What a WEEK!!!!!!

Hi ppls well last day in SA the wedding was gorgeous & a whole lot of fun. After travelling from Mclaren Vale to Nuriootpa on Tuesday, we spent yesterday scouring cemetries, old farmhouses and old churches for family history going back to my great grandfather's grandfather who arrived in Aldinga SA in 1800's and moved up to Kapunda. We were also lucky enough to catch up & have lunch with the newlyweds in Clare. Today we are going down to Williamstown SA & some wineries around the Barossa then on the road again tomorrow for home Thanx SA for a great time hope to see you again soon..... will post photos soon...

 

Well it's time for a change

Well our trip north only lasted 1 week instead of 6 After having a pain in my back for a coupla days ( putting it down to traveling for 2 days straight) then developing an itch in the same area & pain increasing I went to a all hours doctor ( early Sunday morning) to find out I had shingles.I have allergies to most common pain relievers ( codeine, opiates etc) so finding relief wasn't easy. 
I decided if I was going to be in pain & not able to do anything it was time to be at home where I wouldn't disturb or burden my in-laws. 2 days of excruciating pain in the car ( sorry the rash had taken over my left shoulder blade area with pain thru to the chest, breast, armpit & top of arm) to get home where Peter has been a great help & carer.
It is 6 weeks later I have had a various combinations of medications the last one prescribed yesterday but the rash is nearly gone but the pain continues to make life uncomfortable.
Before I got really sick I had enrolled for a class with Linda Baldock at A Scrappe Angels Heaven so I dosed up really well and attended having Robyn next to me to help I made it thru & with a few finishing touch still to come I am pleased I went & I will post photos when it is complete.
