My daughter has chicken pox..... I am glad she has them now, unlike when I did when I was 19.
**** Her school year is over- the doc says she will need to stay out of school 10 days- which shit-cans the year for her.
As for me having them when I was 19- it sucked ! .......
I had them in my hair- between my toes, in my mouth, and on something else that I don't care to mention.
I looked like a burn victim.... and I have a small scar on my face that shows the severity of it.
My daughter has had the chickenpox vaccine, so it could be worse.
19? Jeez, that would suck. Isn't your daughter in her early teens? That can't be fun. The chickenpox at that age, I mean-- not actually just being that age. (Although I seem to recall that being a teenager wasn't exaclty a barrel of monkey fun.)
I had the chickenpox when I was about 5, and my dad gave me corn starch baths about every six hours. Itchy itchy badness!

And I know what you mean about the sores coming up strange places...I even had them inside my ears. They hurt, itched and stank.
I was glad to be rid of that.
