Shingles

I have shingles.  Not, not the kind that make your roof all pretty and waterproof.  I have the kind that produce a nasty rash full of blisters and red blotches that burn deep into your skin and make you want to rip your skin off.  Nice huh?

So much for a great start to the new year.  Thank goodness my HSA was preloaded with money from my employer, cause my medicines alone were over $77. 

Occupational Health cleared me for work since I don't have direct patient contact but I am not allowed to be around pregnant women, people with immune compromised systems or those who have not yet had chicken pox.  So how do I find that out...can you see me asking the 100+ people in my open-air office, "Are you pregnant, do you have HIV, are you undergoing chemo, or have you ever had chicken pox?"  Yeah, I should be a big hit around the office.

I think I'll just work from home for a few days.
