I've come down with shingles. I was this close ---> <--- to finishing the last of my Manchuria scenery. But I've felt yucky, and am a little impaired from the painkillers. Probably cut my finger off and not notice. So I've just been flopping around not doing anything productive.
Hooefully I do something tomorrow.

When I had the massive poison ivy mess this year, several folks said it looked like shingles, which is why I went ahead and saw the doctor. All the best sir.

I had a freind who got shingles just after he beat bone cancer. His symptoms scared the crap out of me and my wife and I got vaccinated. Now my wife is recovering from an episode. Apparently, the vaccine doesn't prevent but just reduces the intensity. Judging from her symptoms of "mild" shingles, I hope you'rew not suffering too much and hit the recovered phase quickly. One piece of advice, don't do the "guy thing" and try to avoid the pain killers. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. We're here with you.

Shingles can be super serious. Definitely take good care of yourself and do everything you're supposed to in order to get better!

I feel for you. I came down with shingles oticus this January. Spent a week in hospital, jacked into IVs. As side effects I suffered hearing loss on the left side, vertigo, a damaged sense of balance, and partial facial paralysis. Took me weeks to recover and I still have vertigo from time to time and lost hearing in the higher frequencies. So, do your self a favor and take your pills. Get better soon and all the best!

soaringraven: Wow, that is horrible! I seem to be getting better already... for two days I was completely down, but today I cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash (we had a lot from spring cleaning, including some small furniture.) And I also did... ...papercrafting! Three ox carts (two different styles) and a rickshaw! One motorcycle and two cars to go...

...and today I woke up with the thought, "so this is how I die." I'm sorry I keep complaining to y'all, but you are my only safe spot

I woke up in pretty good shape today... an hour later, I am hurting again. I did some model painting and papercrafting last night, the painting turned out well, the papercrafting not so much. But I am down to just bases for the rest of the Manchukuo stuff! And I just need to highlight a new unit for Dragon Rampant. It will tie in well to Vermin King's Hoard entries for this month... My wife is amazing. She is taking wonderful care of me. Makes sure I take my pills, slipping me her *good* painkillers, keeping me hydrated. I love this woman.

Here is a pic of my painting project for today. It is a unit for my Undead Giant army for Dragon Rampant. And a 28mm WWII Soviet soldier for size comparison. Not bad for a 99 cent bag of Halloween toys
