Yeah....my father contracted shingles. It was bad and nasty. Just a few weeks ago our local pharmacy was offering FREE shingles vaccinations. Ive been meaning to get one....and finally did.

Shingles = bad....

The virus that causes shingles is the same that causes chicken pox. When you get chicken pox in your childhood the virus stays in your body, sleeping .... but when you have much stress and your immune system is not as good as it should be the virus can come back, you might say it awake a little changed as shingles. It is true.
I have had chicken pox when I was a child.

Sabine: I didn't realize you had shingles. I've seen commercials and it doesn't look very pleasant. How much longer are you going to have the skin symptoms? You said you're using homeopathic meds. Are they working? I'm sorry you have to go through this. Just a minute while I go get my crayons and a clean sheet of paper. . .

Thank you Yvonne for your nice " get well soon" wish. It is lovely.
I hope that my homeopatic meds will work. It is only 2 weeks ago that I take them for the first time, so I have to be patient and wait.
The skin issues are really bad on my left leg. I wouldn`t upload a pic of these wounds. The pic might scare people.:(

Yep, free. In fact, they have a follow-up “booster” shot that I’ll go back for in 3-6 months.

If you have a Sams Club pharmacy - see if they are offering there...
Mark you are 60 years old ? It was the right decision to take the vaccination. Shingles is often a problem when people get older.

Whooo that's taken a while to catch up.
Hope you are all having a good weekend.
I have my sister's dog, Fudge, with me overnight.
I drove us to a lovely place for a walk, but after leaving the car we had only gone a couple of hundred yards and she was spooked by something and refused to go any further, was shaking and couldn't wait to get back in the car.
I've had this problem with her in the same place before and she seemed to get over it, but today she was scared again.
Makes me wonder what is what she could sense there.
We had a walk closer to home this evening and she was fine.
Poor Fudge. Dogs have an excellent memory. Maybe she remembered that she was once spooken in that same place.

It was my sons, then the grandson and now Delaney’s.
The grandson only comes on Monday so we kicked him out. He can nap in my bed.
We ripped out the carpet last night and putting in a new linoleum that looks like wood planks. You just cut and tap the planks in place like wood.
Here’s one last pic before the final make over. One wall will have stripes. She’s been on Pinterest.

The venyl for the floor looks good. I love wood or something that looks like wood. Please show us the progress of this room. I am sure it will look very nice when it is finished.
