Ew, diseases!

My home sitting and plant watering friend called: She has chicken pox! And I’m coming home for the easter. The disease is supposed to transfer only via droplet infection, but I’m concerned anyway. I called to my mother to ask if I’ve had it as a child. She said that most probably I have not. She also informed me that for catching it, it might be enough to be in a same room with a virulent person and that because of the secondary diseases it’s counted as dangerous on adults. So, depending on the stage of the disease she will have when I arrive, it’s either catching a ride in her car to home or “Throw me my keys!” An excellent reason to clean the flat the first thing, anyway.

Also, at work I’m trying to make a media analysis after news abstracts made by somebody else. It just doesn’t work that way. For the added bad luck, the authot of the abstract has managed to strip all additional info off and produce only the essential facts. Argh! I don’t need to know only what was said, I need to know how it was said! Without that info, I’m not sure if the analysis can be made at all. Unless I’ll add some of my own views in it, but that would be unprofessional.

I met twillingar on Wednesday and I got to chat about fanfics, slash, livejournal and fandom wanks with her. Good time. Also she loaned her “Eroica With Love” mangas for me :). Already read the first one. According to the fan fiction, I waited for something a tad more serious, but it’s very light hearted. It’s still good, but very, very light hearted.

Poor her! But if she got it allready, she'll propably not be contagious anymore during easter. Lets hope so, since I'll be visiting at easter too! With my baby...

And by the way... I have a clear memory of all of us sisters having chicken-pox when we were children. (S during christmas, and not eating anything, and we having it right after her, when the school should have started. She was quite envious...) I'll try to check that.

That was tuhkarokko, not chicken pox (= vesirokko)

I remember it being chicken-pox, allright. Measles we had too, me and S, but you did not.

Checked my old papers. No measles (tuhkarokko)... But yes, we have had (or at least I have, propably you too) chicken-pox (vesirokko -87) and German measles (vihurirokko -81)

Hmm. MOther has the pink card board health cards in the plastic sleewes which should hold the information on that, but she can reach them only in sunday.

I have my own pink card board healt card right here in front of me. Got it from mom a couple of years ago. I checked from it. Your card might hold different information, since this one is only mine. Consult mother, if your card is still with her.
