Another week ruined by shingles

Keek! Ruin!

I reported last week that several days were flushed down the johnnypooper by an unspecified illness. Now I know that I've been suffering from shingles.

I started feeling sick to my stomach a couple days after I posted that, and I began experiencing a rash on the right side of my abdomen that burned like it was going out of style. Also, the high fever returned briefly. 'Twas shingles and a force to be reckoned with!

For the record, this will extend my illness log entry by a week.

Bet yer excited about that, huh?
