Spots before my eyes ...

Okay, that will be the last spot joke I promise. Updated, the situation is that I phoned the doctors first thing, explained and they said are you able to come in (after hanging on for a while when she went to ask I guess, and what cheery music too - In the Bleak Mid Winter !) I said I wasn't dressed but thought I'd be up to it, as I had nobody to bring me. She said to come to reception and they would take me straight through the treatment room and a doctor would see me at 10.10. Why is it that when I am late for an appointment, it takes me 20 minutes to get to the doctors, but when I have plenty of time, it takes about 12? Anyhow got there just after 10, taken to a empty room and told I would be sent for. I sat there listening to the hum of the fluorescent lights, which were also so bright they hurt my eyes. I felt sick. I sat there for half an hour and was on the verge of getting up and going thinking I'd made a big mistake, but finally the doctor came in, and listened to the story, asked where the spots were (I mean I have about 30 visible on my face and neck, doh!) but the worst of them is on my back, boobs, under my arms. I haven't bothered trying to count now, but I reckon with the ones in my hair it must be close on 250. These aren't itching that much to be honest, but they are very sore. Anyway, he confirmed that it was chickenpox, that I would have been likely to have caught it 2 weeks ago, so that makes Christmas Eve, Day (which is out, cos I didn't go anywhere) Boxing Day (Pats? doubtful as they would have shown the symptoms before me) Oh well. He said I will probably feel crap for the rest of this week, and that I should avoid going near children for at least a week (well that's no problem, I avoid going near them at the best of times...) I will be contagious until the spots dry up, which should be about 4 days. That I won't be back to feeling anything like normal for about 2 weeks. I was given permission to nip in the chemist and get some piriton, paracetemol, calamine and I also bought some Lemsips this time. Nothing else to do but sit it out. Today I feel really terrible again, really full of flu, shivering and sweating, weak. I've just sat on the sofa all day, and dragged myself up just for food, (haven't lost my appetite now sadly) wees, seeing to the pets. Don't know how long I shall last tonight am feeling very tired already, so if I'm not on chat, I am still alive (just) :(
