Granny's gone and done it again

[BigBlueHen53]

We wormed the lavender babies tonight and there were only nine. I guess it was one of those the dog got.

OKay just remember Granny asked for it, the ghoul. First is left leg, the one with suspected spider bite. Still itches but is healing from the center.

What is really giving me fits is right leg, poison ivy, REALLY itchy/ burny, seems like more lesions keep appearing, plus more showing up on my arms and elbows! Google says they can continue to appear for up to 21 days after exposure, woo-hoo. This is a whole lot of not very much fun at all.

Have you spread that to a piece of fabric in the way of clothing, blanket, sheet, etc and keep it spreading on you?

No. When I got home I washed with soap and water and my clothing was washed as well. It's just still breaking out, as Google said it can, in someone who's never been exposed before. My DH is completely immune, the rotten cad! Lol

ETA He was rooting it out of a little garden with his BARE HANDS and BARE ARMS!!! While I was very carefully using tools to try to keep it from touching me. Apparently I failed.

About my neighbor ... he said if the dog gets out and into the chickens again ... he will shoot her himself. So I know he is serious about not letting it happen again. He will do whatever he can to prevent it.

Wow! You really got it. I never saw poison ivy rash that dark without having more light rashes surrounding it. Did they check at the hospital to make sure it's poison ivy? That must be terrible itchy. Hugs and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Geez Blue. I can see the bite is better but your poor legs...Are you putting anything on that? The pink stuff maybe? I dont remember the name of it. Ive never had that before either.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

well, at least you match your sheets.

Calamine lotion?

Thanks! The hospital had no interest in my right leg (poison ivy). They'll only check you for one thing, and the "spider bites" were the main concern. The ivy was just starting to develop, it didn't look that bad yet. It started out as a series of blisters that later blended together into the one big blob.

No, no calamine lotion, they gave me a steroidal creme that's way more powerful than that. I was using cortisone creme on it, but what they gave me is stronger than that, too.

well, at least you match your sheets.

That's our Granny, always looking on the bright side!

The left leg looks so much better! Whew, at least that one's on the way out! Stupid poison ivy though. It's good you read up on it as it isn't an easy thing to get rid of!
