RN, my black kitty, Critter has been incredibly clingy the last few days and today she's been glued to my lap .. makes me crazy, but also concerned that something might be wrong. So.. she gets to sit where she wants for the most part. I do adore her.

RN Seamonky, I am thinking that Critter may be worried about you and is trying to do something about it. Cats are very intuitive.

RN, I feel so bad for you, Granny! I would rub them if I could....no scratching because it can cause infection. Here's hoping they disappear soon! RN, my sinus infection is annoying me. I don't feel like doing the things I need to do! On top of that, my medicine isn't even fun. Lol!

RN, Mocha has a great idea! I'm going out to pick up my nephew from Confirmation class, so maybe we'll just have to go somewhere to eat! Can you use Benadryl Granny? I actually thought that shingles were painful, not itchy! Either way, they suck, huh? I hope they go away quickly.

RN, IHOP sounds soooooooooo good. I love to eat out for breakfast. RN, Yep, they are painful but they also itch and I'm taking Benadryl and Voltrex and rubbing Cortaid on them. But none of the above seems to be helping. Some of the patches are in a place where you can't reach. Too high to reach from the lower end and to low to reach from the upper end. lol Just my luck. Mocha suggested Aveeno so I'm off to the store to buy some to go in a bath. Used that when the kids had chicken pox. Don't know why I didn't thing of that yesterday at the drugstore.

RN, sorry about the shingles, Granny RN, Dogdoc, I'm thinking it is because of my two nights in Seattle and then two nights in LA that Critter is being this clingy. She will not be happy about the longer time away for Thanksgiving! And weather is cooling off, too. She's back up here now. She'll be 18 in the spring.

RN, granny, put some oats in a knee hi stocking and run a tub full of water with the water running thru the oat filled stocking. Then take a nice soak. That got us through chicken pox here ...

RN, i got up at 3:00 a.m. to pouring rain. by 5:00 a.m. it had started snowing. we only got about 2 inches but it was enough to have the kids (caitlin and her boy friend, not boyfriend) back out of their hiking date and go into redding to a movie instead. yep, my old boyfriend from highschool's son is now my dd's best buddy. he and my friend came to dinner last sunday where dd surprised the son with a birthday cake. on his real birthday, wednesday, she took him to pizza in the village. after they ate, his friends asked the boy to play guitar in the bar. all night (he told me later) people kept coming up to him to tell him how beautiful my dd was. what's funny is that a lot of people thought they knew her already and that her name was julie. when i was in high school my friend called me julie for an old joke. dd and the boy just laughed. last night the boy came over for homemade soup and bread. he kept looking at the clock (he takes care of my friend and was probably a little worried about his dad). finally i said, "do you have a hot date or something once you leave here?" and he looked at my dd and said, "no, that's tomorrow!" i know they really like each other, but neither has ever had a real bf or gf, so they are trying things as friends. my job is getting slowly, oh so slowly, better. i am drawing up syringes now, but still leaving the poking to the others. yesterday the doc i work with tried to get me to give the pain shot to a co-worker, but i told him i liked her too much to have her be my first shot! i have been there a month now and i think in another month i may have it all down. the workload is amazing with only 3 medical assistants and 3 providers. i am getting used to imputting everything into my tiny hand-held laptop, but the children's vaccine programs and all the ordering is really tough. i have to do inventory and ordering for our pharmacy, nurses station and refrigerated meds, the supply room, and our lab...i also have to run all the controls for our hemoglobin, protime and glucose monitors and do all the protime finger sticks for coumadin patients. i also do all the lab urinalysis and pregnancy tests. this is in addition to running a provider (doctor or nurse practioner) almost full days, which leaves me almost no time to request prescription refills or get to my voicemail...where i always have a dozen people calling for methadone or oxycontin refills... it really is a ton of work and responsibility, but at last i feel i am catching on. i haven't cried for a week

Grannyg, did your doc prescribe you an antiviral pill or cream to help reduce your symptoms? Regardless, an anti-inflammatory would be helpful, like motrin or aleve, at the highest allowed dose, around the clock (unless you have a history of stomach probelms). It will also help with the discomfort. I took 800 mg of motrin 4 times a day for my shingles and it helped a lot. Hope you feel better soon.
