Default DH has shingles!
Not funny! He limped all weekend, and cried about how even the fabric from his pants made him hurt on his leg. I look, and he had a rash on the lower leg. I said it looked like shingles, but I had never seen it on a leg before. Packed him off to the MD while I did my colonoscopy prep.

Yep! its shingles! me pooping all day, and him whining about not feeling good made for an interesting day. Poor thing.

Prayers for him please.

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.

My event is over. I had 3 polyps, but then...they always find polyps, and they never turn out to be anything. No real big deal that he could tell from the inside, all looked pretty good. He took several biopsies for celiac, and will know the results in a few weeks.

Finally talked the DH into taking some pain meds. Either he was gonna take um, or I was! Sheesh, he needs a nap.

Thanks all

Did the MD give your DH the antiviral drug for shingles? Hope so...
Hope you feel more human today, and that your ordeal is over. I so HATE colonoscopies...

I'm glad your scope went well Dej . I'm so sorry about your hubby's shingles . My mom had them and she said it was excrutiating. My mom never complained about pain so I can't imagine how bad it must be. Give him a and another pain pill .
