I just got back home from the hospital.

The doc wants me in isolation at home til at least the end of the month. He wants all the blood work repeated in 2 weeks and to see him a week after that. The hospital gave me masks to take home, 120 of them.

The diagnosis of TB is correct. It came from a look under the microscope.

I have to take these meds for about 9 months.

They are:

isoniazid - 300mg per day

rifampin - 600mg pills x 2

ethambutol - 1200mg pills x 3

I take all the pills at the same time each day. Home Care will come each day to deliver the pills and to make sure that I take them.

It is good to be out of the hospital.

Thanks Jenni for starting this post.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and concern.


My new doc is awesome. He is from the UK and specialises is Wegs, Nephrology, and Internal Medicine. It is obviously Divine Providence that I went to the ER on June 23. He knows Bacon and Savage and Adu. So I obviously wont be going to Mayo or Toronto now.

God Bless to All,
Phil
