What are you thankful for today??

I'm thankful -
that I was finally able to book a hairdressing appointment for 17 December. I really didn't think I would be able to get an appointment before Christmas.

That I have two healthy children and one healthy granddaughter.

That I have a whole library of books that I have built up over the years and still have good enough eyesight (with glasses) to read my way through them. Just hope I have enough years left to get through them all.

That I'm 3 weeks into an attack of Shingles and pain seems to be easing.

Oh no, shingles is a terrible thing.

My friend in Oz had it, just on a year ago, she developed it, and she is still suffering the affects of it. She has areas around her hips and down one leg, that don't have alot of feeling in them. She was so happy recently, when she realised she could feel the warm shower on that area. She suffers alot of pain still, and can barely move around.

She was one of the very unlucky ones, who got the worst strain of shingles. It has been a long road for her, and she doesn't think that she will ever return to normal now.

Getting the shingles vaccine is the best thing to do, to be sure you don't ever get this terrible thing.
