The morning after the night before

The ubiquitous empty bottle of beer outside my mum's home on New Years day. Evidence of the previous nights festivities.

Viva la shingles

Usually by now I've posted a shed load of images of Nelsonica, Harrogate and Knaresborough (a yank friend told me to visit). But you know how it is? I spent ages processing my images, posted 'em to Flickr etc, then the brown stuff hit the fan....ruddy shingles. Anyroad, I'm still very sore, but back at work thank whoever.

Anyway, here's a flickr slide show of my Knaresborough images, an amazing place, 9 minutes by train, up the track from Harrogate.

Oh joy, I have shingles

Now doesn't that take the biscuit, my life is ruddy complete? What I thought was a muscular strain in my right arm, albeit painful, that started about a week ago and lasted through my Nelsonic weekend is a nasty case of shingles. I'm on a LOT of antiviral meds, 5 x 800mg a day. Hopefully this'll prevent the spread of this virus, take care of the awful rash that suddenly appeared yesterday, before the side effects of the meds kill me.

I actually think I'm lucky, shingles can be nasty, especially if blisters appear near, or in eyes. At the moment, only my right arm is affected, and hopefully I caught it within the important first 72 hours. Unfortunately, due to the blisters, I'm now contagious and a danger to anyone who hasn't had the chickenpox (not nice to get the pox when you're an adult). I took some snaps of my blisters, but decided not to post them here as they ain't perty. I'll keep ya posted.
