Bitten

I feel like my body is a giant chew toy for insects. I am covered with bites all over my legs, feet, face, and arms. I look like I have chicken pox, and yet still the bugs find me a good candidate for futher blood sampling.

I scratch the itchy bites at night when I'm sleeping and quite a few of them have gotten infected and oozey. It's gross.

I also have bite marks and bruises on my arms where a two year old crunched on me when I was holding her down for an IV insertion last week. Poor little thing. She had us both in tears by the time the ordeal was over.
