Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

Jesus, threat... best of luck to you. That's always scary.

[chimera]

Yeah I would hope so, babe - my mom has the same thing, never showed any symptoms.

Gah, am so enraged today I can't even see straight.  If I could set Crazy Fangirl on fire right now I would.

[threatsicle]

Had the xrays done today. Made them do a STAT request. Kept harassing my doctor for results, cuz dude... I deal with A LOT of ppl, so it'd be a HUGE risk not knowing ASAP about results...
and...

The chest xrays came out normal! I don't have TB disease! No more freaking out! I can go back to prepping for this huge fucking shoot again! FUCK YAHH!!!!

No need for meds or anything!

I almost had to cancel the shoot completely cuz of this -- fuck showing up on set with a mask on. Do you know how much these porn girls would freak out over something like this?? It's worst than an AIDS scare!!!!!!!


I'm SO happy and relieved!!!


p.s. it's i before e, except after c, right? haha

great news!  8)

Turtle had the same thing happen when she went through her medical screening for immigration.  She tested positive for TB anitbodies and had to get a chest x-ray.

That's fantastic! 'Grats!

[luna]

Yay!

[chimera]

See I knew it would be okay. 

[TPD]

yaaaaay!

[Naylzie]

Holy shit, so glad you're clear, Threat!  At least you got the results back fast enough not to cancel the shoot, if only barely.

My vent is mostly blasting on myself.  I was last here for any reasonable period of browsing in September, during which time I posted a minor vent about my relationship stupid.  Well, if I'd have actually gotten back to the board to read responses, I'd have had some helpful insights, but I never got back til recently.  It's over, he belted me when I told him we were over (after the fact, actually), and I'm moving on with my life, but I'm kicking myself for not getting back to see the responses to my original post.

[Aaron]

He hit you? What a douche waffle. It's good you're out of that.

[individualzero]

"belted"? If you mean he hit you, I hope a giant belt comes down from the sky and whips the shit out of him. It's never acceptable to hit the ones you love (or don't-love, either way).

Nevertheless, I'm glad that you're out of that. The most important thing you can do to help in that kind of situation is NOT to kick yourself, for any reason. You may have missed our advice, but you still managed to pull yourself out of that mess and that's what is important.

It takes a certain kind of strength to realize when things aren't going the way you want and you finally get determined enough to become all Rambo on your problems. Good on you.

good to hear you are out of that naylzie.  If you ever feel regret over leaving him, just think of that moment again.

[sin]

Every doctor and nurse I came into contact with when I was in for my colonoscopy on Monday felt the need to ask "How are you today?"

"Well, actually, I'm getting a colonoscopy in a little bit, so, you know, I've, ah, BEEN BETTER."

Ah well.  It wasn't really that horrible, although I'm not ENTIRELY sure how I'm going to come up with my co-pay when the bill comes.

[r00]

Someone I know that had a colonoscopy told me, "Whatever you do, do not ever ever ever look at the scope on the table beforehand."  I imagine those were wise words.

Here's to hoping you come back with good results.  8)
