Yay - I have a couple days off work!!! Get to sleep in, wear sweatpants all day, it's pretty sweet. Why, do you ask? Because...
Nay - the shingles are still here, and progressing slowly at that. I go to have them looked at on Wednesday morning to see if I can work, but a doctor at work that's been monitoring them thinks I'll be off all week. You see, they're still in the 'contagious' stage and since we see lots of children and pregnant women, the clinic just doesn't want to risk me giving someone chicken pox. So I've got xylocaine ointment now for both the pain (which has been at an all-time high) and the itching (not too bad anymore and I guess it helps that it hurts when I itch so I just don't do it). Just numbs the area. I must say, it works, and feels tingly in the process!
