Itch, Itch, Scratch, Scratch
That is me today! Oh my goodness, my little trip through the woods last week in search of my little one has left me in an itchy pickle! I have poison ivy up both of my calves, a little on my thighs, on my left arm and shoulder and a little on the left side of my neck, and this just in, it is now in between my stupid toes! I wonder why it takes so long to show up. I have learned a lot about poison ivy the past 2 days though. Did you know it isn't contagious once you have washed the sap off your skin? What about that you cant spread it to other parts of your body when a blister breaks? It just takes longer to show up in different places on your body, it doesn't spread. I never knew that! I also have a nasty cut on my legt that I contracted on my voyage. I went to the DR for that today and of course it is now infected so I am on meds for that for a week. Since I don't know where exactly I got the scratch I had to get a tetanus shot as well. I am just so thankful that Kaylee is safe most important, but also that she isn't the one who ended up with all this crap. I cant even imagine how miserable a 2 year old would be with poison ivy! It SUCKS!
