So I feel like I speak too soon sometimes...
I wrote about my shingles, but the next day the Urgent Care doctor called me to tell me that I didn't have shingles and to continue to use the antibiotic but not the cream. Um, okay? What is it then? They weren't sure but were happy to put me on a steroid - NO THANK YOU! Plus, were they not listening? I am nursing! I went to my primary care doctor on the following Monday (the 9th) and he confirmed that in fact it was shingles and it was good that I finished the treatment. He told me that the way the Urgent Care people tried to test for shingles is not accurate. He said that by poking for fluid only tests if it is contagious and not actually shingles! He said they would have had to do the scrape test. Since it was pretty much gone there wasn't anything he could do, but did recommend some ointments for my insanely dry skin. At least I wasn't contagious which is probably why it didn't spread to other parts of my body or to anyone else.
Also speaking to soon.... my Bubba has been a moster lately when it comes to sleeping! Last night he was up practically every hour or two! Finally at 4 am I gave him teething tablets and he slept on my chest until 6:45 when I realized I was going to be late for work (but was dying for more sleep). This past Thursday was also really bad, but I think we were all in a funk. Corey was extremely sick and I sent him to bed with tons of cold medicine after dinner. We have a good night time routine where he puts Jensen to bed and I either go to bed too or I do homework. Jensen didn't want to go to sleep that night and didn't until 12:45 am! I think it was just because I was putting him to bed and not Corey. Clearly having a routine is a good and a bad thing!
Okay - gotta get busy! Having another 3 day weekend was awesome, but having 4 days to get a lot of work done is.... a little hard!
