Creeping Signs of Death

Most of us get rashes from time to time, be it poison ivy or something more serious such as shingles.  What do you when there’s a rash for which there’s no cure?

John has a rash on the back of his neck and across his shoulders.  He says it doesn’t bother him.  I first noticed it, on just the back of his neck, when he came home from the Sunrise assisted care facility.  Hospice nurse Kim thinks it may be John’s high IgM level, the ugly protein in John’s system that’s increasing because there’s no way to stop it now.
