Ruined his birthday (again)

So, in time honoured tradition I have fallen ill on His Lordship's birthday. I started to get a rash and my skin was incredibly sore, I thought it might be some sort of allergic reaction so dismissed it. Anyway, after two sleepless nights and severe pain in my left side we went to the Urgent Care Centre in the middle of the night and the doctor says I have Shingles! I've no recollection of ever having had chicken pox though, so we were a bit mistified as to how I could have got it. Anyway, the doctor says I must have had it and just not displayed the symptoms. Apart from the pain I feel absolutely fine, a little bit full of a cold maybe, but I'm now on some proper donkey tablets and co-codamol for the pain.

We were supposed to have a party for his birthday and it looks like that's off now.

Next year, go to the hospital or doctors a few days before just to be prepared.
