Huzzah! The Lurgy has a name!

Yes folks, I have Impetigo! And also antibiotics! Go me! well, at least I know what it is now, and it should all be cleared up in a few days. Still looks terrible tho :-(

In other news, nothing much happened today, did some more of my beading, and recieved a book from the lovely Mr indovan, bless him, he's wonderful!

Other than that, nothing much to report! Except that EVERYONE MUST come to Zombified. Screaming Banshee Aircrew are playing, and I have it on good authority that they rock! So I will be there, with all my cohorts. See you all on June 11th!

I'm not American, so I may see you on 11th June instead. ;P

Hopefully at Beyond the Pale before that though?

Yikes...had that once when I was a kid! Don't remember much about it now, except putting on some funny-smelling, yellow cream, and being happy because I got to spend a few days at home, drawing with some new crayons instead of going to school. ;P

Aw, hon! nasty lurgi - leave nice lady alone!

Zombified sounds great. Is this going to be at the Windsor again?

SBA are Joe's new fave band - they opened at Whitby and went down a storm. And they are incredibly nice people too.

Hope you feel better soon babes,

Ick I had impetigo a few years back. If I remember correctly it's hihly contagious and i'd advise not going anywhere for awhile :( Sadly it doesn't make you feel bad enough to WANT to say home.

http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/en.asp?TopicID=261

"Impetigo is highly contagious. Sensible hygiene precautions prevent the spread of bacteria and reduce the risk of other people catching it:

* children with impetigo should be kept from nursery, playgroup or school until the spots have dried up and are no longer leaking fluid. With the use of antibiotics, impetigo usually heals within a week;
* ensure that they have their own flannel and towel, which must be washed at a high temperature after use;
* restrict touching of the spots;
* encourage frequent hand washing.

To prevent the impetigo returning, keep skin clean and ensure that any condition causing broken skin (e.g. eczema, nappy rash) is treated early."

Hope that's of some help though I expect your doctor told you that. I'm just bored and have net access...

Get well soon hun! It sucks!

I'm on antibiotics so am not contageous! Just look terrible (I've spent the last 2 days at home, and if I have to spend any longer there, I'll SCREAM!)

hmm, sorry to be dumb, but what is impetigo? like a skin infection? or something else?

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's a skin infection! And a damned attractive one to boot!

[silvernik.livejournal.com]

ick! Hope you recover quickly.... having a name to give to something is always such therapy in itself

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

I know, it's following on with the theory that once you name something, it loses its power. Now I know what it is, I can look it up, treat it and get better!

[human-racer.livejournal.com]

Hope you enjoy the book! It's terribly girly and I liked it lots!

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

Always a good recommendation!

[human-racer.livejournal.com]

You might want to wait til you've read it before you say that!

BTW, what was the date of your Hippo Bathday party?

[angelkitty101.livejournal.com]

The 18th I think
