Thread Name: BS: Working (at last) in Guam
Subject: RE: BS: Working (at last) in Guam
This is not a spider bite. There is a wound in the center, not sure where I got that, which is now black with a white border. The red inflamed area is still growing. I have three little wounds on that leg. A second one is now in the red area and is itching. It too has developed a black center. Must be time for another doctor visit.

Things are a little complicated here by the upcoming holiday. June 21 is Liberation Day. Guam has a huge annual celebration of the liberation of the island in 1944. Events culminate in a parade down Route 1 in Hagatna. Apparently the parade is huge and takes hours to pass. Every village and organization puts in a float. Businesses close all over the island, that is, all but the ones devoted to the tourists. My doctor's office will only be seeing urgent care cases without an appointment. So, I guess I'm off to wait in the waiting room.
