Dang Shingles!

{Feb 6, 2012}

The morning of Grandpa's party I woke up at 4 am and felt this strange rash or something on my back.  It itched and felt really uncomfortable and it kinda grossed me out because I thought for sure spiders were going to town biting me while I was sleeping.  Well I continued on my day and itched them every once in awhile.

The next day {Sunday the 5th} I had to work all day.  I was really annoyed with whatever was on my back.  I had to keep going to the bathroom because I thought it was growing around to the front of my stomach.

Monday morning I got up and they were bugging me even more, but I didn't even have a clue what it could be.  I had to go into work half day, while I was driving over to work I was telling Carson how they were bugging me so much that they were starting to make me physically sick to my stomach!  About 1 hour after getting to work I finally decided I had to ask a nurse what it was. It took her 2 seconds to tell me I had shingles!  I was shocked!!  I thought shingles were for old people and for heaven sakes I was just over 31 1/2.  The good thing was I caught it in a certain window were I could go on antibiotics for it.  The bad thing was I couldn't go back to work until so many days after the scabbed over.

 Finally February 24th I was able to go to work!  They told me it is somewhat unusual to get them at my age, but if I had been under a lot of stress then it could cause it to happen.  Well hello, I just got to planning a huge party!!!  Hopefully they don't plan on coming back anytime soon....
