Ron,
So sorry to hear about Earlene. Anyone who has every had shingles has said how much discomfort was associated with them. Please send Kelly & my regards along to her and we hope for a speedy recovery.

I got the vaccine last year Dick. A very simple process that you can do at most CVS and Walgreen stores here in Indiana. A little pricey, but certainly not as painful as shingles.
