Shingles Support Group
Herpes zoster, colloquially known as shingles, is the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, leading to a crop of painful blisters over the area of a dermatome. It occurs very rarely in children and adults, but its incidence is high in the elderly (over 60), as well as in any age group of immunocompromised patients.
Yesterday she "scrubbed" the kitchen floor while I vacuumed the rest of the house.
When we talk she says she doesn't remember much about last summer. Just as well.
We had a good meal after opening presents and we both napped. It has been a good day. Mom has found some things to laugh at lately!!!
One of these days when she can-she is going to the chiro for an adjustment. Some of her muscles are knotted where the nerves are tight. I would like to buy her a massage but have to have her permission or she balks. Maybe I can work on that?? I think it would do her good.
Take care and be well.
