A Possibility
Several days ago, I mentioned the fact that my right arm was less than cooperative. In the days that have followed, there may be the possibility that I have a mild case of the shingles. I have had the shot for shingles but that is not a guarantee that a re-occurrence of the shingles is out of the question. I have read about that possibility online in nauseum. Only to small children could I be contagious, if it is shingles. I do not have any blisters nor is the surface of my skin under the right shoulder broken, just the wanting to ease the pain by rubbing it away.
The feelings that come with the shingles discomfort cannot be mistaken. I vividly remember that when it happened. The softest of fabric touching my left shoulder and arm accentuated the feeling that I could have dug out the pain with my right hand. When Orlin had shingles, it was at a time that we were farming with a lot of livestock chores and he wasn’t able to leave the house. I had a bottle with a stopper to seal the weeping blisters. It did remind me of clear nail polish.
I may be off base. I did read enough that there really isn’t anything to be done and in several days the discomfort will diminish. In the mean-time, cool showers, followed my Calamine lotion.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
