Now I know how Job felt.

Today was a tough day.

It takes, at best, two or three days for the anti-viral shingles medicine to have any beneficial effect and the effect is minimal. Any relief from the pain would be welcome.

Doing something that diverts my attention clearly helps, as does sleeping.

Other than doing a run up to get wheatgrass I was home all day. Tomorrow, we go to get Bob removed and I think that will help.

The research manager has identified that shingles can be a side effect of the ringworm medication that I am taking. Also, some chemo prompts it to appear. Complicated life!

I am reminded of the story of the guy who had all kinds of bad things happen. His friend told him to cheer up. It could be raining. Sure enough, he cheered up and it started raining.

I have received several encouraging emails today to cheer me up and, what do you know, along comes Hurricane Irma.

I was wondering what else could go wrong and then an ad about Hepatitis C came on the television. If that were to happen, I will be auditioning for the title role in the next production of The Book of Job.

Heck, with this blog, I may be writing "Job 2".
