It's shingles

Well it is for sure.  Dad has shingles.  They put him on an antiviral medicine.  You have to take it  72 hours after the rash or it doesn't help.  We got it in plenty of time.  He is pretty miserable.  He was doing good today but this evening not so much.  I think the trip to the doctor wore him out.  I took the day off and just rested also.  It felt so nice to just sleep in.  Not much else going on with us.  I think we will just see how he feels and play it by ear.  I did go buy him some turtle necks so all the rash is covered.  It is low on his left neck and upper chest and then on his shoulder.  It doesn't look as bad as a lot of the pictures on the internet so that is good.  Rachel, I am glad the ultrasound was good.  I am getting so excited.  Robin, I hope you are surviving working all the time.  LOVE MOM
