Just out of hospital

I repeated the story so many times:
On the Thursday I was working in the Garden and noticed a scratch and some spots which I assumed were insect bites.
Friday there were more.
Saturday I went swimming and thought jokingly: “I hope it’s not infectious”.
Monday 2.30am the spots, intense itching and conjunctivitis was so bad I went to A&E and got prescribed anti-biotics.
Mon-Thursday was spent on the sofa almost 24hr a day watching TV because the background noise stopped me thinking about the itching.
Thursday – I started packing a bag knowing my wife would send me to hospital when she saw me, but also arranging cards and presents for her as it was her birthday.
Thursday ended with me only being able to give a urine sample with help.
Fri – not sure where I was. I can’t be sure as I didn’t have a mirror to look, but much of my body must have been covered with a rash.
Sat – Mon – I must have been in the same ward -I guess I took my first steps unaided on Sat but always unable to sleep more than a few hours at night.
Tues – finally escaped – discovered that I can still type (just) although it feels like rubber bands are pulling all my tendons in.
As for treatment – it’s now a lot simpler with only one A4 sheet filled with chemicals I can’t pronounce. The biggest hassle was working out how to apply all the various different creams – finishing at the lips, then wash the hands that applied the cream, gargle the mouth wash and take the pills with water without swallowing the cream on my hands/lips. Also how does one prevent creams that creep along the body – going into the eyes (horror picture of result may follow)
