Still blotched

The dreaded blotches have spread, so where as yesterday I was white with red blotches, today I am one big, boiled lobster boy.

The worst place seems to be my hands, which feel tight and swollen and itch. My bottom lip is also badly swollen and deserves the appellation pendulus. The corner of my eyes feel dry and sore and, yup, I'm feeling a little sorry for myself. I've also got a sore throat and feel quite wheezy, so I reckon that all this is some sort of weird response to a viral infection. Viral infection. No one has colds these days, they have a virus or a chest infection or the flu. A cold just doesn't cut it in the 21st Century.

But I've had to cancel a dental appointment, so it ain't all bad.
