have I told you I am tired, and stressed? It is Valtrex.

He had darvocet for pain, but it wasnt cutting it so they gave him vicoden. I also put him on Llysine.

I am so tired. I am just so tired.

DH woke telling me the pain is spreading. He said his leg is a bit better, but now his hip, and rib cage hurt. Said it feels tingly. I have talked him into taking a pain pill, and have him distracted. I gave him his Wii hunting game from the Christmas pile early. I am gonna have to call the MD on monday. His blisters are still there, but now red, and horrible looking. Poor thing. I feel so bad for him. I have cooked, cleaned, and done all his errands, but he is reaching a level of frustration with riding the couch, and not being able to do things.

I did sit him in front of ALL of the Christmas cards that needed to be written this year. Gave him a pile of cards/envelopes, and stamps with my address book. He was impressed with how many people we send greetings to. At least that gave him a job that didnt require him to be on a ladder, or out in the snow, or doing physical labor.

Im so tired!

dej,

i'm so sorry your dh is still dealing with the shingles. as you know it can be a drawn out thing.

i feel so bad for you because it's taking a lot from you too.
please take care of yourself also.

get well wishes to your dh.

How's it going Dej? Are you getting any rest? Take care.

Thanks for asking. I am exhausted! DH has had the pain run from his leg to his ribs. He is grouchy, and snappish. I have thrown him out in the snow several times to clean cars, or decorate a tree in the yard. He has a huge case of cabin fever. Since my housekeeper girl is pregnant, she has to stay away, and since its the holidays, that means I have tripled my work load. I have my work, his work, and now her work to do. He goes to the MD in the AM for a check up.

im tired! I just want to go to sleep. I find that I am forgetful of the silliest things. Like my cat's name. or what recipe I was cooking. I feel like my brain has been turned way down, while my to do list has been turned way up. I hate this disease! I just want my life back.
