i have TB

Jun 20, 2007 22:26

okay so i haven't been diagnosed with TB yet. but at this rate, the ulceration is gonna be bigger than my arm by tomorrow!

every year, people at work go through the annual employee health screening. i don't particular enjoy the PPD skin test. i'm allergic to the protein so naturally my arm gets this huge ulceration (inflamed lesion). not only that, but i have to resist the intense urge to scratch the crap out of that thing. they always tell you to not scratch but of course we never do what we're told.

i'm staring at the ulceration because it's as big as a quarter and still growing (there's no induration). my third-world country coworkers are down with the cause. this big thing on my arm doesn't scare them. but the non-third-world colleagues are "concerned". one even suggested that i should call my doctor for a chest x-ray stat!

on a non-TB note, yours truly is sporting the dodge caravan while the sexy S is in the shop. can you say soccer mom?

hi kids!
