Today starts my third week dealing with shingles. The coughing has eased up, but the itching was a bit worse the past two days. I still am very tired and have almost no energy. Unfortunately that side effect can last for weeks, even months. But I make myself walk around the house once an hour, and go out and walk up and down the driveway a time or two every day. And yesterday, I got more exercise - I did laundry and made 5 trips up and down the basement stairs. I will make a couple more trips down there today to lug the laundry back up.
As I said before, this sure isn't how I envisioned the start of my retirement, but I know it could be a lot worse; for that, I am still thankful.
