End of the tunnel

I think God has once again been merciful to me. I've heard from many people about how painful and awful shingles can be, but for me, it was more of a nuisance. Literally a “pain in the arse” :) There were about 3 nights when it was difficult to sleep and I had to be careful how I sat, but overall, they were tolerable. Once again, Village Peds proved to be a blessing as being at work seemed to help keep my mind off of it. It didn't spread down my leg and everything seems to be drying up now. I pray that it keeps progressing in that direction! I know that when kids get it, it's not as painful as it is in adults. So I guess that means even though I don't feel like it, I'm closer to pediatric than geriatric! Tuesday I head back to Omaha, hopefully everything will check out ok. I've been having a little bit of shortness of breath and fatigue, so probably won't make it out of Nebraska without a CT. Better safe than sorry. Other than that, the days continue to pass by – ups and downs, but the overall trend is definitely up. I hope everyone enjoys what's left of summer!
