Day #254 On Being in Bed


Just like these two, Chelsea and Keeper 1995,
I have also been in bed. In bed with poison ivy and off work for a day and a half as I came home early the night before in desparation.
Not for long do I stay in bed, mind you, because the place where it sits and infects my body is not conducive to either lying on my right side nor on my back. Sitting in a chair is not too bad, for a while. Showering is horrible but a must to wash off the yellow infection that leaks continually but the water then causes such as deep need and desire to scratch that I shower only when necessary - which is too often. Once the waters starts to hit the infected area, I need handcuffs to be stopped from scratching; scratchy hard and fast.
Avoid poison ivy.
