My dasd had shingles in his 80s. He was in the big one and was know for a high tolerance for pain. he shingles were very tough on him.
When I was 15 I had small pox and my mom told the dr that I had had them when I was a kid.
The dr called our retired family doctor who not only remembered me but when I had small pox.
Can’t explain it.
A few years ago my doc asked me if I wanted a shingles shot. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I jumped at it and it’s supposed to last the rest of my life.
Interesting turn of a phrase,could be interpreted other than intended. ( big grin )
I hope that was “Chicken Pox” and NOT “Small Pox!”
