So I have been debating whether or not to put the picture up for this one and you can tell which side won.
Wednesday evening I closed my store and came home to a half awake Donny who said, "Hey babe! Look at my legs...I don't know what happened...". After inspecting them I tried to think of all the possibilities for why his legs-and other parts of his body would look like he was in a nasty "cat fight".
That's being too nice......it was absolutely ridiculous!!! His legs from the top of his thigh down to his feet were covered in bright red, scratch-like marks. It looked like the cat had won, and sauntered away with a sassy grin on it's face.
So back to my possibilities....
As I shook the bed to wake him I said, "Donny, I got it! I know what happened: you scratched your legs while sanding down that wood last night. Or, you're allergic to whatever oils they used on you during you massage on Monday."
Donny's reply, "Uhhh.....I don't know." Obviously he was not awake.
So now the story shifts to Friday. This thing had begun to appear on his head, his chest, his back, his arms, EVERYWHERE!!!!! And it is now itchy. In the mean time Donny has done research on the computer as well as spoken to the doctors in his clinics and contacted the massage place and solved the mystery.
It's a rash! Weird. Not from being allergic to anything, nor from being stressed-as most rashes occur from. This rash was caused by the extreme pressure received from such activities as a deep tissue massage. It will pop up anywhere, especially the place you received the majority of the pressure-his legs :) :( It's all the toxins being released from his body and it found any way it could to leave-the poor thing.
The remedy: Benedryl, or conditioner applied like lotion.
The lesson learned: watch your massages-you could get a rash! (yikes!)
