Oh dear. The next door neighbor is apparently rediscovering his love of the guitar via random riffs of bad 80's metal bands. Help me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've resisted googling for images of shingles until now.
I've got shingles.
And I may be able to infect the kids with chickenpox.

Oh Cash, I'm so sorry. Definitely get thee into the urgent care tonight to get the anti-viral, ok? We worry about you.

Cash - have they not had the vaccine? Our pediatrician pushed it pretty hard here. K-Bug got it naturally while CJ had the vaccine.
I'm sorry about the shingles. Both DH and my father have had them and ouchie to the extreme.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I called my doc this afternoon to call in the script but nothing happened. I assume they left for the weekend before they got around to it. I'm just going to try to keep my hands off the rash (the blisters are where the virus lives) and wash my hands as much as possible.
As much as I hate to say it, I've got a $75 urgent care co-pay and I hate to spend that for something when I already know what it is. I'm just pissed my doctor didn't give me the script for the anti-virals, just in case, rather than waiting for Monday.
She knows I've got two kids under three that haven't had chickenpox yet.

Thank you! I'd forgotten. I know Owen has had it (even though it's not 100% proof against getting it). I can't remember if Liv's had it yet. I'm going to go check her vaccination record to see.

Cash, if it's just the money, we'll take care of you. Getting the anti-virals fast is really important in terms of how long and how severe this infection is going to be, and we wuv you.

What is even happening?
Cashmere, Owen was probably immunized at 18 months. Your kids are a good age to catch chicken pox, if they do catch it, and they're perfectly healthy, strong babies. It's okay.
Please don't fret about them. Chicken Pox can be harmful to people with compromised immune systems, and in some daycare centers, kids were getting that flesh eating strep in their Chicken Pox sores -- that's because their parents were sending them back before they were healed over. If your kids get it, they will be fine, and they will be more immune to Chicken Pox than if they were immunized.
I want you to get that anti-viral before Monday, though. Is there any chance of that?
It's really, really important to get it right away, to minimize the effects of the Shingles.
