181 days + 18 Days: GRADUATION

Okay, okay, I should have posted this sooner - but I procrastinated long enough, because it was such relief to be clear of TB. ☺


I took my last round of medications 12 Mar 2014, but I was not able to see Dr. Pagcatipunan until 17 Mar because he was not available that week.
The last dose :)
During that hiatus, to my joy: No More Reddish Pee! :P

16 Mar, I went to the hospital to take my x rays: both PA and apicolordotic views.

17 Mar came, and I was a mass of emotions then... I was excited and nervous at the same time. What if I forgot a dose? What if the medication did not work?

I messaged Chris about my appointment, and he took the time to call me to cheer me up and wish me luck. ♥

I also tweeted:

Thank God for tweethearts like them. ♥

Seeing Dr. Pagcatipunan was a bit of anti-climax. He scanned through my x rays, and pointed out that it's almost all gone, but a small scar in my lungs. He congratulated me, and said that I have graduated from DOTS. He also said that he wishes not to see me again.

What a humour my doctor has. =.=

It was a relief!

Can't help but to spread the news:






Now, almost a month after that day, I have gotten used to a life without taking my medication, and believe me, it was a relief.


Now, all I need to do is get my weight down again.


And that, my dears, is another story.
