I Am Drowned... Drowned With Happines

Words cannot express and describe how much happiness I have this very moment. Yes, you sense me feeling happy here in the past week, but deep inside, my heart keeps beating fast, uncertain and seems twisting into a confusing result of my medical. I applied for a Work Visa and the medical examination was done in Davao, but the New Zealand Immigration instructed me to see another Pulmunulogist and Cardiologist in our very own hospitals. I wondered why.The first result taken in Davao National Health Services, NZ affiliated hospital showed my Chest X-ray result lungs clear, but seen some fiver. That intrigued the NZ Immigration.So I went to four hospitals: one to check my creatine, CBC, and the second hospital to conduct Chest X-Ray, the third hospital to conduct the Blood test if I am positive of tuberculosis, and the fourth , to conduct Sputum test. X-Ray showed the same result lungs clear, but there is fiver.
That is the issue that needs clarification and that makes my heart squeezed for fear that I have TB, Oh heaven, how could that happen? So with all my might and desire to know, I let a doctor in the lab to get sample of my blood. The injection was so painful for that.The doctor told me to come back and know after 72 hours, so I did come back and when the doctor pulled the plaster covering the injected part, HORROR, he said , there is. I asked " What is there is doctor?" And he measured the red colored part of the skin. I was so scared,oh my Lord, as if I wanted to die, in case I have this bad sickness,TB. I was thinking about my job as a university lecturer sometimes I used dusty chalk and most often a white board pen.When my sisters learned this thing, the more that I felt devastated. They no longer want me to kiss my young nephews and told me to wear a mask. They never know that I cry alone in my bedroom.
I called the NZ immigration to give me the chance to prove to them that I am healthy, that I am not sick with TB, so they gave me until this week for last week was a holy week.
The last Doctors to see are Pathologist and Pulmunulogist.I undergo two sessions SPUTUM laboratory test, the final judgment. The first was Tuesday this week and the second is this day all at 6:00 in the morning , too much sacrifices: no breakfast, no tooth brushing , and was told to get the result at four o'clock this day.
RESULT: Negative: First and Second tests. Fiver: Allergy of Dust.
I knelt on the floor to thank the Lord. I prayed so hard.I miss my little nephews who are at with me at home.Sorry too long.I just want to voice out my happiness to you, I also consider my Family. Amen to happiness, oh dear Lord, thank you. Without You I am nothing.

@SIMPLYD, You are bright my dear, yes I am now wearing a face mask every time I erased writings on the board and every time I commute. Sometimes I feel do not ride my car, especially Monday and Friday traffic is so congested and there are many rude drivers. I am scared of their attitudes, no discipline, since dusty, I wear a face mask.

I am glad you found out you are allergic to dust, and it is nothing more serious. I understand why you are so happy and feel blessed. I love the picture you posted, it is so beautiful.

@cacay1 Do you wear the face mask all the time, or just when you are outside?

@slund2041 I only wear a mask outside when I commute. If I drive my car, I won't wear a mask. When there is somebody in the faculty office coughing many wear a mask. Our roads this time is super dusty due to road widening ,plus severe climate, so hot and dust gets wilder in the horizon.

That's really a good news! Thanks, you can now pursue your dreams without fear of being "avoided" by your relatives or friends . But TB nowadays can be easily cured according to the Health Dept. Anyway, congrats and goodluck! Seems like you are planning to go to NZ?

God is really good. He deserves to be praised because He loves His children. I am also delighted that you got a negative result of TB. I hope that everything goes well with your work visa. Likewise, I also applied for a visa but it is just a tourist visa in Sydney Australia. I am also hoping and praying that my application will be granted.
