Let us hear from you. ...Sandra, how are you doing? Let us hear from you. I do so hope your shingles are "put back to sleep," so to speak. John has had them so many times, and it can take <b>months</b> to get rid of them, or make them dormant again, I guess would be the proper way to put it. Sandra, I am very concerned that you stopped the antiviral, because even though the medicine only makes the shingles go dormant, it's <b>very necessary that it does.</b> The shingles must go into a dormant state for you to be well again. I hope you are consulting with your doctor about this, if the shingles are still there, and if they ever return. Watch out for them, and if they do return, please go to the doctor <b>immediately -- shingles can kill you.</b> They almost killed John. Okay, I'll stop being your Mommy now, LOL. Please let us know how you are doing.

Florida is beautiful, Andy and I went three years running, I know Roman will love the parks! It's best to wait till the right dog comes along, it's so easy to rush and choose one that's not suitable. You'll get one eventually and I know you'll love it! Sophie is gorgeous, she looks so much like Roman!

I hope you are through the worst of it. I haven't had them but my MIL did & she was so miserable. Bless your heart. I'll be thinking of your & pray you recover quickly. <br /> I cannot believe how big Sophie has gotten. And Roman too. He'll be 5! How the time a flown. Give them a hug from me. They are so sweet. Our granddaughters are growing up so fast too. We will be celebrating the birth of grandtwins around the end of June. A boy & girl it looks like. I won't be convinced until they do another ultra sound. For SURE I know one is a boy, but as for the girl, I'm not convinced yet. She was just 15 wks when they did that ultrasound. She will have another one at her next appt. They will be positive then. We are over the moon at having a grandson, but will be happy with healthy babies. <br /> Tom is going to college now & he & shelby & kenzie are still living here. I know he'd rather be back to work for the Railroad but if that's not going to happen anytime soon he needs to be mapping out something. I owe you a long email. We've all been sick ourselves off and on all winter. Well it's hearly 5:30am and I haven't been to bed. I fell asleep earlier and couldn't go back to sleep. So I have been trying to get around to a few blogs. <br /> I didn't know when you were coming to the States. I so wish it weren't so far from Texas to FL. It's probably close to 2000 miles. Anyway I know you will have a fantastic time & take loads of photos. <br /> Am sorry that you haven't found the right fur to take the place of Jake. But I know what you mean about it having to be the right one. Our jake actually stood up on his back legs so Richard would pick him up & put him in the chair with him last night!! That is the first time since he had his surgery on his ACL that he has stood up on his own. I SO hope that it's a good sign and he's finally getting over it. He's become such a baby & yelps even if someone makes a sudden move around him. <br /> Take good care of yourself. I'll try to get you an email written soon.<br />Luv n hugs from cold West Texas, Barb <br /> We have had two snows of about 5" since the day before Christmas. AND rain AND ice. This January was 3x wetter than normal. THAT is great for this area. I'm loving the cold winter, but Richard has had his share of it. LOL <br />Luv you!!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664491907812846802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814746030987949559.post-31499758620186052612010-02-01T20:33:20.459+00:002010-02-01T20:33:20.459+00:00Hey Sandra, thanks for visiting my blog today.

I take the same medication at a lower dosage. It controls pain through nerve connections in the brain. Whatever your course of action is I hope it does not last long. I think I will ask about the vaccination for shingles in years to come. It is approaching 35 degrees F and I think I will walk Salty and head to shopping in town. Salty will be in his dog house/pen with some rags for warmth until I get back. It is to get very cold this weekend, but we will stay warm with plenty of wood ready to go in the woodburner. I have several more years of wood since the May 8. 2009 storm that caused huge loss of trees. Some of the cutting I do is with a handsaw and it is exercise for my left shoulder. My left arm gets numb and I am trying to break down the scar tissue and build new muscle. I am having a little success with the pain, but I definitely feel more muscle. I have not made any new posts in my blog. I enjoyed reading about Sophie and Roman. mark/saltymtrib2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08580889156162660056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814746030987949559.post-37203533927671106612010-01-25T15:30:50.266+00:002010-01-25T15:30:50.266+00:00Hi Sandra, Sorry about the shingles.

Sophie has grown so much that it's really difficult to recognize her from the first baby pictures. Hope you will get a nice new dog soon. We would like to get one too but we keep on postponing as we think we are not ready yet. Too much to do already! Wish you all the best. Ciao.

So as long as you stay abreast of the weather forecasts all will be fine in case you need to evacuate. I say that only b/c it seems the tourists seem to be the ones caught in danger unknowingly. In FL you have to evacuate sooner versus later b/c the people are so numerous it is hard to evacuate everyone at once. Listen to me, probably scaring you to death!!! You know me by now that I embrace my own fears wholeheartedly! So just ignore me and watch the weather daily while down there ha!!!!!<br />I'm enjoying reading blogs tonight. I've given up facebook for the evening and it has been quite nice. Oh..shingles. I've not had them but know someone with them currently that started on their right side on their head and forehead. Itching and misery and pain. Takes a couple of weeks or longer to rid of them. I am sorry you have to endure this. I guess most of us have the virus in us and it comes out again in some as adults (chicken pox virus). I've written a book as if this is my own blog page. <br />lol Good to hear from you and visit you.Bookncoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001787449791564669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814746030987949559.post-90878619584945610752010-01-21T03:28:11.915+00:002010-01-21T03:28:11.915+00:00OMgoodness, you poor thang!...I hope you are doing...OMgoodness, you poor thang!...I hope you are doing well, shingles is no fun at all!!!<br />The g'baby pics are adorable!!!<br />good luck on the pet...You'll find a match!<br />take care<br />xoxoxoxoCindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279542410975333815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814746030987949559.post-20701496610730410642010-01-20T23:22:34.989+00:002010-01-20T23:22:34.989+00:00sorry to hear about shingles.very nasty.you tc,lov...sorry to hear about shingles.very nasty.you tc,love mort xmortonlakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248807578958314195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814746030987949559.post-2383160710602996252010-01-20T22:28:08.291+00:002010-01-20T22:28:08.291+00:00sorry to hear you had a rough start to the yr, hop...sorry to hear you had a rough start to the yr, hope you feel better for the remainder of 2010.<br />the vacation sounds wonderful, but it's awhile off yet. plenty of time to get ready for it.<br />loved the pics of the kiddos.<br />you're right, wait for the 'right one', i was waiting, when dazzle happened into my life. she's so special! i can't imagine being without her now, even monkee is starting to like her. ;)<br />hope you post again soon, i try to update wkly.<br />huggies...Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806288766205925660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814746030987949559.post-71076034540052105372010-01-20T21:55:24.928+00:002010-01-20T21:55:24.928+00:00Oh you poor thing.

You would think their roles would be reversed being of different sex of children. I hope you and your family enjoy your fall stay in Florida. I also hope that you soon find a dog that will fit into your family. I know how much you miss a beloved pet after they are gone. I hope those shingles get gone soon. My son has them under the skin but they have never surfaced. He says they hurt and sting a lot. They are on his upper body.
