Okay, so maybe it's not a "vacation" per say, but very, very close!
This morning as I was getting ready for work I noticed my hip itched, so I glanced down and I saw about 7-10 bumps. I thought I had been bitten by some thing and I figured I would have the doc take a look this morning. She took a look and said it looked like shingles and to be careful and not scratch it. I went to the bathroom a bit later and when I pulled my pants down I noticed my whole left leg was starting to get covered in these bumps. When I looked in the mirror, while washing my hands, I noticed I had a bump on my neck. I hurried and went to see the doc again to see what she thought. She called another doctor and it looks like I may have a case of the chicken pox. I never got them as a kid, I don't "know" of anyone I have been around but the bumps are coming around all over, back, stomach, legs, neck, and arms. Ack!
So guess what? Just when I thought I was going to get caught up on things while my doctors are away tomorrow, I get this.
So, do you think I need to reschedule my doctor appointment Friday or just let her play connect the dots while she does my pap?

I don't know. Are you contagious?
Will vulnerable patients be exposed to you in the waiting room?
Can you call her and ask?
Get well soon!
Eek! I wouldn't go if you are contageous. I hope that you feel better soon!
That's awful! I'm so sorry to hear that you have chicken pox. I don't know, maybe you could call the office ahead of time to say that you have just come down with chicken pox and could they immediately put you into a room when you get there so that you don't have to sit in the waiting room with the other patients? I don't know if that sounds silly, but that way you can still go to your appointment and others won't catch it if they haven't had chicken pox.
