Chicken Pox

I just got back from the doctor today and found out that I have chicken pox. I hate it. I never had it before and was hoping to never have it ever but unfortunately I got it. Quite recently. It started last night. I really thought they were just rashes due to excessive heat and sweating.

Dang! Whoever was the cause of this (apparently it's highly contageous), whoever gave me this should be cursed. Grrrr!!!

I'm not concerned about the disease really because I know it will heal and my body will soon develop the anitbodies for it but what I'm worried about are the sores themselves and the scars it will leave behind. As of now I have them all over my back and some parts of my shoulders. I don't want them to spread on my face or any other exposed parts of my skin because it's embarassing. I have to be gone for about two weeks plus, I have to deal with all the scars after. Shit! Then we have field testing on Tuesday and an exam on Friday. What a perfect timing.

I feel so disgusted with myself right now because I feel like I'm an "incubus of viral plague" (quoted from Miranda Priestley). I really hope this ends by Tuesday.

Updates:

I had them spread all over my body. God they feel awful. They're not as itchy as other people say, I'm even wondering if this really is chicken pox, but they're grossing me out. I don't even know no how to wash myself with all of these blisters. I can't even wash my face properly that dead skin cells are starting to build up on my t-zone. Urggghhh.

They're starting to dry up and scabs are forming. God I look awful. It's really terrible looking at myself right now. I'm gonna have to lay-off the mirror for a while. How would I look after all these scabs wear off? There would be dark spots all over. Hmm. I really hope a tube of Spot Corrector will do the trick. Right now, all I could do is wait
