I just saw this.  Oh Cheesy .  So sorry to hear this.   I hope your shingles have improved, and your MIL is better and not in a nursing home.

My shingles are gone now. I do have some scars on my forehead because of it. Maybe once it's safer for me to go to a dermatologist I'll have the dr see what they can do about it.
My mother in law is a resident of the nursing home now. I'm just glad she's an outspoken woman and she won't let them neglect or abuse her. She was a nurse in a nursing home herself at one time so she knows what they should be doing. And as she says she'll give them hell Columbia if they aren't doing what they're supposed to do.
