The Joy of Rash

Yes rash I said. I worked very hard this past Sunday clearing small trees and vines in the backyard along our fence. Monday afternoon I discovered my arm had little red dots all over it. I thought nothing of until the early hours of Tuesday morning my arm just above my elbow itched like crazy. I woke up hours later to find a rash. What the heck? In all of my years I have never to my knowledge had a rash anywhere. Later Tuesday night it had spread all over my forearm and then on my other arm. Okay seriously what the heck? Wednesday morning I woke up with rash from wrist to elbow on my right arm and two huge spots b/w my wrist and elbow on my left arm. If I had to take a guess I have for the first time in 30 years on this earth have either poison oak or poison ivy. Wow. I never thought that turning 30 would be so great. I am very fortunate not to have grazed the family jewels or anything in that area with the wicked poison plants. I would have been in a world of hurt had that happened. So my arms have that dull pink calamine lotion look to them this evening. This stuff really sucks. It really has got me down in the dumps. And that is all from The World of According to Thad.

Thank you for specifying what type of rash you had. As your wife, I have the right to know what type of rashes you suffer from... ;)

Love, Beth
