Hepititis B

My Dad has been diagnosed with Hep B in India.

He works as an airline pilot in India.

I didn't think to tell him to go get vaccinated before he went last year.

We both ate large amounts of oysters out of the same bottle when he came back 3 months ago.

He came home a month ago on leave.

He had dental surgery three weeks ago.

I helped change his bloody pillow cases during his recovery.

My mum is immuno-compromised.

Last week I went back to my OB/GYN to check out an enlarged lymph node in my groin.

Because of its location she sent me for Blood Count/Liver Enzyme tests.

Mum and I both went to get tested for Hep B this afternoon.

Results after 3pm tommorow.

He's trying to catch the first flight home.

What a clusterfuck.

Pray for us.

Edited to say: Did I mention that my mum had no idea what Hep B was ? Or STD's ??? Jeusus H. Roosvelt Christ...try explaining to your dear old mum that she can't kiss or boink her hubby after not seeing him for a month.
