It had really started on Friday.
The itching had been present since Wednesday, but Jim really hadn't thought about it all that much then. By Friday they went from being itchy to hurting, and when Pam noticed the blistering rash Jim knew it was time to head to the clinic. He managed to assure her he was fine - he didn't mention the pain he was in, nor the flu-like symptoms he'd been feeling for half the day already - and went alone. It was better that way. If he actually was sick, he didn't want Pam or the baby getting it.
He entered the clinic, finally allowing himself to wince as pain flared up every time his shirt brushed against the rash.
"Hello?" he called out, glancing around to see if he could spot a doctor.
