If I don’t laugh I’ll cry. I’ve got Shingles. Had to go to emergency GP today, he said it’s severe, up there with the worst he’s seen. Oh well it explains the fatigue and extra pain... excruciating and sleepless nights. I’m so over it all. Have to travel to Melbourne next week, hope I’m well enough to endure the flight there and back. Then Adelaide & Darwin the following week, and same again the week later.

Pam, that does not sound like fun; I hope that you recover from your shingles soon.

Pam; so sorry to learn on top of everything else; Shingles!!!!!!! With Singles; travel would not be good for you or the possibility of contagious. That might help you have a good reason to postpone travels. Think of you often. Like you check in occasionally. Gerry |

Had Colonoscopy & Endoscopy on Monday, polyps removed, follow up in 5yrs, an improvement on the last 3yrs ago. Now have gastritis - explains the constant gnawing feeling. Still get the bowel obstructions but work hard on not ending up in emergency...
Work is draining, I need a break. DB & I are reconciled, it’s been a long trek. In the main, I’m content. My dogs are still missed every day, their passing was the conduit for DB and I to reconnect.

Pam, I think that 5 years is an improvement.
That is good that you and DB are reconciled.

Pam, I'm glad you had the Colonoscopy. I waited too many years to have my first Colonoscopy. That's how my rectal cancer was found. I was sure I didn't need a Colonoscopy until I got so backed up; couldn't have BM so went to emergency where I was admitted. Was talked into doing a Colonoscopy while in hospital. Finally said "okay". Can't recommend enough after 50/60 yrs. old "do it" whether you think you need it or not. Good to learn you and DB are reconciled. Gerry |
