Shingles

[Hardy]

Her indoors has just come in. She met our doctor down the road and told him about me and my shingles around the eye. His words were, "Jesus Christ! He could go blind!" Bedside manner y'know. "Tell him to come in to me first thing in the morning - might have to hospitalise him." I'm consoling myself that he does tend to be a bit of an alarmist. I can't go to hospital - I have no pyjamas.

Still no sign of the dementia, thankfully. Oh look - a unicorn!

Neighbour had them. They moved down around his stomach area. Anyway to cut a long story short he was never fit to get a hard on again

Meant to say earlier, take care and get well soon. Up Meath.

Just be careful Hardy at your age. There'll be oul lads eyeing up the wife already.

I read this thread last night and again this morning. Both times I got itchy. I'm steering clear from now on.
(Good luck with it Hardy)

Had it when I was around 12yo. I don't recall it being overly painful or even painful at all, just a rash on my back and had to keep well away from my granny as its a lot more serious if an elderly person were to get it.

Nasty thing.  Follow  all doctors directions.  Remember it is Neurological in nature.  I was on a Neuro ward earier this year and there  was one patient who I thought had dementia.  I asked one of the nurses what was wrong with him.  She told me he'd had shingles and it travelled to his brain.

I sound like a Bill Hick's sketch there.

What is the neurological angle?

Bad dose Hardy, hope you recover well and quickly.

I can't go to hospital - I have no pyjamas.

Sort that out Hardy.   I got caught having to go into hospital with appendicitis years back.  In the absence of pyjamas I was given one of them gowns with me hole sticking out the back. 

A trip to Dunnes will spare your modesty in the long run.

[Hardy]

Thanks lads. Just got the all clear from the eye specialist, so no need for the trip to Dunnes.

That's great news Hardy.  Hopefully you didn't see the Irish news today - great pics of Peter Withnell tossing an aging Mick Lyons around Croke Park. Cracking pics.

Good stuff,

I guess that means the obit thread will be deferred for another day, but if we were to write a passing tribute should we not start now and get into the flow while Hardy is (just about) alive seeing as we can't speak ill of the dead?

[Hardy]

I'm sure there are many, come the day, who will say, "If we must speak good of the dead - that Meath b****x is dead. Good."

my ma rang some woman in Armagh and she burnt sticks or something and she woke up the next day completely cured. I'm honestly sceptical about this sort of stuff but my ma swears by it.
