How do we look for being old? We have a few extra pounds that we keep thinking will melt away because we are working out and eating less, but the fat just keeps clinging on. The wrinkles aren't to visable in the picture, thank goodness, and our thinning hair, well, we try to avoid that. We thought we would be the oldest looking couple at our 50th Class Reunion, but we looked like everyone else. We were in our comfort zone.
If you look closely at Tom you can see he has shingles on his right cheek. The pain is terrible, the redness persists, but the blisters are gone and the swelling has almost disappeared. He is a fighter and for this past five weeks he has been quietly battling this cursed afliction. How long will it continue? Who knows? Treatments have helped some, but it just won't go away! We've been homebound and are anxious to get back to enjoying life.
