The Dr. there was ugggghh all touchy feely. I'm glad the exam was over in less than 2 minutes.

Anyway, he said it was a little too early to definitely say it was/wasn't shingles. However, I have a prescription that I will start tomorrow afternoon if it is any worse at all and that runs for 7 days. Then I will be able to go back to work after that (ie a week from Monday). It's such a nasty time to take off work...we are so swamped & I will feel so stupid if it ends up being nothing. (If it just goes away by itself & ends up as nothing, then I can go back to the Dr on Monday, and then go back to work)

Anna, they sent me to the ER because the regular doctor's office is closed on the weekends. We have to pay a higher deductible for insurance though. And All Creatures, I didn't get a Spongebob sticker, but they gave me the wristband with my name on it.
