Never Too Old For Measles....

Well, much to my surprise, I found out that one is never too old to get measles! On Thursday, 11 Dec., my friend Kim noticed I had a rash on my neck. Then it moved to my stomach. I hadn't been feeling up to par for a couple of weeks. Cough, sore throat, feverish and tired. Kim swore I had measles and convinced me to go the the clinic. Sure enough, the Doc said I had German measles! Unbelievable. I could have sworn I had measles when I was a kid. So, I called Mom to ask, and she informed me I had the "old fashioned measles", not to be confused with Rubella-German Measles.

Quarantined to my flat for 5 days so as not to contaminate others, I watched the rash move to my arms and legs.....but it is disappearing now! So, I'm free to get out of this flat, and just in time for a Christmas Braai tonight!

You know, I often hear the phrase "You're Never to Old.......", but I would have never thought that I would complete that phrase with "....to get Measles!"
