I've got Chicken Pox

Isn't that wonderful? /sarcasm. I only noticed it last Friday when I noticed "pimples" on my scalp. Mentioned it to my wife who thought that it might be stress related, which is very possible, as I have been quite busy in the last few months.

By Friday afternoon, there were more of them, by Friday evening I had them on my arms and was sweating like I was in a vegetable steamer! By Saturday morning, it looked a hell of a lot worse. went to see my doctor, who is a great guy, looked at me, said " you have Chicken Pox, you are highly infectious, good luck, this is just the beginning" Which told me he hadn't had it as a kid either because I was in and out of his room like Flash Gordon!

Nonetheless, he was right, by Sunday night, I was a pincushion, by Monday night I looked like I had foolishly tried to eat the honey out of a bee hive, without using my hands, and without protective gear.

In the interim, in fact, including today, I have been suffering with a fever, which makes me sweat like I am living in the vegetable steamer..

My only two condolences that I have is that a little bit earlier this year I managed to finally get Satellite TV at home, and I got a new laptop, which I will post on, later.

At any rate, this is just a reminder for anyone who has not had chicken pox yet :

Try and get it when you are a kid, because when you are an adult, itr is much, much, much worse...

Take a look at the photo's if you don't believe me.
