I have to say that after a terrible ordeal right after Thanksgiving of Shingles down both hips and legs and my spine that left me with terrible post herpatic nueropathy and more nerve damage.
I had become accustomed to dealing with Shingles as my 1st outbreak occurred in November 1997 and from then on recurred each year more frequently. I've spent way to much of the last 6 years with doctors,neuorolgist,pain manangement, and infectious disease specialist all to hear the same thing you have recurring Shingles there is nothing we can do except anti viral meds prophilatically and treat the pain. Thanksgiving night 2010 I fell and that's what caused Shingles but this time it was much worse. I went through such a deep depression from December to beginning of March. Now I'm trying to pick up the pieces again and enjoy the splendor of life.
I've been hitting the trail again with Paige (my friend) and swiiming with her as well. Getting back on the trail was exhilirating and I love it ! I love swimming to but since an accident as a teenager in which I almost drowned in a lake in Tn I had only been swimming a little in the summer with the boys. Something about almost drowning left me traumatized not in water but under water. I think I'm working toward getting through it and hope to eventually be back to the swimmer I was on swim team .
Tyler babysat Zachary for the first time 10 days ago and did a great job and was rewarded nicely for doing so. Zahcary is doing better in school but I'm still bothered that Daniel didn't tell me the school wanted to move Z to 1st grade because I wanted it to happen and he did not.
But all in all I'm once again I'm trying to see the blessing each day offers and remember tomorrow is not a promise!
