Good plan, Vonnie! Excellent choice of distraction.

So those cluster of flea bites I had yesterday...are Shingles. Thanks to my pharmacist for IDing it, it was caught early and I have a Rx for antivirals.

Oh my, Sue! I hope the drugs do the trick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad you got the right kind of treatment, Sue! Sorry it's shingles, though.
And wtf is this world, even. In addition to everything else, I feel bad that I'm mad that these shooters somehow are taken alive when so many black people are killed by police for doing nothing wrong.

I found out that a professional friend of 30 years+ has in-laws that go to that Temple, but because of illness they didn't attend today. Good lord. She'll probably have met several of the deceased at services, easily. (I can't help it, but being able to put a personal connection into it makes it seem more "real" and more awful.)

Sue! Thank goodness for pharmacists who know their stuff. If you get the anti-virals early enough, you escape most of the bad consequences of shingles, so yay for prompt diagnosis.

That's so good to catch early but dang, what a pain to have shingles!
Vonnie glad you checked in. I am so over this timeline.
I ended up having a good day, I noticed the weather was better today than tomorrow and my friend and I switched our plans to today, went to Snoqualmie Falls and to see the salmon swimming upstream, and lunch. Yay

Right, Jesse? It's a whole lot of different flavors of fucked up.
Glad to hear that, meara!

I would swear up and down that I've never had chicken pox, so I would have never even considered Shingles. I was seriously worried that I had bed bugs rather than flea bites because the "bites" were so closely clustered. Also, it's on both boobs, so it's crossed the centre line, which is not normal with shingles. But I don't have a huge rash, so I'm hopeful I will kick this easily.
I have Monday off and an appt with my actual doc on Tuesday AM, so I'm doing nothing until then.
