Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 307 | Thanks Christine! Ron will be 60 in October and he's definitely going to get the Shingles shot when he's healed. Yes, his surgery will be as an out patient. It's scheduled for next Tuesday. He's been fortunate in the respect that he still heals pretty quickly in spite of the radiation. Yesterday he was feeling awful and running a fever. Last night his fever broke and he woke up drenched. He called me today around noon and said he was feeling 100% better! I would imagine the strong antibiotics he's getting are kicking in. On a side note...Ron doesn't have one gray hair on his head (and he still has a full head of hair)! He doesn't look like he's going to be 60! Thanks again for all of your help.
Love,
Shelley
