Mornin Jeep Peeps! I'm waiting to hear from the home care service on whether or not they have located a temporary replacement for today. Seems our regular care giver has come down with shingles. UGH!

Good morning! I had Shingles this summer-it’s not too bad as long as you don’t mind feeling like you’re being stabbed, blowtorched, and beaten with a bat all at the same time Stress is a helluva thing

My dad must have gotten a really mild case of it cuz he had it and was telling me he didn't understand what all the hubbub was about.

Edit: WOW! he would have been 100 this year! He's been gone 4 years now. :-(

Awwww

Allow me to retell his story that he always told us about her sinking during the Battle of the Coral Sea. I'll have to be honest that I'm not sure just how much of this is "sailor lore" and how much really happened.
So Lady Lex is sinking and the crew is ordered to abandon ship. There are other ships in the fleet near by to assist in recovering the sailors. According to dad, she was not in too bad of shape considering all the strikes she sustained, so he and who knows who else decided that they could go down to the mess hall and snag some ice cream while they waited to leave the ship. Mind you she's on fire and all that kinda good stuff. So, they get the ice cream and then station themselves on the flight deck and just sit there eating ice cream watching all kinds of crazy fools jumping into the ocean. Dad was determined to NOT get wet even tho he did know how to swim. Eventually some smaller ships come along side and there are cargo nets hanging down the side. Dad finally goes down the net and steps onto the deck of the rescue ship. Dry as can be.

Like I said, I have no reason to believe my dad was lying, but it is quite the tale. He never started telling this with the words "now this is no shit", cuz that is a true giveaway that the story you are about to hear is BS. So I have to assume truth.

Yes...stress. Told the doctor that he must be wrong..can’t be Shingles. He said people in their 20s are getting it..stress is a determining factor.

You're barely old enough to get chicken pox though!

If that's the case, I wonder how I avoided it these past few years...

So, now the question is, can it come back or is it a one shot disease? Only get it once?

Don’t ask that question! Never test the universe

It can come back

It can come back

Thanks. I did google it. Looks like it is somewhat rare to come back tho. Like you said tho, don't test the universe.
