Yeah, I just assumed everyone had been immunised these days.
A wrong assumption, evidently!

Mind you, I had measles when I was 25, despite having had the jab when I was a kid. I don't recommend it. I've never been so ill in my life.

I caught chicken pox three years ago.
it was wretched.

Yup
Had that a couple of years after the measles! Nothing like as bad as the former though.

I actually got a few pretty big scars from it.
I have a raised pink weal on my left shoulder blade the size of an Aussie 5 cent coin.

Battle scars!
I've got one big one, but it's on my ribcage, under my left arm, so not really on show that much.
