[nfbwatlk] Appointed to the SRC Council

[Mike Freeman]

Debby:

Congrats on your appointment.

Sorry you have shingles. As you indicate, many people have rather a tough
time with it.

Your urging all to get the shingles vaccine comes rather too late for me,
however. I got shingles in my forties. It was in a nerve around the middle
of my body. Felt like someone had slugged me in the stomach. Other than
that, though, shingles didn't affect me as severely as it seems to many
others including my late father.

Here's hoping you recover quickly.

Mike Freeman

Good morning all! FRIDAY I received a letter from the Governor's Office
informing me that I have been appointed to the State Rehabilitation Council
for Department of Services for the Blind.  
I had put in my application so long ago that I figured I had not been
selected.  I am very excited about this, however I'm not sure I will make
the first meeting, which is on Friday.

I also went to the doctor on Friday because I have been having very painful
headaches on the right side of my head.  The Aleeve
(spelling) I had been taking was no longer working to get rid of the pain
and I rarely get headaches.  Well, it turns out that I have Shingles.  As
cases go, mine is fairly mild.  But it's still very painful, and I feel
pretty drained.  So I will decide by
8:00 tomorrow morning.  If I were to decide right now, the answer would be
no.  I hate to miss the first meeting, but I have to make a decision at some
point so flight arrangements can be made and so forth, so after talking with
Deb LEWIS, I told her I'd make the decision by tomorrow morning at 8:00.
And here's a piece of unsolicited advice: if you are 60 or older and have
NOT received a Shingles vaccination, please do so.  I will tell you that
even my hair hurts.  Yesterday we had to run one errand and by the time we
got home, I was wiped out and ready to go back to bed.  Poor Neena is not
getting her walks, but the cold makes my 
head hurt more.  I'm ready for spring.  Lol.    Peace,    Debby 
and Neena
