Meds I am taking are working wonders. About 90 percent recovered.
Apparently the aggressive dosage approach taken by the MD and same
with drops from the eye doc have been very effective. Swelling is
almost gone and blisters have all turned to scabs.

I'll be glad when this is totally over with. From what I understand
the chances of a future recurrence is lessened significantly once you
have had it once.

Only disappointment: No Victoria's Secrets hallucinations.

Well, that's good news. I could have used your help, though, with the
blonde bra model.

Was it steroids they gave you? Glad you're feeling better. I've seen it
in action, shingles ain't pretty!

Great! And, by taking the dashes out of my sig line, your post gets quoted. And, I came through my
hernia op with flying colors, and my balls aren't blue - yet.

But, it sure hurts like hell to get up and down.

You didn't mention the eyes, which was my worry. I'm assuming they're oK? Hope so.

I am trying the latest Thunderbird for a newsreader which also should
have fixed whatever Windows Live Mail was screwing up.

Good to get the hernia stuff done and out of the way. Blue balls?
Haven't heard that expression in years.

Eye is fine. Mild postherpetic neuralgia but nothing like the ice pick
feeling of last week. It may last for a week, a month, sometimes more
but there's nothing really wrong. It's a pain "memory".
Glad it's over with.

Just take it easy. I really only had one bad day but I might have been
better to take a week off.
I was at a Zac Brown concert the second evening.

Yeah, I may even pay someone to mow the grass, which will kill my cheap soul.

We're going to a Bluegrass concert at Rockahock campground north of Williamsburg on Thursday. I'm
hoping sitting in the truck won't hurt too bad. I may spend more time reading than walking to the
venue to listen to the music. We'll see. I'm definitely planning on golf next week. Gotta get some
exercise, and I've not walked a golf course in three weeks or so.

It seems YOU have also become a pustule-ridden scabby asshole.

It looks good on you, ****.
