Leaving Disney

The original plan was to go to Hollywood Studios Wednesday and then head back to my parents' house. Unfortunately, because of Kris's legs, we had to skip it because of the rash and resulting swelling on her calves and ankles. She was willing to put up with it, but I decided I would rather just go back to my parents' house and have a doctor take a look at her legs and see if there was anything she could get to make it go away.

This is what her legs looked like at about 10:00 Tuesday night, only 6 hours after the pictures at EPCOT:


It was even worse in the morning, so I think we made the right call by not going to Hollywood Studios.

Trip to the Doctor

Once we got back to The Villages and after unpacking the car we got the girls set up with lunch. While the girls ate we checked on where we could go to have Kris's legs looked at. There is an Urgent Care Clinic at Sumpter Landing, so we hopped back in the car and took a drive there to see a doctor.

After filling out all the paperwork and waiting, Kris finally got to see the doctor. The diagnosis - Contact Dermatitis. She ended up getting a shot and prescriptions for some steroids and hydrocortizone creme. From the time we got there until the time we got her prescriptions filled was two hours.

We still have no idea with what she came into contact, but at least we have something to help clear it up now.
