So sorry to hear about all the cases of shingles. I know the pain is horrendous from other friends. I hope and pray you all get over the pain and discomfort as soon as humanly possible.
May I selfishly ask if there are any tips on how to avoid shingles? I remember my mom and her best friend each came down with shingles about 5 days apart from one another. My mom was about 85, it attacked her on one side and left her one eye very droopy and uncomfortable until she passed away at 93. She also had the privilege of alzheimers.
Heaven help us. Hey, by the way, I just rented An American in Paris with Gene Kelly, have seen 30 minutes and it is darling. Gene Kelly's dancing is marvelous as you probably already know.
Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, Catherine
