Tuberculosis or not?

Tuberculosis or not?

Yesterday they put me on IV antibiotics, and continued them today. I still had fever last night, but it was a better night's sleep than before, and my cough seems to have lessened.

The results of most of the tests for tuberculosis will come in by tonight. Some of the preliminary results seem to point away from tuberculosis, which I can tell is confounding one of my doctors. I think he would prefer I had TB, because that would justify all of the tests he has conducted.

At this point this has become a waiting game, which I have accepted.
