Shingles!!!

Not the roofing kind :/

So Jeff's skin on his stomach area started not feeling well.  He described it as a sunburn without any sunburn.  The pain actually went down his leg.  After a little google hunting and webMD, Jeff was guessing he had shingles.  He didn't have the rash though so it was a bit of a waiting game.  

Then there was the rash!


Once the rash showed up he got into an urgent care and got on some medicine to help the shingles not spread farther.  

The rash continued to grow though.  The doctor said it would go all of the way down to his foot :(



It got darker and more ugly!

It actually didn't hit his foot, but it was still pretty bad.  His leg was just so sore.  It took a few weeks before he was starting to feel normal again.  Jeff has had a lot of stress with having his own office and keeping up with everything.  We think the shingles were stress induced!  Ugh, now to not keep doing this.  Let's just say I don't think the stress will be going away anytime soon, but we sure are glad the shingles didn't stay too long!
