This week has been seriously hard.  Ah well, what can I do.  I am seriously tired today but will face it with a smile and try to make the best of a very  hard night.  I slept maybe four hours, I guess that's better than nothing.  My shingle seem to be better, knock on wood.  My joints don't hurt like they have.  It's just the lower right abdominal pain that won't subside.  I did get a new heating pad that can be dry and wet and has an automatic shutoff.  Problem with the shutoff is as soon as it shuts off, I wake up.   But it is much safer that way.  Hope others are feeling better than I am.
