Some more to deal with

Well, you never know what is headed your way next.  After spending a bit of a rough night Sunday-Monday I showed Phyllis what I thought were bed bug bites.  She promptly said it was shingles.  So we went to the doctor's office and the P.A. assigned us that day confirmed it.  Said since we had come in within 48 hours of it breaking out she thought the medicine that she prescribed would lessen the time it would affect me.  According to the internet Med sites I looked at, that can be from 3 to 5 weeks.  With the chest and leg still in pain this just adds another spot (on the left from below my belt almost to my armpit and both around in front a bit and around in back a bit.)  One of the side effects of the medication is drowsiness and I was having that already.

Here are some of them.  Don't look bad, but can burn and itch

Nothing too much to write about because not much going on.  Did go to Therapy yesterday and worked out on two machines. 

Phyllis' sister Beth and her husband Steve celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary this year and took all their kids, grand-kids to Hawaii.  Here are some of their photos.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  How Many Christians  Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?

- Charismatic: Only 1 - Hands are already in the air.

- Pentecostal: 10 - One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

- Presbyterians: None - Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

- Roman Catholic: None - Candles only. (Of guaranteed origin of course.)

- Baptists: At least 15 - One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

- Episcopalians: 3 - One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

- Mormons: 5 - One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

- Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

- Methodists: Undetermined - Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass. 

- Nazarene: 6 - One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

- Lutherans: None - Lutherans don't believe in change.

- Amish: What’s a light bulb?

My neighbor rang my doorbell at 3 am... can you believe it!?  Luckily I was still up playing my drums.
