Time to Get back to Blogging

So much has happened since my last blog!  Both hubby and I had milestone birthdays...so now I'm really feeling old.  I had a really nice birthday EXCEPT....hubby got a "charlie horse" in his calf muscle the morning of my birthday and it just wouldn't go away, in fact it travelled up into the thigh muscle.  Then he had 3 days of fever and chills (which we thought was lack of sleep and dehydration...especially when I made him a couple cups of hot water and honey and the chills stopped).  Got him into our doctor...our doctor is so special...you can phone him and actually get in to see him that day!  The Dr. thought it was muscular BUT...it could be a blood clot so if the leg swells up...get him to emergency...in the meantime take these heavy duty muscle relaxants.  A few hours later a rash appears on his leg where he'd been rubbing A535 and/or Aspercreme...reaction???  sounds logical!  Leg definately not getting better so it's off to emergency where after 3 hours he was told he has shingles and he could get some anti-viral meds but they may not do any good since it's been over 3 days since the rash appeared.  The pain will probably last another month but could last a couple of years or longer...that's not good news!!!!  We got the meds anyway, he took them and now he's SLOWLY starting to get better...at least now he can stand, sit or lie down for more than 5 minutes at a time!!

Yesterday we went out for the day and stopped at the casino which has the $2 buffet.  It was so nice to get out of the house, but today he's really tired and sore.  I am so looking forward to the time when he will be well enough for us to hook up the trailer and take off...everyone else we know is off travelling and we're stuck at home!
