Prayers and hugs for you both. I feel for your dh, not that I ever had shingles. My mom did tho, and it seemed to be pretty rotten. She is NOT one to let on, so if you even see her slow down, you know it's pretty uncomfortable.
Tough cookie, that one.
I know she wore differnt clothes when it was bad - stayed in a nightgown a lot when at home. That is SO not mom.
