And speaking of old guys........

Recently cut short a backcountry solo hunting trip. Never in a gazillion years would i have ever guessed it would have been because of coming down with shingles.....they ain't no joke, still recovering.
And one thing I learned is that one should know how to activate their SOS device without being able to see. I was able to hike out but it's worth thinking about.

Dang! Looks painful.

Sorry to hear about your plight. I seen my dad suffer greatly from shingles. There was no question in my brain to get the vaccine.

And that's a fact....I'll be getting mine when I heal up.

Sorry about that ...

PSA .. just a reminder for everyone else that there is a Shingles Vaccine. Yep, I got it, but after I had Shingles the second time (you can get it more than once).

My pain was enough to get my wife to go get the two shots (Shingrix). She hates shots.

Dang man! That’s no joke. You look like Deadpool without his mask on. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Wow brother that looks extremely painful. Great friend of mine had it and said he felt like he was on fire being stabbed over and over again. The shingles vaccine is the only vaccine I've ever had, because of what my buddy went through. He is definitely not someone to complain either. Heal quickly!!
