HUBBY AND THE SHINGLES...

My poor hubby is sick. Sick with the SHINGLES. If you have never had the Shingles, you are very very lucky! They Hurt!!!! I know, I've had them....

Before a rash is visible, you will have several days to a week of burning pain and sensitive skin. We thought he had pulled a muscle until I saw the rash. It is very difficult to determine the cause of the often severe pain. Shingles start as small blisters on a red base, with new blisters continuing to form for three to five days. The blisters follow the path of individual nerves that comes out of the spinal cord. Eventually, the blisters pop, and the area starts to ooze. The affected areas will then crust over and heal. The whole process may take three to four weeks from start to finish.

The Dr. has him on meds, five a day and on pain pills. This has been going on for over a week. He is still in a lot of pain and has trouble sleeping. Hope the meds will help and he will be on the road to recovery....

We want to take a minuet to wish Lori, Hubby's daughter in Texas, a big GET WELL. She has been in and out of the hospital the past few weeks. The Dr's. can't seem to find what is wrong.

Just know that we love you Lori and hope you get well soon.....
