SOS Part 2 Shingles Override Soo much

This is one ridiculous illness. Monday through Friday is still a blur of pain. Yesterday back at the eye doc's I was prescribed a steroid that seems to be helping a lot more than anything else so far. This morning I could actually look out of my left eye without wincing. The rash itself is on my scalp, down the left side of my forehead (nicely covered by bangs) over my left ear. The incapacitating pain in my eye has lessened, now I just get these migraine-like flashes that last about 10 seconds and fade away.

I must be getting better because I went out today to shop. I was sure Kohl's was going to send a Get Well card since I had not been there for so long! This morning I had Maya take a picture of me sans makeup. Right now I don't have the nerve to post it. Think I'll leave that to when I can post a before and after pic. (And that will be awhile since almost all of my eye lashes have fallen out on my left eyelids.) Thanks for all your prayers and emails and I apologize if you called and I did not answer. I have been in Shingles Hades looking for the way out.

PS This was a bad way for Pete and I to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary and Cinco de Maya. Tonight he is off DJing a wedding and I will be long asleep by the time he gets home. Tomorrow is a brand new day; we're gonna call for a do-over day.

PPS One more thing. Now I can never have that Major league baseball career I dreamed of since I am a steroid user. Bummer.
