a doctor's mistake causes a patient (me) a lot of pain!

Those of you who have seen me during the past few days have seen my skin getting from bad to worse. I finally couldn't take the itching as well as the swelling so i activated my COBRA insurance and went to the dermatologist.

i love my dermatologist, he's a very nice and a knowledgeable guy. my skin is SO BAD right now and during our session today, he kept on mentioning this "blahblah" cream and i said "no, you gave me this other cream to use". and he was apologetic and said "there must've been a miscommunication with the nurse". yes, there's prb mis-communication, but my arms and legs have gotten worse b/c of the wrong medicine.

at first i thought it was the flea problem getting worse, but now that it's taken care of, it's actually the MEDICINE!!! he told the nurse to give me a anti-inflammation medicine... the only way to inject it is on my butt! oh my goodness, i have not gotten a needle on my butt for over a decade or two probably. oh the horror...

next week when i start my new job, i hope it'll recover by then or else my coworker will think i have some skin disease. yuck!
