This weekend has been fun and terrible all at once. I will start with the fun. Hubby and I got to go to a comedy show on Saturday night. I got him tickets for his birthday. He LOVED it. I knew he would. It was fun to go do something different. It wasn't dinner and a movie. It was fun. We laughed really hard. Nice to stay out past 8 PM too. We are so old. haha
Saturday started off though, with me in an urgent care. I have had a rash for several days and it was getting worse and worse and more and more painful. I showed it to Erin and she said.. I am pretty sure that is shingles.. So I went to the UC to get it looked at and sure enough, it is shingles. NO FUN. I have not felt good AT ALL this weekend. I have felt run down and worn out. Last night my pain was so bad I had to take pain meds. The dr. at the UC said that some people with shingles don't get the rash they just come in with pain. I said I am glad I wasn't one of those people or I wouldn't have come in. I don't go to the doc for pain. Ever. It would be pointless. I did find it amusing yesterday morning since my dr. goes to my church.. when I told him that I have shingles and he says.. "who says?" haha obviously he wasn't happy with being side stepped. Although, I know he is happy that I went and got help. Now I just hope I didn't do something before I knew what it was that will spread it or make it last longer... like, using the same towel on my whole body.. or, scratching there then somewhere else.. those kinds of things. I know that I didn't pass it to anyone else.. I just hope that I don't get it again.
Yesterdays sermon was on "children obey your parents". It was very nice and timely because we have 40 people coming this weekend and my kids were happy and ready to help with cleaning. They are always happy to help, but I think the teaching helped. :) My hubby sent me to bed when we got home from church and he and the boys went to town. They got walls washed and baseboards washed and the tent cleaned out and new door knobs put on 3 doors..Then hubby did the dishes last night. Now all that is left is dusting and cleaning the windows. I have the worlds greatest family.
Thank you God for this weekend. Thank you for the rest that I needed. Thank you for my guys that are willing to hlep me and do things for me. Thank you for a nice clean house. Thank you that I am feeling a little better this morning. Thank you for the beginning of a new week. Thank you for a fun weekend with my hubby.
well, you and Allison can commiserate about your shingles...they have medicine you can take to make the breakout shorter (Acyclovir). Also it is contagious so may want to be careful around the little ones..
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon!
Love, aunt Debi
Oh Tania! I hope this doesn't last long for you. I'll be praying. I saw Alana Rivera at church a couple of weeks ago, and she told me she had shingles back in Feb. I thought only old people got shingles!!
