You had not been feeling well being so sick to the point where you had cut your hours of work even getting fired from your part time job and you were worried as weeks went on without getting better almost screaming when you noticed your skin began to have an orange tone to it going to the doctor and got blood work and other tests done. Indi was glued to your side watching over you like a hawk helping you to the bathroom, making soft warm foods in between bowls of soup, giving you nausea medicine when your stomach was acting up, feeling scared seeing the weight you lost within the short amount of time but when the results came in she was on the road feeling scared of not having her there with you as you sit and wait for the doctor who looks sad before telling you the worse and life changing news of why you were sick finding out that you had Hepatitis C feeling your heart drop bawling once you got home calling Indi and telling her everything as you try to figure out where and how you got this illness as the next three days passed by miserably breaking down in her arms feeling the world crash on and around you going into a deep depression as you wait for a call about any type of medication or treatment but the call you get instead leaves you confused being told to come back to the office the next morning thankful that indi was home and could go with you this time around and hoping that it wasn't anymore bad news to add to the misery. From the moment you wake up you are a nervous wreck holding onto indi's hand like velcro almost getting physically ill until the doctor comes in with a more cheery and relieved look on his face than he did a few days earlier when you saw him "Turns out we had a mix up between you and another patient you don't have Hepatitis C but instead a benign condition called Carotenemia" you felt tears of joy pour down you face hearing what could help resolve the carotenemia over a bit of time immediately beginning each and every process of doing so from eating certain fruits and vegetables to adding a bit more of certain proteins and meats to your diet and moisturizing your skin along with other small skin treatments which helped resolve and improve the condition and state of your skin along with resting more to help with the fatigue and thanks to what you did with your diet you gained most of the weight you lost back cheering indi on during her match blowing kisses at each other with the biggest smiles grateful to still be alive and to be healthy again.
