Poison Oak....not fun

We were working on the landscape around the house and I managed to get into some poison oak.  Colin got a few spots but I pretty much had it from calf to shoulder on both sides of me.  I was trying to tough it out but it seemed to be spreading and when I showed the pediatrician at the girls' check up last week she said I really need to go get a prescription to clear it up.  So I thought it would be fun to go from the pediatrician to the walk in clinic and just skip nap time for Hannah.  We were in and out in under 45 minutes, I think the two screaming toddlers ransacking the place may have helped get us some preferential treatment.  The doctor took one look at me and immediately started writing prescriptions.  Just a little FYI for you too, he said that it was spreading (after a week from when I first started itching) because it had gotten into my blood stream and could then move on to new areas.  I got my prescriptions filled and am almost back to normal after a few days and only seem to still get itchy right before bed for some reason.  I will spare you any visuals, it is not pretty, but luckily the weather is cooperating and cooled off a bit so I don't look ridiculous when I wear longer sleeves and pants when I go out so spare the public.
