:colbert:

Here's my drama today. Dr started me on some physio and muscle relaxants for my back a couple weeks back. Seem to be helping. I can even sleep now, more or less. Day or two after I started on the muscle relaxants, I noticed a rash start on my lower right back (basically right kidney area). Didn't think much of it as it wasn't terribly itchy, but rashes are unusual for me in general. Thought it was maybe a side effect of the medication or something so I didn't really think about it.

After a week it persisted, decided to make an appt to get it checked out as it changed color a bit, but did seem to get a bit smaller. Appt was this morning.

Show it to the doctor (early 30s dude, super nice cool guy), he kind of smiles at me and says
:science: Hey, you have chicken pox as a kid?
:) Think so. Pretty sure.
:science: Congrats. You have shingles!
:( Really? Are you sure it's not just a rash or side effect. It's not really even that itchy or bothers me much.
:science: Haha, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Consider yourself lucky. Bad news is that we need to catch it within about 3-4 days to do much about it, too late for anything now really. Good news is it hasn't bothered you much and it looks like it's going away. At 2 weeks it's pretty much run its course and will probably be mostly gone next week. Stay away from kids, but don't worry too much about it.
:( Thanks.

FFS. God drat shingles. That's something my 80 year old grandpa got :( Oh well. At least I'm not a scratchy mess.

I know a dude with an 80's Crown Vic.

He tried to lure a different girl into a relationship a few years ago so there's three on his tally that we're aware but he's only been convicted for one.

I had a rash on my arm that came out of nowhere a couple years ago. Doctor immediately claimed it was shingles. It wasn't. It resolved in a week, but weird stuff (nobody ever figured out what it was, skin is strange). I hope yours isn't shingles, I've heard that poo poo hurts.

That's one of the things that made me so surprised. It's really not itchy or painful at all. If I scratch it, it might get slightly itchy for a moment, but doesn't stick around. Certainly not painful at all. Doctor seemed pretty darned sure though.

Although, a "rash" to hang around for 2 weeks is super unusual for me too, so IDKWTF.

One of my groomsmen is on a loving crusade to rescue his friends daughter that eloped with a registered sex offender. Dude is 35, girl turned 18 the day they took off. He'd been after her since she was 14 but it's not the same girl he got convicted for. I have been asked to be a part of the brute squad to murder this guy.

You could probably drive the motor backwards with a power drill. Hopefully it's just the switch and nothing else went bad or sheared. Does it make any noise when the switch is pushed at all?

So the switch probably works, but the motor is stuck or has sheared a gear off or something. Did the kids use the switch to move it or did they just reef on it like apes?

The Powershift solution would be to sit in it and reef on it with your body weight while pushing the button. It'll either fix the problem or create one too big to bother solving.
