Epilogue to An adventure I don't want...

An adventure I don't want to have.

After finishing that post I decided that there was absolutely no point in seeing the Japanese doctor. I called my insurance company and they told/assured me of a clinic in Roppongi where the staff are fully bilingual. In addition to checking with the insurance company, when called to make the appointment I asked as well. I went Tuesday morning and sure enough everything was in English. It was so wonderful to speak full/non-broken English with somebody who could legitimately provide me with information. It also felt good to spell my last name (m, c, capital E...). The doctor told me that the stuff in my finger is a mild allergic reaction to something but it's too mild to warrant allergy testing. My skin is really sensitive, so basically it's my skin sensitivity flaring up again; just in a new and initially alarming form. Crisis averted!! But thanks to everyone who was concerned. (^_^)
