And it wasn't even a vampire. (But I did go see Eclipse, today. Go, Jacob!)
Anyway, I noticed this strange mark on my arm two days ago. Being the hypochondriac that I am, I called the doctor. I spoke to the nurse and told her that I have a very odd bite on my arm. I described it in detail. I said that it is three inches long and shaped like an "s." When she didn't seem impressed, I told her that I am in a compromised health situation, due to the fact that I am recovering from cancer. She said that she would check with the doctor and call me back.
Two hours later, she called and said the following: "Doctor says it sounds kind of bizarre, but that she isn't worried about it. Just keep an eye on it."
Right.
It's shaped like an "s." It looks like a parasite bit me and is travelling along my vein. No big deal. So, today, I called back and said that I would just feel better if someone looked at it.
Upon seeing my disfigured arm, my doctor uttered the following words: "Woah. I'm glad you came in. That looks like a tick bite. We'd better put you on some antibiotics. It might be Lyme's disease."
Awesome. I could have told you that. In fact, I think I did ... yesterday. Once again, I have taken my medical well being out of the hands of the professionals and taken charge, myself.
"Just wait a few days and keep an eye on it?!" Don't we pay these people a LOT of money?
Ughhh!
