Got up this morning and more little spots...I thought I might want to stop by my doctor's clinic on the way to the P. Buckley Moss Show "just in case". Into the shower I pop and when I popped out I had numerous BIG, really red blotches and spots all over my arms, legs, neck, face and stomach and they continued to get bigger and redder. I was amazed I didn't freak out but I thought "this is not good".
My doc does not work Saturdays at the clinic so the doc that saw me says my rash is a reaction to sulfa in one of the antibiotics I was prescribed to take to fight whatever was going on with my right hand - which by the way is healing up very nicely. I have never had a rash (unless when I was an infant) and have never had any known allergies but that all changed today. And the doctor told me my rash was a very good example of a textbook rash for a sulfa reaction - there's a positive. I start taking Prednisone today and I'm just thankful I'm not contagious because that was my biggest concern when I saw my skin morphing into a red blob this morning.
Last night I started reading "Sizzling Sixteen" by Janet Evanovich and it's kind of bittersweet. After I'd read her books Mike would read them and enjoy them just as much as I did - and laugh as much as I'd laugh while reading them. As I was reading about how Grandma Mazur was giving the funeral director a hard time at Stiva's for not opening the casket just for her to view the body so she would know for a fact that "so-and-so" was really in there and how Lula was starting another diet, I thought how much Mike would be shaking his head like I was.
