Shingles

So, I have had a rash for a little over a week. I finally went to the hospital to get it checked out. They said it was Shingles. There is nothing they can do for it and It is not contageous. I just have to put up with it for the next three or so weeks. I also don't have any time off. I have to work 12 days straight until I get a day off, and they are long days, but at least I will be able to pay my bills. I am hoping to save lots for Alberta this year. Tori is driving out with me, and Bobbie-Jo (her friend) wants to come. We are making the drive in four days, and Tori wants to spend a whole day at the mall in Edmonton.

That sucks. Didn't you have chicken pox when you were a kid?

Yes she did - when she was 4 or 5. But the chicken pox/shingles virus lays dormant in your body until you are ill or stressed or .... It can recur at any time.
