re: #17 retired cynic

I was that sick with measles and chickenpox. I remember they had to keep the room very dark for fear of eye damage, and remember itching, and burning up and all. Shudder.

I came down with a second case of chickenpox when I was stationed in Rota. My Senior Chief wound up sending everyone in the division to the clinic to make sure they were all right. I spent over two weeks at home in bed mostly.

I also wound up with scarlet fever when I was in Oklahoma, also for the second time. (The VA wasn’t happy either with that or the mumps case I had, telling me to stay the hell away from the VA.)

I’m beginning to think I’m going to cycle through all those again.
