Staphed?, His n Hers, Liar
For like two weeks, the area above my ankles, on both legs has been itchy as hell. First I figured it was some bug bite I picked up in our backyard wilderness. But it hasn’t gone away and in fact seems to have spread somewhat. I started worrying it could be a staph infection. I would have never guessed that except for an episode of Ultimate Fighter I saw last season that had the various fighters getting staph infections from rolling around the sweaty mats. With as dirty and unkempt as my gym is, I easily could see a similar scenario.
When I was doing my 300 workout Friday I noticed one guy scratching the shit out of his ankles, just like I have been. Well anyway I went to the doctor today. She said it didn’t look like staph but she prescribed me some twice a day cream that should clean it up. We will see. I have been trying very hard to not scratch it. If I break down and do scratch it, the entire area starts to itch even worse and sets off a snowball of crazy, rub to the bone scratching.
When I came back from the gym there was an elderly couple coming in from the parking lot. They were very old and feeble looking and they both were pushing walkers, slowly. Yes, they drove there.
The old guy that wears nothing but the same muscle shirt at the gym must read my blog. He made a liar out of me by showing up today working out in a button down hawaiian shirt…
