What a bummer! Developed shingles last night on the right side back of my neck and right shoulder I didn't know what it was 'til I went to my family doctor this AM. Called my OS to let them know; and because as long as blisters are forming and are not dried up I am contagious, no sugery at this time.
Even if I'm good to go in a couple of weeks, it may be a month or more before I can be scheduled again. I am so disappointed. I was really looking forward to getting this show on the road.
I understand that stress is the main cause of shingles. Didn't realize I was stressed--if I was it was more over worrying about my husband and how he would make out for the 10 days I'd be gone than about the surgery.
Well, no use crying over spilt milk. I'll just use the additional time to keep building up the leg muscles so recovery will be easier when I finally can have the BTKR. Thanks for letting me vent!
