Hello everyone and happy Monday. I hope everyone had a good Monday. Mine was rather busy and kinda painful. I got to work and didn't have to fill in as reception which was nice; however I soon developed a rash from my desk; turns out Housekeeping ignored my note and cleaned my desk with one of their industrial strength cleaners; which I am of course very allergic too.


Found this out at my old job so I usually clean my own office and housekeeping doesn't touch it. I usually use all natural cleaners since I know that doesn't cause Contact Dermatitis. I was so annoyed because I first found out I was sensitive to certain cleansers last year and having my arm rest against my desk as I type gets my forearm very rashy and itchy. Doc remembered it from last year; obviously he was laughing at how ironic that it happened again. So now I get apply Kenalog all over my forearm since that clears it up quicker than anything and also soothes my itchiness.


I called housekeeping and yup same cleaner that caused my last reaction so I politely asked them not to clean my office that I clean it myself with cleaner I'm not allergic too. Like one reaction is bad enough lets have another reaction a year apart. Ironically its just this one cleaner; I'm not allergic to the wipes we use; I'm not allergic to the cleaners I use. I just hate having my whole right forearm covered in an itchy annoying rash; not to mention the dirty looks you get when you leave it uncovered from the patients.


M of course was concerned about a measly rash. Doc had to remind him that I've very rash prone apparently since that stupid Holter caused the same sort of reaction just in an different area granted that was due to something else. So yeah guess he is right rash prone.


Then I got a text from my father to have dinner and invite M and that was just a hot mess that I do not want to get into. Let's just say I doubt that happens again. Reminder about his age; my managed problems that I can't control. Just not a good dinner so we skipped out and got my favorite for dinner; not that I needed fast food but I wanted it.


I get to see the Cardio on Wednesday for my follow up to see if the meds are working which they are so hopefully I won't have to see him every two weeks. That would be very very nice.


Hugs to everyone
