Congratulations on not becoming a character in a William Gibson novel.

I expect to grow up to be Julius Deane.

Better luck next time!

I've always wanted leprosy.

I hope you get better soon.

Lie. For our sake. It's a lot more interesting when it's MSRA.

You could throw in an amputation scare and be miraculously pulled back from the brink, just for extra credit.

And I'm such a public health geek that I still want to know the organism's name. (See how I just said organism's name?)

I did break out in a rash this morning as a reaction to the sulfa drugs, if that’s any help. :)

I don’t actually know what it is. After the rash settles down I’ll be going back in to have the bacterial cyst removed, though, so I’ll ask then.
