So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Varicella-Zoster Virus Posted by Hello

It never rains but it pours

I have not been near my G.P for well over a year, until yesterday. Yesterday morning on top of everything else I had what looked like a burst plook (spot) on my forehead above my eye. This morning my eye had swollen somewhat and thewife insisted that I go back and visit the doctor again. I protest, but agree to humour her. This time I got the doctor I like. He squirts some orange dye into my eye, has a look with a blue light to examine for abrasion and the like. Decides that the eye is okay, but will give me an anti-viral ointment for the eye and some tablets for my suspected Shingles. Shingles by golly. "That's bad isn't it." "Well it can be." He asks me if I feel any pain and to be honest I don't. He seems to think I will have some pain as he tells me to take whatever painkillers are necessary, mmmm. He tells me the virus is related to chicken-pox and can lie dormant for many years. I think in my case it must be like forty. It's not contagious apparently, in that you can't catch shingles from someone with shingles, but if you have a supressed immune system you should steer clear of me.
