I got out early with a home iv.

The PICC. The tuberculosis exposure test. The failed attempt at the first PICC.

In the hospital, my dad said whenever I would sleep, I would mumble "I love you Poison."

I didn't say Poison but he doesn't want me to post his real name.

It was horrible. You guys have no idea. They said I have 10 days of home IV antibiotics and see if it works then the wisdom teeth then the lung surgery.

I'm seriously terrified for the first time in my life.

Ouch.

I'll be hoping the antibiotics work the way they're supposed to.

They did say that my lungs are getting worse.

I'm scared that I'm going to die before Poison and I can meet.

Damn, that would be sad.

Let's hope the doctors can stop that from happening.

Tendo, I... really don't know how to react and what to say.

I'll just say that we will miss you, and that I hope that you will get to meet Poison. I'm praying to the God that I don't believe in that, if a thing such as Heaven exists, that there will be a place for you there. Goodbye, bud.

It's okay Milos. I'm not on my deathbed. I'm still healthy...it's just declining. A lot. But thank you. That really means a lot to me. -hug-

And the only thing on my bucket list is meeting Poison. I wanted two things before I died. To accomplish my dream, and to be with the person I love.

I've done the first. I'm a journalist. Yeah it's for a statewide newspaper and a shitty teen magazine but what does it matter? You know that I've sent samplings of my writings to publications like Game Informer, only for them to tell me that they're impressed a 16 year old wrote them and that I need to get into a journalism program because I can make something of myself.

Really...he's the only thing I want. Boyfriend or friend, he's the only person that I felt has genuinely cared about me besides my Dad.

...Did they give you anything concrete in terms of long-term prognosis? I'm still hoping that the current episode of functional decline is reversible (intercurrent lung infection can make lung function temporarily worse). Also, PICCs are tricky business, but take good care of them as long as you've got them in you.

Keep fighting, okay?

They just...didn't say anything.

Don't worry about the PICC though. This is my third one. I'm an expert on them by now.

It's always worrying when they don't tell you anything concrete, but there's always hope that this episode of deterioration is just a phase. Don't give up.

And it's reassuring to know that you're familiar with PICCs. At least I know there's one less thing to nag at you about now. (Sorry if that sounded a little callous.)

(Also, why the TB test, of all things?)

TB is a serious lung infection that is highly contagious and hard to treat sometimes. The disease was very devastating a few decades back. It has the nickname 'White Plague'

I know about TB, but I was just wondering why they did the skin prick screening test at this point. There were probably some underlying medical considerations, but I'm not sure if this is the usual first-line investigation. (Pretty sure sputum and serum are preferred these days.)

Dang, I didn't know it was that bad. I really, honestly do hope this is just an episode, you're too good to lose around here.

I know I may seem like I'm repeating myself yet again here, but, yeah.

I can't help but feel like I sound horribly awkward because things like this haven't happened around me since I was little and my granddad was sick.
