Orchids

The black & blue mark that Indy (the cow) gave me a few weeks back has faded through all of the usual color variations - blue, purple, green, and yellow. However, I developed an itchy rash on top of it. Had never had that happen so I did what everyone does - no, I didn't check in w/ my doc - I got on the Internet. However, you need to be careful of what you find on the web. I read that I likely had acute leukemia, abalone poisoning, alcohol-induced pseudo Crushing disease, autoimmune syndrome, and/or aplastic anemia. (That was just the "a's"). I decided it was probably just a really deep bruise and this was another phase of the healing process. That seems to be the case, the rash is now fading too.
