Hi, Barb

"It's amazing how interconnected our body systems are."

Ain't that the truth! Last week, I went to see my dermatologist for the first time since several months before this sepsis business. As I'm a baldy, and Denver's mile-high sun can be pretty merciless, I've been doing six-month follow-ups with my dermatologist for several years. She knows me as "Outhouse Ray" because those early follow-ups were all to treat how regularly I bashed the top of my bald head entering and exiting our cabin's outhouse. Last week, I showed her the top of my head but assured her, "No outhouses this time!" Her reply reminded me of the body's interconnectedness: "You've had sepsis, Ray. Signs of a sepsis infection can erupt in the most unlikely places –– like the top of a person's head in the form of little 'scabies,' just like the scabies you got when you'd bang your head on the outhouse door."
