July 17th


11am: Shingles!I was right, the reactivation of the dormant chickenpox virus...strange, supposed to be a disease in the elderly but the doctor said stress, fatigue or just generally being run down can cause it to resurface. I had the symptoms looking back, especially the intense pain in my back & legs. Luckily I acted quickly & they gave me anti-virals drugs today which should help diminish the effects & duration of the illness. It is not contagious thankfully. We popped out in the morning to the local Kelowna Farmers Market _ i need to eat lots of fruit, Vitamin C is a major nutrient in combating the disease. Charlie liked the fruit at the market, here, as per usual he is wearing some of it. Another boiling hot day, evident in his flushed, sweaty complexion.
