O'Bamacare's got you covered.
When you recover from this, go get that colonoscpy that's overdue.

--------------------------

Right now I'd trade a colonoscopy a week for the next two months for this.

Just noticed something that's almost funny. The doc said that because
the shingles virus follows nerve paths, you will only get it on one
side of your body at a time.

It's only my left eye and left side of my face that are affected, but I
have a bunch of blisters on the top of my scalp (under my remaining,
thinning hair).

I just ran my fingers over them and realized that they all start from
the centerline and go leftward. The right side is fine. Weird.



Poor woman across the street got it and it lasted for weeks. After a
week or so she was so bad they put her on Oxycontin and it didn't work
so after another week or so she just quit cold turkey, almost killed her
the withdrawls... She thought she was having a heart attack and went off
in the Ambulance... Be careful. Don't live in misery.. That's just dumb
in this day and age but talk to your doctor a lot about the pain control
meds, especially if you are bad enough to need dope.... Know what to
expect, and more importantly, have an exit strategy worked out well in
advance with him... or her....
