends well.
I was hoping to have a peaceful Saturday… I had it planned out. Wake up in the morning, do my morning rituals, eat, go online, have my physical therapy in the afternoon and finally attend the PhilMUG Christmas party in the evening. Not quite…
I woke up late, to the noise of people buzzing about in the house. I wasn’t aware that there was a scheduled meeting with some of my brother and my business partners. It was also the day that our Christmas tree was being made. So the workers were here to make it. Those weren’t so bad…
I finally got finished with my morning rituals around 11:30. I went to the living room to go online. A few minutes into surfing and checking emails, I got a call from my mom. She had just came from the Doctor’s clinic to pick up the test results of my check up the previous week. She had some disturbing news. The doctor’s saw something in my x-ray. I was already made aware of this before but he only said that it was scaring and nothing to be worried about. Unfortunately the person who read the x-ray and made the formal test results apparently had a different opinion. It was noted that I had PTB or Pre-tuberculosis. What the !@#$%?!?!
When my mom got home she explained to me that the person who read the x-ray had thought I have PTB but my attending physician thought otherwise. Since I’m supposed to undergo Enzyme Replacement Therapy they wanted to be sure. My physician asked that a CT Scan be done. So we made arrangements to do that the very same afternoon.
My physical therapy was cut short because I needed to be in the hospital by 3 p.m. for the scheduled CT Scan. So by 3:30 the test was done. Just before we got home, my mom got an SMS message from my doctor. The CT Scan was all clear. Whew… Thank God…
I wasn’t worried so much that I had Tuberculosis. I knew that was treatable. I was worried about the chance that it would affect the start of the ERT. I’ve waited so long for this. The medicine is here, it’s just being processed for release and TB might be a deal breaker. Good thing that TB is now out of the equation.
God is good….
