I can thank my uncle for giving me this wonderful affliction. I managed to live for 26 years without contracting chicken pox and then on thanksgiving my uncle is there. He had just had shingles 10 days before. Apparently shingles is caused by the same varicella virus so I must have contracted it from him.
Went to the doctor today and she said "If you are three days into it and this is as bad as it is, then you're getting away with murder." So I guess that means so far I'm lucky. Apparently it _can_ cause you to be hospitalized if you get it as an adult. Then I find out there's a vaccine available! So anyway, I'm at home for at least another week. If only I could work on the 914 during this time!!!
