Good morning and happy Wednesday! I am doing a lot better today, still a bit achy but not like yesterday. My arms still hurt like the dickens but not as much. I had to sleep on my back, which I never do but it worked. I still need my second Shingles shot and a pneumonia shot. The perks of getting older. Good luck to you, OG.
