Telling your mother (jokingly) that the way she's coughing makes her sound consumptive suddenly becomes a lot less amusing when her doctor, after telling her that he has no idea why she's still coughing after a month and two different antibiotics, gives her a TB bubble-test and schedules her for a chest x-ray.

:| :| :|

(Protip: if needles make you sick to your stomach do not look up the TB bubble-test, even if you just want text about what indicates having it and what indicates not having it. It's a poor life choice.)

UGH, I had to have the TB bubble test when I was working daycare in high school, and I watched them do it and almost passed out.

That aside, I hope 1. they figure out what's up with your mom and 2. it's nothing serious. :|

UGH I KNOW RIGHT.

She said that there's no, like. Raised hardness thing? It's just red as of right now, I guess, which I'm pretty sure is a good sign. But thanks, ♥.

Yips. I really hope she's okay.

Me too, :|. ♥

(Also what is going on in your icon. I know it is keyworded hugs but it ... looks like the one on top is gently strangling the one on the bottom and oh! my goodness! that's Hayden Panettiere, isn't it! That's why it's got bennet in it.)

(It is! That is Hayden Pannettiere and the lady who plays her mom on the show. Poor Mama Bennet had been mindwiped like a million times but that did not stop her from being awesome occasionally, also, I love her and her little dog.)

*sends hugs*
:( :( :(

I'm sorry! I'm sure now that your mother has the proper diagnosis, she'll be getting a lot better, though. And if it helps, I do know a WPI student (a senior, no less) who had it sometime in high school I think.

She ... doesn't actually have TB? Uh. He's just concerned she might so he's doing a test. But thank you, though! ♥

I meant to say this 100 million years ago, and found that the tab was still open and the comment ... had not posted.

This is what it was:

It's not so bad! I've lived with it for a while and got re-exposed twice in the past four months!!!

... wait. Okay. So I was never sick, just latent infected, but relatives were sick and so if you need any help/information/etc, I also wrote my term paper last year on it. So. Yeah. Good luck.

That still stands, even if now you know she doesn't have it ... not that I know why you would want information about TB now. It is in my icon, though.

Ahaha. Well thank you either way! :D
