I have a week off from work and planned a 3-4 day ride starting tomorrow. Kathy and I are both teachers and I'm finished with the semester and she still has classes until the first week of June so it was a perfect time to take a solo jaunt up to Palo Duro Canyon. The weather's not too hot and since kids are still in school it wouldn't have been crowded.
However, last week my left shoulder/chest started hurting and tingling. Nothing really bad, but worrysom. I went to the doctor and he said it was either a pinched nerve or shingles, but since I didn't have a rash he treated me for the pinched nerve and put me on steroids. They didn't seem to have any effect and the pain got worse. Yesterday the rash showed up so I guess its shingles--I have call into the anwering service this morning. I'll have to cancel the trip and call into the office and change my vacation time to sick leave.
