Sick with Chickenpox

Yup. You read it right. Im 30+ and I have chickenpox. I should have had myself vaccinated same time as Ela but didn't do it. Nagkuripot kasi. Ayan tuloy! Now I'm suffering. It's the first day of the rashes and they are freakin MANY and ITCHY!! I'm a scratchy person (that is why I have ugly skin) and this is torture to me. Calamine lotion is helping a little. But I cant put all of it on my body! Oh God help! I hope the outbreak of rashes stops and they heal fast.
And I'm definitely going to miss a lot of things. Kids Run this weekend, Ela's bday celebration in school on Tuesday, and probably the parent-teacher meeting next Friday.
I'm thankful for my very loving, caring and understanding husband. He's been taking care of me & Ela since I got the fever last Tuesday. He's also very patient with Ela. I feel so helpless coz I dont want to be too near Ela coz Im afraid she might also get chickenpox (she's been vaccinated but doc said there is still 10% chance she can get it). Term is almost over and she'll have a bday party in school soon so I dont want her to miss it. Plus I dont want her to be a carrier and infect her friends at school.
So we've also decided to have Lola & Lola to the rescue. They'll be flying in tomorrow night. They'll be 3day early. Had to buy new tickets for them. But it's ok. We need them now badly. I dont want hubby to be sick too from fatigue and stress. And he needs to go back to work on Monday.

I now have to sleep. I hope I dont scratch while sleeping...
