That reminds me: I did get a shot and/or medication, and the doc said it was good that I had come in immediately. He said, as I recall, that the new medication/shot(?) he gave me "tended" to keep it from coming back. This was a long time ago, and I've forgotten a lot about it.

In recent years an elderly friend battled shingles in her eye. I had never heard of such a thing.
