Is this doing the rounds in your area?
Its one thing after another in this house. I had a long running thread about a pile which has literally just started to not cause me daily pain after about 6 weeks, then this. (For anyone who read my arse thread, it’s now pea-sized and doesn’t hurt any more and hopefully should shrivel up soon)
Baby DD must have picked it up at a nursery open day (no kids there, but the toys all out which she played with) as we don’t do baby groups and haven’t seen any other children recently.
We had a holiday booked for next Friday. Baby DD seems on the mend, scabs are healing over and no new spots so we remained hopeful. But unfortunately, I had chills and aches on Friday, developed pins and needle hands last night and have come out in a rash today. We won’t be going anywhere so the holiday is cancelled.
It’s vile. I’ve worked in schools for the past decade and have never heard of it. I can’t believe NHS advice is to allow kids to go into school or nursery with it. We have been so so poorly.
Anyway, just a rant. I am so so gutted and disappointed. DH is hopeful that we can change flights and fly out a few days later and at least get a short break in, but realistically- I’m not going to be better.
If we were doing self catering, scabs were healing and could keep to ourselves on a beach somewhere- that would be different- but we were staying with friends. They have kids too and we can’t show up with a medieval plague. Massive dick move.
