China

So I've been in China for almost two years now and can honestly say that until last week, I loved it here. Now I'm not so sure. As most poeple know, the US has eradicted TB. Tuberculosis. Most other counties vacinate babies at birth. Not the US though. So now, here I am at 40 years old and I have tested positive for TB exposure. Yes, you read that correctly. I have been exposed to TB. I don't have an active case and am not contagious but...I could be someday. So now I am on medication. For 9 months. 9 months. Two pills a day for 9 months. I realize there are hundreds of thousands of poeple who take tons of pills a day, but not me, until now. Feeling a little blue and overwhelemed.
