Gone are those days when I could not eat anything. Well, it seems like the DR-TB drugs want to play it friendly with me of late. Nausea and hallucinations have now gone and I'm just left with so many cravings of food each and every day.
Even though the drugs seem to be friendly nowadays, I still can't console myself with the fact that I'm still not studying due to hearing loss. Before then my future seemed very bright, but of now I'm not quiet certain whether I should say so.
I remember very well that just May next year was going to be my last month for my bachelor's degree. The graduation gown was all my parents ever wanted to see me wearing.
However, I'm a glad somebody nowadays since I have known the crazy 'Phumie' A.K.A Phumeza Tisile because she really instilled hope in me. I don't know how she manages but all I know is that ever since she became my social network friend my life is different.
I no longer think of suicide as the solution to my problems, also dealing with the fact that she is going to break her silence soon really gave me hope that someday it will be me, even if it is in the means of hearing aid. In a nutshull, all I can say is I'm blessed to have been one of the patients whose treatment seems to go well so far, remember this is my 15th month.
