Update on Glenn's shingles

Glenn has now been battling shingles for 9 days. After a trip to the ER, ophthalmologist, and our primary care physician, his diagnosis is: since his eye is now blurry...return to ophthalmologist. For the pain...additional vicodin and add in gabapentin, used to control seizures along with nerve pain associated with shingles in adults.

The doctor said the pain could clear up in a week or continue indefinitely. The gabapentin is 300 mg up to 3x per day, with 2 refills. Tomorrow, we will call the eye doctor and get Glenn back in. I guess they really do need more money from me LOL.

Additionally, Glenn took his motorcycle to the job site today since he had to leave early. Someone backed into it and now he needs a new front fender. Fortunately, the lady left a copy of her insurance card and contact info. Poor Glenn.
