Between my mom's hospitalization and my shingles outbreak, this has been a heck of a couple of days, my peeps. Definitely looking forward to the weekend.
@badkoukla This is my 3rd round of it but the other 2 times it was on my torso and wasn't that bad. This time is on my head and half my scalp feels like it's on fire, but at least I got treatment for it quickly.
Thankfully, my mom went home about an hour ago. She was in a packed ICU for 3 days because they had no room on the floor.
@CarrieLikesCoffee I hope you both feel better soon!
Hope you can be a vegetable for the next few days. 🫂
@see_the_sus Mostly. I have a ton of house stuff to deal with but I can take my time with it.
I feel like we all could use a nice relaxing vaycay after the past few years though Lol
I wouldn’t mind one where I didn’t have to talk to my family or hear about them. I’d be happy just for that break.
@see_the_sus I hear ya. It would be awesome just to disconnect from certain people for a bit.
@CarrieLikesCoffee Speedy recovery & much rest 💛
Wondering if the stress of mom’s hospitalization caused the shingles outbreak. Please get Shingrix vax as soon as you can.
Take care of you this weekend.
@LnzyHou Oh yes for sure. My life stress baseline is usually pretty high so it doesn't take much to throw it over the edge. I'm scheduled to see my family doc Monday just for a routine follow up and will bring up Shingrix because you're the second person to mention it. Never occurred to me to get it because I'm not quite 50 yet.
I shall chill chillaciously this weekend!
@CarrieLikesCoffee That’s a rough week. I hope the weekend brings healing to both you and your mom.
@CarrieLikesCoffee I hope you both feel better soon and your mom comes home soon. But take care of yourself because shingles is no joke.
