So I started my re-immunizations. I got 5 shots the first time. I could barely move my arms!! That was fun. and for Christmas - Santa gave me chicken pox! Yes, I had them as a child but my immune system hasn't had them yet! Luckily they were juvenile chicken pox and not the adult version (shingles). I hear those are pretty painful. They kept me in the hospital for a few days because children's chicken pox can do some damage to an adult body (I think something in the brain and may make you sterile! like that would be a problem...). I also learned that chicken pox is one of the 8 types of Herpes viruses that affect humans. On the bright, non-itchy side, I should have lifelong protective immunity from further episodes of chickenpox.
What a way to start the new year! I hope yours started better!

Hi Lindsey,
Sorry about the chicken pox, but it's good to read that you're doing better. Your comments don't appear on matchlindsey.org (your last posting there is from January, 2007). Good luck!
in response to the anonymous comment above: i don't know what you mean. when you go to matchlindsey.org, it takes you to this blog and everything from the original matchlindsey.org was transferred onto this blog dating back to June 2006.
If you go to matchlindsey.org, then click on "Lindsey will continue to post updates here," under Lindsey's Updates, the last update is from 01/02/07. This doesn't seem terribly important. I hope your new year is going well.
Hey Lindsey,
Sorry to hear about the chicken pox, but 2008 is going to so rock! You just continue to carry on, kicking cancer's butt.
Su told me that you've returned to classes. Many, many congrats!
You're awesome!
