Hi Geoff,

It is unfortunate that sometimes having treatment for one problem can make you more susceptible to another. You have my sympathy with shingles. (I have had it twice, many years before being diagnosed with PCa and I remember how debilitating it can be). It requires special attention if it affects your eyes.

Hope you soon overcome the effects and are able to hold your new Grandson ,who I assume will not yet have been immunized against chickenpox/shingles.

As if it isn't bad enough getting shingles to get it at this time is extremely unlucky timing. 


Many congratulations on the safe birth of your great grandson and I hope that it won't be too long before you can give him a hug.


Best wishes

Congratulations Great Granddad Banjobert.

You'll hold him in due course and it will be all the better for it.

When our second grandson was born (our daughter's first child) his 5 month old cousin had been hospitalised with suspected meningitis and as I had visited him before diagnosis I was not allowed to go anywhere near the newborn and it was weeks before I could hold him.

I had to stand in the doorway of the hospital room and view him from afar.

You'll get your hugs in eventually
