Could I BE wearing any more accessories?!

The hives block party that has taken over my body continued to get worse today, so I went back into the hospital and got a new mix of delicious pills to hopefully reclaim my lovely pale skin back to its pale non-red and non-bumpy glory.  I'm glad to report that the hives are already responding and starting to go away.  I'm not sure if you know HOW MUCH of a downer it is to get through something as scary as brain surgery, only to have your body say "well too bad! screw you! it's rash time!"  It really affected me, and the slow vanishing of my hives now is having equally uplifting improvements to my attitude.

My friend Sydnie picked me up earlier to today to take me to the hospital, and I was sporting a new hat, a scarf (to cover my hives), a jacket, and sunglasses.  I looked like I was on the run from paparazzi, according to Sydnie.  It reminded me of that Friends episode where Joey puts on a ton of clothes on top of each other and says, "I'm Chandler Bing.  Could I BE wearing any more clothes?!"  I felt like that today, except it was "Could I BE wearing any more accessories?!"

The male version of me today

I'm still not breathing a sigh of relief about the results of my pathology, but I'm sure as I continue to adjust and adapt I'll feel more thankful and lucky about the prognosis.  I think I still just need a bit more time.  But things are improving, so that's good.  :)

I'm looking forward to a hopefully sunny weekend in Seattle with friends, hats, and clean shampooed hair.
