oh gosh poor trucks!!!

I was thinking of a good place to share this and you provided it for me hehehe. This is how I posted it on my genealogy board (I knew my family history geeks would get a kick out of it since its related to old medical terminology)

I would just like to thank my mother for reminding me today that the Dr has diagnosed me with something that used to be called Erysipelas - An acute, febrile, infectious disease, caused by a specific group of streptococcus bacterium and characterized by a diffusely spreading, deep-red inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes causing a rash with a well-defined margin; Contagious skin disease, due to infection of the blood with vesicular bulbous lesions. Synonyms: Rose, Saint Anthony's Fire.

My 3rd great grandfather died of it at Camp Douglas during the civil war laugh.gif I REALLY needed to hear that today, considering I have the same thing, which today is called Cellulitis and is still life threatening if not treated with anti biotics (although my form is not contagious at all, there are a few different forms of it now, caused by either strep or staph)

I just thought I would share the laugh I got when I emailed mama to tell her what the dr said and her first words were....Gee how nice to know you have the same thing that killed Logan Inman.


hehehehe actually the laugh did me good, I think its scared my hubby though!!
