The Make Mom Worry Post

So sunday, after returning from the fly zone, I realized that the right side of my tummy had several little spots on it. After discussing it with my colleagues we determined that in addition to be molested by flies I must been dinner for some fleas as well. Lucky me. The next day there were more spots, wrapping around the my back and starting to appear diagonally on my left calf. Weird. AUbree tells me that sometimes bites take a whilte to show up. Ok fine. However throughout the week, more and more spots have turned up. My legs and stomach are now covered. The spots are weird, a little too red for bug bites, not quite a rash. And thy appear in patterns-often straight lines and arcs. We have now ruled out fleas, ticks, spiders, chiggers, jiggers, and scabies. I have suspicions that I am the last living case of small pox but for some reason people seem to disagree. Seeking medical advice here is something I am trying to avoid after having attempted to obtain some this week. First they covered me with hydrocortizone, then came some benadryl, and now something called celestamine. Everyone keeps telling me to go back and see Jimmy, the albino kenyan doctor. They are convinced that because he is albino he knows everything there is to know about skin conditions. I disagree, and even if this is the case that doesnt mean he knows anything about anything else. I'm hoping maybe if I switch detergents they will go away, though I had no problemn the first time i washed my clothes so we shall see. In happier news however I have so far managed to avoid the ever terrible travelers diarhea, or as I prefer to refer to it, exploding ass.
