My Sicky

I'm pretty sure that if Peter didn't have bad luck, he would have no luck at all!

He has been hit with just about everything in the past week; as in cold shivers, cold sweats, nausea, shakiness, sore throat, exhaustion, and a few other things. The past week has been spent in bed, for the most part. He thought he was getting better until he noticed his eye turning red, which he assumed was pink eye. There was also a rash near the outside corner, which I thought looked like the shingles. Yesterday, he decided if he had pink eye, he finally needed to go to the doctor since that is so contagious. We went to the only clinic open on Sunday, in Charlottesville, of course, and spent a good 3.5 hours there. Besides the initial waiting, Peter was sent to a room, was looked at, they started freaking out, almost sending him to the ER, then sent him to another waiting room, and then had to have several tests run.

He for sure has the shingles on the outside, but they weren't sure if it was in his eye. This meant a couple of tests. If it had attacked his cornea, he could end up blind in that eye. Good news, it wasn't. They ended up giving him both pink eye meds and meds for the shingles to be safe. Yay for health insurance! lol. I dont know what we would have done without it!

Luckily for me, I didn't get sick from any of this. Let's just hope it stays that way...I hope this is the end of his sickness for a while.
