#she had contracted multi drug resistant tuberculosis two years earlier

[suncatbian]

just found out yesterday on my birthday that my wife can finally stop her treatment because she managed to kick TB's ass. she's back to her pre-illness weight and is starting to look and feel much healthier. although her doctors will only give a full clearance in another three months after another ct scan but for now they say she's fought off the infection and the rest her immune system should be able to do. honestly i can't even process this, it has been two long years of illness, hospitalisation, severe side effects, terrible mental health and literally almost dying, losing 30 kilos of weight, losing her job and her great career and the strain of this on her and even on me, including financial because she hasn't been able to work until about two months ago even remotely, and now she's finally doing better, she's recovered (with Allah's blessings) and a robust TB treatment program that the government runs (which is also one of the good things about the indian medical system) and im just so so grateful. to anyone here who's ever messaged me or checked in (who's here on tumblr now and those who left), thank you. it was such a tough time and i honestly needed all the support i could get. honestly excited for this year now. i convinced my parents to come meet her end of this month and im thinking of proposing to her properly and having a big/small wedding for family and friends by the start of next year (we had a tiny ceremony about 3 years ago but it was literally with two friends so we're always going back and forth on if we consider ourselves married or not even though we refer to each other as wife) but anyway that's for later. i love her so so much and seeing her fight through this for two whole years has been so tough but we're here and we're good, Inshallah!
