Shingles -part deux

Greets All,

After a debate with herself, Gail went to work today & by the day's end was just feeling  horrible. She came home & went to bed for a bit. Her shingles themselves have not spread more nor have they procced any open wounds, but she has a lot of muscle pain due to the shingle virus. I thought we caught it early enough, but probably not. Hopefully, her antibiotic will kick in fast!

We got her medical alert bracelet in the mail today. FAST delivery & it is exactly what we ordered. www.stickyj.com is a good company. Cayleigh has the spare bracelet without the engraved info on right now. Too cute.



We chatted yesterday about what & when we'll Cayleigh about our Dana Farber trip. We figure after our last cheer competition, which still gives her a solid week or so before-hand to understand that Mommy's blood is bothering her and we're going on a lil' trip to figure out what to do.

After canceling plans we made with Penny, Charee-Charèè & Samara, I ended up running out with Cayleigh while Gail slept to pick up Chinese for dins at our no MSG favorite place. Gail ate, took her meds & is in bed for the night. I think I'm almost as tired, though I wish I could deal with her pain for her. Hate not being able to do more for her.

I'm looking to make her a t-shirt. Our gym's owner & good friend, Mindi, told Gail that "she's a VIPER. She can handle it." So, I got permission to use the VIPER logo from the gym & am trying to find a company that'll make 1 shirt for under $25. Wish the new printers worked like the old ones. I used to make t-shirts all the time with ink-jet iron-on transparency paper. The new stuff doesn't work. :| Any1 know anybody that would make 1 with a logo & 1 line of text on a decent white t-shirt without charging me more than dinner for 3?

Anyhow -just remembered that tomorrow is my 42nd b-date. Am glad to be here, but just doesn't seem like a focus for me this year.

Thanks for all your prayers & support all. It's REALLY appreciated!

  2. Happy Birthday Mike! Get a cake and balloons and let Cayleigh make a big deal out of it for you -- kids love celebrating birthdays!

    Hope Gail beats the singles soon -- those are no fun... she needs lots of rest so she can tackle the MF.

    hugs to you all!
