We’ve had a scary couple days with my niece. She’s seen several doctors including an infectious disease doctor. She has a rash that looks like welts but isn’t raised, just hot to the touch.

Flesh eating bacteria? I actually had it last year. Not fun at all, and my symptoms were the same. I don't know if that's what scarlatina is, though.

That is some scary stuff. I'm glad you made it throught that. My niece's redness is all over her body - face, knees, shins, thighs, torso, arms, etc. Very weird. It is finally going away now, fortunately. The doctors just couldn't discern if it was viral or bacterial.

I feel fortunate I was able to walk away from that fall. :/

Oh, I'm going. I thought of the trip as I was going down, and laying there, and making myself get up. S'okay, it's just a flesh wound!

I hope I don't get skittish around the 'horses' on stage. *g*

You have some of the worst luck of anyone I know.

My perception of things must be seriously askew. I'm here thinking how lucky I was it wasn't worse. :)

I think you should go straight to work, then home from now until your Equus trip. Otherwise..

You know, there's a river between home and work - I may also wear a life vest. *g*
