    Okay, Friday is my traditional "bad luck" day. Anywho I thought I had a weird rash or something a couple of days ago - it started spreading on my left forearm but there was no itching - which rules out poison ivy or chiggers.

    So I went to the ER after work here on post (no sense wasting vacation time) and I have an infection from getting cut or poked at some point. I'm always getting cut or poked - but this time somehow I got an infection. Yada yada yada antibiotics and watch for spreading of the infected area. The infected area is outlined with a marker so I can see if it's spreading or retreating. Oh and I got a tetanus shot because I couldn't remember the last time I got one.

    So no weird flesh eating virus action or anything dramatic. :techman:
