If I didn't feel like death warmed over I'd go shoot a picture - I still have poison ivy pretty good... I'm not getting much done at all. Yesterday my dad brought over some Zanfel and it has helped. This is so massive. It is going to take a lot more Zanfel to get rid of this monster. Then the skin where it was is pretty ragged. But if I remember I'll do a photo shoot one of these days. I still don't have her stitching. She is out on the patio under a tarp. She weighs too much for me to manhandle her about so I have to wait for DH to help. I tried putting her up on CL as is to no avail. I believe she would be a good one for quilting. Take her teeth out so she could FM.
Miriam I really feel for you. I am just getting over a case of poison oak and it drove me crazy, especially at night! If I got out in the sun, it just went crazy itching and oozing - and I only had it in a few places, but my lip was the worst! I cut a branch and it hit me in the face! Your poison ivy is way worse than I had!~ Mine is about gone, just a few red places, I hope you get over yours soon!

I'm quite a basket case. I got some Zanfel and it does a job on what you cover but then if you miss one or don't get it enough it goes crazy there too. Benedryl is the pits. I'm afraid to put on much clothes. I'm suppose to be working - I'm glad some of it is flexible but flexible only goes so far.... This is round two for this summer for me.

AND I'm REALLY feeling bad for Billy. What he is going/gone through must be horrible.
