Morning all another fine day ahead with 31c expected, the daughter bought the grandson for a visit yesterday and he gave us a hand to clean out the van. (Read empty the biscuit packet.) will organise the auto elec today and start on looking a transmission cooling system as well.

Visited my chiro and she done wonders for the neck so another visit Friday for a tune up.

Ron it is not bad here and even getting use to South Australians strange as that seems.

Have a great day @nd stay safe folks cheers Robert

Good morning all. It's nearly tomorrow now. Phone wouldn't play this morn. Been clearing up a little paddock. Going to have a crack at shifting an avocado tree now. Then I'm going to park up and watch the races. Hope you are having a top day everybody.

Have had a rather "interesting" last few days. Felt a lump in m head Thursday night and thought it might have been a tick. Have had strange painful bits all over the right side of my head, neck and the right eye. Margaret checked it out and said it looked like I'd cut myself, then later took a photo and a lump could clearly be seen.
Next morning, definite red welts were apparent just on the hairline and the eyebrow on the right side. Off to he doctor and he confirmed it was shingles, gave me anti viral meds and booked me into my eye specialist Monday morning.
Saturday morning, right eye swollen and red, closed up, definite welts all around .... rang my eye specialist and he said to head for RAH emergency dept. Ended up in an isolation room and admitted for 24hrs. 4 bags of drugs pumped int the system, checked every 2 hrs, they really looked after me. It must have been a pain in the butt to go through all the gowning up, mask and gloves in the "air-lock" room each time, but it didn't seem to alter the great attention I received

Out Sunday afternoon, still exhausted, even though I'd slept for most of the time. Off to bed as soon as we reached home and slept till Monday morning when Margaret woke me to get showered and dressed for the eye specialist. Mixed news, it wasn't in my eye itself .... yet .... nothing that can be done to stop it ..... hopefully it will run down my nose and make that all scaly and that will mean it won't attack the eye. Then the cheery part .... it will get worst before it gets better .... bargain ....

So now I'm to stay well clear of everyone till a week after all the symptoms go away, Margaret is ok to mingle with the public, as long as she does not start to show any symptoms.
I still have to do the capacity test and recharge part of Chris & Val's (chrisval on caravanners) battery service (installed in 2016) so Val can come and reinstall the batteries under Margaret's watchful eyes.

If I'd known getting an old age pension meant all this stuff came with it, I might have decided against it

Hi T1. So sorry to hear of your latest problems. Was just thinking where you were as you had not been on here for a little while. You certainly lead a very eventful life. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery. Cheers John and Faye

[BernieQ2]

Sorry to hear Terry...I know what you are going through. It's been 12 months since I got shingles, right side of my head and into the eye... bugga...I still have it... double bugga... One doctor said I may have it for the rest of my life because of my age... Told him to F off as like you not considering dying at least in this century , now have Cornea problem from the shingles. And cataract developing in my left eye.
Bernie.

Likewise T1,
Had the curse while on chemo. Nasty.
Just t’other day I had a jab to protect me from ever having shingles again. Didn’t know it existed until chatting with a friend who had the jab.
Have to wait 7days before having a Covid booster shot. Next week…

Morning all.

Geez Terry, that's a bit of trouble. Hope it all goes ok.

I'm in a bit of trouble too. Apparently, the white scissors which are great for big toe nails are to trim ladies eye brows.
