Flu & Shingles Vaccine at the same time

JK my husband got his meds today… the pharmacy was lacking in having a couple of them in stock yesterday. Last night he did not sleep well at all because of the pain. The meds should help him get better. He is having to do eyedrops… to help prevent the Shingles from entering his eye. He hates eyedrops. He has me put them in. .. oh when he picked the meds up the pharmacist said that Shingles is a very rare side effect of the vaccine.
Our dog has to have eyedrops daily and he growls and fusses (not viciously.. just displeasure) at me when it is time to do them. My husband jokingly did a growl at me before I put the drops in his eye. When I was through Ziggy (dog) jumped in his lap and leaned against him… I guess he was comforting my husband. Ziggy got lots of petting from my husband.
Take in the tiny joys of life as they come 😀🐩

@fourof5zs Your dog was comforting your husband knowing what it's like to get eye drops! Dogs are great.
I'm fine with eye drops but I can remember when my son was a baby, he was impossible. He had conjunctivitis and I just could not get them in at all. It cleared up anyway though.
I sure hope that we can get the shingles shot soon, thoughts of getting it, particularly knowing what my sister-in-law has gone through, make me squirm.
