I feel I can’t put this on twitter or facebook because people I’m friends with know this person but….
I went to a minute clinic to get a skin thing checked out and the PA they examined me was a kid 2 years ahead of me in my bachelors program (and a guy my friend had a huge crush on so I heard about him a lot) told me “I’m not sure what you have. I don’t think it’s what you think It is because it looks different than these pictures on the internet of babies with the virus.” And I almost rolled my eyes because I’m 24 and even I know a baby who can’t walk and has a newer immune system than me will present different symptoms.
So then I had a panic attack because this guy scared me into thinking my rash on my face, hands, and feet was worse than what I thought it was and I drove home to my mom to have someone at my old clinic look at me.
The nurse walked in and, without asking me why I was there, asked if I had been exposed to hand foot and mouth disease and I said yes. Then the doctor confirmed my initial thought that I have this virus and the first guy scared me all day for nothing. I wasn’t even looking for treatment in particular. I just wanted a medical professional to tell me it was what I thought and nothing more or less than that.
So now I’m quarantined at my parents’ house until I can go back to work because I live with a 20 month old who I’m pretty sure gave this to me in the first place but never got sick.
Nothing will ruin your 20’s more than thinking you should have your life together already.
this.. is so hard… to keep in mind…
I do a lot of things, I’m just not very good at any of them. I’m just very mediocre at doing a lot of random things. That’s my talent.
When you love tequila and your best friend’s bachelorette party is may 5 in a big city and she warns everyone ahead of time not to let you do too many tequila shots :(
