Well, I went and had my TB skin test read on Friday afternoon and I did have some kind of reaction to it. They aren't too sure if it was positive or if it was administered incorrectly. I have to have the test repeated on Wednesday the 29th. They said that if that one comes up positive it means that I have been exposed to TB or some other type of bacteria. They know that I don't have TB because my chest xray was perfectly clear and I don't have any signs of it.
So, if this next one is positive I will have to take some kind of medicine for the next 6 months to be sure that I don't get TB later in life. AGH!
Needless to say, I am not too happy about having to do this again and I am a little worried about the results. I am sure everything will turn out fine, but I hate the idea of it.
That's all I have for you... nothing too exciting (or terrible). Have a great week everyone!

When I started nursing school I had to get TB test done and they thought the first one was positive. I forget exactly but I think it was slightly raised or maybe a tad bit red still. I had to have the second shot done and it came back completely negative.
My point is hopefully it was just done wrong!
Remain positive about being negative LOL.
