And so I am starting 2021 with Shingles. Yes, yours truly by some mysterious way contracted shingles (actually not very mysterious because I have had Chicken Pox before but that was more than a decade ago) and man does it hurt. Its also a very sucky time for me to be down with Shingles because not only it is contagious (to those who haven’t yet contracted Chicken Pox) but it also limits me severely in my work, which is worrying me slightly at this moment given that I have a tonne of things to do at work.
And the pain, the blistering blisters are no joke. I have had to visit the doctor twice already as the pain has exacerbated in the course of 24 hours. I even find it hard to lift my arm and also having to deal with the tingling sensations across my left arm is really no fun at all.
The bad news (as if this isn’t bad news enough) is that it will take 2-3 weeks for it to heal and that would mean more of me to work from home while dealing with my Project Management responsibilities. God help me…seriously. I just hope with the meds I am consuming that I will be able to overcome this illness sooner and get my feet back on track.
Godspeed!
