Hahaha...ahhh. I went to my own family doc this morning, and she's doubtful of the shingles diagnosis, because I didn't have any pain or tingling before the rash erupted, the has rash crossed the centre line of my body, and because the area isn't painful. But she can't figure out what it is. It might be another type of herpes rash. It might be fleas or some other insect. She even got out her book of horrifying skin rashes. But since I seem to be okay, we're going to wait for the test results, and stay the course on the meds for now. If it changes for the worse or gets bigger, I'll go back and she'll try to get me in to a dermatologist. Sigh. While not have shingles is great, not know is going to drive me crazy.

Our wings are not tired.
I'd take fleas over shingles! Understand the not knowing is annoying though.

That's what I thought it was at first. But they don't quite look like flea bites, or bedbug bites for that matter. I guess it does mean I need to take my duvet to the laundromat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congrats to Matilda! That's an excellent result.

I hope you get an answer easily, Sue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, good luck figuring that out, Sue!

Good luck with the MRI and etc., sj.

Hi Una! Yes pertussis boosters!!
I have and am testing out the "iWalk". Aka the peg leg. Getting ok at walking with it but it's. It actually super comfy? But may be a lot better on stairs than going up on my butt.

My aunt went in for shoulder surgery this morning and her lung collapsed when they put her under. They're keeping her sedated for now and they'll try to re-inflate it tomorrow. I don't know why they can't re-inflate it now. It doesn't sound like they're worried she might die, but jesus christ.
