Guess What?;s

 I saw my doctor about my rash today, and he says it's shingles.  He prescribed anti-virals, and told me not to go near people who have not had chicken pox, or people whose immune systems are compromised, like chemo patients.  So far, it's just a small, painful rash on my arm.  There's a chance it could spread.  Hopefully, the anti-virals will help keep it from spreading too much.  In addition to the painful rash, I have swollen glands, and a low grade fever, which makes me feel pretty lousy in general.  

So, I called my Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist, and have to reschedule my sinus surgery to June 25th.  I'm more upset about that, than the discomfort I am experiencing with the shingles.

So, as I recuperate from the shingles, how can I pray for you?  

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

I'm sure we'll all be praying for you hon! Hope it is a mild case, I hear it's a miserable thing. To everyone else if you want to avoid Trish's misery there is a shingles vaccine you can get and I believe most insurance co. cover it. I just got mine a few weeks ago and now I'm very glad I did!
