Ok, even I freak out now and then

I will not google. I will not google. I will wait to call my doctor at 9am. I will not google.

This is the mantra going through my head right now. I got an email last night from my uncle warning me that my grandfather (age 93) has just been diagnosed with shingles. Contagious and dangerous.

I haven't seen my grandpa in two years, so it's reasonable that I spent ALL Thanksgiving by his side. I have definitely been exposed. CRAP!

And not to mention, I am worried about my grandpa. At 93, this cannot be an easy illness to get over. My mom was down with shingles for over a year when I was 14... I hope he's ok...
