False Alarm

I woke up at midnight last night with a rash on my back and panicked that it was shingles, and told mom and baby to evacuate and called the doc.  I had had a headache and a little bit of a sore throat, and called my doctors to make an appointment.  I woke up Jake and had him drive me down to LDS, they checked me over, and fortunately decided that I didn't have shingles, and said that Winter should be fine since she had already got the chicken pox vaccine.

They determined that its a type of rash accompanied with swelling that is a possible side effect of prednesone.  Why am I not more surprised?

Anyway, they prescribed me some anti-itch stuff and we got most of my meds refilled while we were down there and I had a little longer than usual to chat with my husband.  It was actually good that we sent mom and Winter away, since mom's car had a flat tire and we drove a whole lot further than they did.  Mom's story turned out well as well though because she was able to call triple A and get a free repair at Discount Tires.  Yay!

Winter is not happy that I won't kiss her up because I don't want to give her a sore throat and she's being really needy tonight.
