tick bites

An interesting morning... Upon finding out that my family doctor is out of town, I went to the local hospital to have them check out my left foot, which, since Sunday, has had a nasty, growing insect bite that has the potential to be a tick bite. We're not sure if it is or not, though they've diagnosed me as having a tick bite and I'm on antibiotics for two weeks to prevent lyme disease. I'm also developing rashes on my arm and--oddly enough--my forehead. And I'm getting sick. Lyme disease, or just a spider bite, poison ivy, and a cold all hitting me at the same time? Who knows?

Ugh.
