Today I woke up with a diamond shaped rash on the back of my head. I called the oncology department here in Storm Lake and a nurse from the Sioux City oncology department called me back. She seemed to insist that if my rash was itchy that it was most likely shingles...WHAT!? Maybe it is a rash from the stitching in my wig? No, the nurse insisted that I should go to see my family doctor because I CAN NOT see an oncology doctor and possibly expose all the other cancer patients to shingles. You bet, I will go sit in the waiting room of the doctor's office with all the hacking sniffling people and expose myself to that mess.
I indeed went to the doctor, even the receptionist at the front reception was sick. Right away the nurse could tell it wasn't shingles. She said that a shingles rash doesn't cross the body. HMMM nurse in Sioux City, I don't think you asked me enough questions. On the bright side, I now have a steroid cream for my rash caused by the stitching in the back of my wig. I hope that I don't get sick from sitting in the germ free waiting room. I also need to figure out what to do about the back of my wig.
