Karen sent me a very informative email about tuberculosis last night after reading that Tunji has it…however, there is an update to that news. He MIGHT have TB, but they aren’t sure yet, and he’s actually had two TB tests that have come up negative already. The story is that Tunji had been feeling bad all Tuesday and Wednesday, and finally went to the health center on Thursday, where they discovered he has fluid in his lungs and sent him to the medical center. Apparently, fluid in the lungs is often caused by TB, and so that’s what they sort of predicted that he had. When Nick and I went to visit him yesterday, we had to wear respirator masks and everything.
But they are not certain that he has TB yet, in fact they are thinking maybe he doesn’t after all. In that case, they will have to figure out another reason for why he has fluid in his lungs. The good news in that case would be that Tunji will be able to stay on as Nick’s roommate. Yesterday there was talk of him moving out.
Anyway, so that is Tunji’s saga. We’ll go see him again today, but they said he might get out of the hospital today, which would be great.
Last night we went to Jammix. I felt like I was dancing much worse than I did last time, but Nick and Susan both say I was dancing better, and that now I’m just more aware of when I make a mistake, because I’ve been taking the social dance class for three weeks now. It is very frustrating sometimes to not get everything right, especially when I am dancing with Nick, because he is really good and I know he doesn’t like dancing with people who aren’t as good as him. I somehow need to get a lot of practice before we go to Viennese ball in two weeks.
When we got back from Jammix we headed to Denny’s for a late night snack, then headed home. Every time I go to Denny’s late at night, I am always wide awake when we get there, but then as soon as I get some food in me, I totally crash. So when I got home, I fell into bed and didn’t set an alarm…and ended up not getting up until about 20 minutes ago. Whew, I am lazy today. At the moment I am trying to convince myself to go for a run, but I’m still groggy, and it is gray outside. We’ll see.
