If you contracted chicken pox as a kid, you’re in the strike zone for shingles. (This wasn’t mentioned elsewhere.)
My wife and I are both 65. We have no health insurance. We also have two genuine miraculous healings by God. That doesn’t include the ones that can not be proven to be miracles. We also haven’t done Television since 1997. We don’t see ads pointing out all the millions of diseases we could contract at any moment. We prefer to live life joyously, one day at a time and put it in the Lord’s control.
This thread reminds me of what a therapist told me once. She said that one of the first things people in the medical profession are taught is to not become hypochondriacs, worrying that all the ailments they are going to learn about just may be festering in their own body, waiting to make a grand entrance into their life.
What happens, happens. And life truly is very short. It only lasts one day. Others may follow, or may not. Others may be more prosperous, or less. Others may be less painful, or more. But in the end, every single thing that happens to us is something that teaches. Everything we have or do is something that either enhances or detracts from our relationship with our creator, and our fellow man.
Today looks to be a good day. We’ll see what we can learn from it. :)
What if you had a chickenpox vaccine shot as a kid? Does that protect you from shingles?

Everyone over 40 had Chicken Pox as a kid.
