Close call...

20 June 2016: Monday's good thing post was delayed because I was a bit busy. But I think it was for the best because it wasn't until the next day (today) that I really understood what that good thing was. My friend/colleague, Carol, was at A&R yesterday and suffering from some nasty poison ivy, especially on her lower arm. She had it all wrapped up, but by the evening, she was quite uncomfortable and we could see the infection moving up her arm--we could literally see her veins getting redder. We had to push her to go to urgent care, but thank God she did. If she had waited, it could have gotten very bad. The doctors drew lines on her arm to show how close she was to the point of no return.

Go to the doctor, folks. And listen to your friends when they are bugging you about it. So glad she got some care and that she'll be fine.
