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.
