Yada, Yada, Yada Part 2

Hubby and I had an early morning conversation that went something like this:

Him - "Since you're awake....I'm starting to get your rash."
    Me - "Huh?"
Him - "What's on your schedule today? I'm going to call the Dr.'s office and see if they can get us in. I looked on the internet this morning and I think we might have shingles."
   Me -  "Hmm...let me see?"
Him - "They don't itch yet, but they look like I'm getting the same thing.  I don't think these are bug bites. Anyone can get shingles at any time out of the blue and we need to get prescriptions.  We might be contagious."
    Me - "Oh."
Him - "I really think we should get these looked at, we might have something contagious.  I'll call around 8.  Is it okay if we just see the PA?  I doubt we'll get in to see the Dr."
    Me -"Let me see them."
Him -"Really....see?  I'm going to work from home.  I'll try to get a late afternoon appointment, and just stop working early.  We can both go in at the same time. "
    Me -"Um.....I'm going to try to go back to sleep."

About 2 hours later:
Me - "Let me see those things again. ? Yours aren't red like mine, and you said they didn't itch.  Are you getting more?"
    Him - "I don't know."
Me - "Are you still planning on calling the Dr.,  I'm okay with seeing the PA.  Have they started to itch?  Someone said they could be scabies?  Can you look up scabies on your computer?  It's been too long, I can't remember what scabies look like or how you get them."
   Him - " I'll call a little after 8."
Me - "Well, mine really itch and yours don't.  They look more like scabies than shingles, but they really don't look like either of them too much.  I'm going to wash the towels.  I know I just washed the sheets, but do you think I should wash them again?"
   Him - "I have a call."

We'd be in serious trouble if we both "woke up" at the same time.

I am soooo tired of going to the doctor!!  The nurse came and started with the usual weight check.  Hubby and I made a pact right then and there to not look at each other's weight.  The nurse couldn't suppress a giggle.  After the usual check in questions and the nurse had left, I told Hubby that I was probably doomed to getting a shot in the butt.  He informed me that he was going to laugh at me if I did.  The final verdict was allergic reactions to something....mine being more severe.  We've been seeing this Dr./PA for over 20 years, so we all teased each other a lot.  We both got shots in the butt - which brought even more laughter from the couples room!!  As we were leaving with orders for prescriptions and advice for some over the counter stuff, the nurse couldn't help herself, "You two quit rolling around in whatever it was!"  We still don't know what it is we're reacting to, but are suspicious that it is something that we were exposed to during last weekend's outdoor adventures.  At least we are making lemonade out of our lemons - with LOTS of added sugar!

Gratitude for:
- A "double shot" of steroid, X 2
- "just an allergy" - the best words of the day!
- Itch relief!!
