Shingles? It just don't sound like a romantic way to die.

It's official - I have the shingles.  I have heard of this mysterious illness for years - but as always I thought I was immune to this unusual sounding malady.  Excuse me, but I thought the "shingles" were purchased at Lowe's.  Maybe I have the sidings.  I am not saying that I am "too good" to have shingles.  It just caught me off guard.  I just don't want them to kill me.  It would be so embarrassing to see in the paper - That after a courageous battle, Grammy passed on to be with the Lord this morning.  She died of the SHINGLES.  Unfortunately, she was NOT surrounded by her loving family - they were SO embarrassed by her demise.  I was really hoping to succumb to something that sounded a little more romantic.  For instance.  Grammy passed away to heaven this morning.  She was an awesome mother and grandmother.  Pop Pop caught her in bed with Johnny Depp - they were both dressed as Pirates of the Caribbean.  That was the end of our beloved Grammy.

PS  Going back to bed to rest and take steroids.  Honestly I have never felt more like crap.
