    I do hope the pain doesn't last for long, you will have to spoil her until then @rowlandscastle444

    I’ve been thinking about the shingles jab for a couple of years now,  perhaps best to have it now we’re cutting back on covid jabs.

    I asked for the  shingles jab as soon as I was eligible. I’ve seen the damage shingles can do 😨

  • I spoilt her for the first three weeks, but since then, she's insisted in helping out.

    She's done the weekly shopping. Okay, so it's been online, and I get to deal with the delivery. But she gets satisfaction in choosing the items. 

    She is cooking now - I think my cooking was suspect!! Plus, she knows I'm not safe, so it was a challenge to persuade her to let me take over. The pain was the deciding factor.

    Oh @rowlandscastle444, I hope your dear wife feels a lot better soon. 
    My sleep is not of the best, but I tend to stay in bed until I drop off eventually.
    Is the shingles jab for those over seventy?

    I think the age is 65. 

    ETA yes 65 from this year. … it was previously 70.

  • Whether 70 or 65, I'm not eligible yet.
    Not sure whether to see that as a positive or not!!

    I have another three years to wait for the jab, but will get it as soon as I can. I can remember how bad my great aunt was with it, so if I can avoid it I will.

    Thanks @Dovefromabove. I have reached an age (even though still 27!) where my body will become a pin cushion for all these jabs, which, I feel are important to take if available.
    May all folk on here have a good night's sleep tonight, especially those who are on this thread, for one reason or another.
  • Another night, another waking moment. Sigh!!
