bad aunt, fan moment, and gip

[eviltammy]

I am a bad aunt. I have shingles - luckily they don't hurt too much. But guess who's niece was just diagnosed with chicken pox today?


And, over at dailyanimals, the daily animal is a capybara.

It's required here too, I thought. The docs had trouble diagnosing her because they don't see it often anymore. It was either from me - or a friend of hers who visited Nicaragua and came back with it (or something similar). She already looks and feels better, though itchy.

And - TMI moment - the only way we can figure that she got it from me would be that great urban legend of a disease spreader - the toilet seat :)
I have a small - 3-5 bumps - patch on the front of my upper thigh and a larger patch on my right buttock.

And we're going to the beach next week to spread it around there ::eg::

I told her I gave her the pox because she said Ember was fat :p

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Isn't chicken pox one of those things that they just have to be exposed to in order to get? Like someone in the same room having it? I thought that was how all the kids always used to get it from other kids.

I know in the stories and movies the parents always used to expose the other kids so they'd all get it at once and get it over with :) Not really sure how it spreads.

And Ember may weigh 6 or so pounds now - she weighed 5 pds when we got her. Bad niece!

It is. She was--either from her aunt (Herpes zoster is Herpes zoster, says T, shingles can cause chicken pox in others) or from her friend.

Yep, that's what I thought. I was trying to disprove evil's toilet seat theory. *g*

Disprove! Disprove! Then the *very* small amount of guilt I have can go away!
(hey, she dissed the cat!)(and I'm still a follower of Methos when it comes to guilt)

consider it disproved.

but you should still feel guilty because she probably still got it from you.

Nah! And we're going to take our diseased selves to the beach next week!
