10 days in!

We are 10 days in! Yay! I'm still feeling ok (if you don't count the allergy hell) and I haven't even thought about not being able to drink lately! I do think my liver is super-busy processing the INH on top of these other meds, at least that's what I am attributing all of this spacey-ness to. I've been feeling very weird, like I'm not back to normal yet since yesterday's incident. :)

It was Mothers Day Tea at Maddie's school & when it's time for snacks where do we get seated? At a tiny table (with tiny chairs) with three little boys & their dads (don't know where either ones mom were) of course! Because I'm already totally comfortable sitting in this tiny chair in a dress, let's add a little fun in! Maddie & I are both all "girly" and we are surrounded by boys! Ewww! ;) So much for Mothers Day Tea, lol. And both dads are sitting on the floor, right at boob level!! Seriously! With my head already in the clouds, I am thrown into a social situation that is crazy weird... So we make it through choc chip muffins & then Maddie starts crying because she doesn't want to go with daddy, she wants to go with me... Oh Lordy, the thing was, I was feeling crappy & decided not to join them in the visit to see Johns parents tonight. But she just starts crying & saying she doesn't want to go with daddy, over & over again...and these daddies were just staring at me...I was totally thinking "is this really happening?" I couldn't calm her down & I was already not 100%, to say the least, lol. Why does this stuff happen to me? Why can't I just go & sit next to another anti-social mom & let the kids play & just smile every now & then? Why?

So I feel like mom of the year wiping off my child's tears as I am walking out... awesomeness 

Yay me!! :) 

Since this blog is about tb & INH, I should probably put down some tb facts. I did say I wanted to help spread the word & not the disease! So, have I already told you that Texas is #4 in states with the worst rates of tb per 100,000 people? That's not a great thing folks. 

No bueno. Oh, saying that brings up the obvious, the tb rates are higher for people born in another country. We do have a large # of immigrants...hmm, let's chew on that thought. California is #3 & they have a large number of foreign born people too. Double hmmm 

What if we target this population & educate them about tb? How about flyers along that border? I wish we could spray the area with a tb cure! And birth control, but let's start with trying to eradicate fatal diseases first! Sorry, this probably just stirred the pot, but it is something to think about. 

After I am finished with my INH & can enjoy my beloved Mexican martini again, I should probably look at seriously trying to spread the word (not the disease) ;)

I say after I can drink again because come on, I'm not gonna think about much more than myself (or family) this whole time, lol.  Who would? 

So, 260 days left....we are getting there!
