I feel pretty good today and think I have finally turned the corner with this Shingles virus. The debilitating pain is now sporadic and the rash seems to have stopped spreading. I am really lucky to have caught this early, otherwise it might have been a very long and traumatic illness.
I've been reading the Facebook posts of my fellow trainees and they all seem to be very happy and content. I'm glad that they can experience these first days of training all together as one group. The process of bonding is a wonderful time and they will be a stronger group for it. Unfortunately, I am missing this time with them but at the same time, I am really grateful that I will be able to join them soon. We have a great group dynamic...far different than the one I experienced when I went to Ukraine. Perhaps it is because this is a much smaller group (55 as opposed to 106) and a longer staging time (4 days as opposed to 2). We also have 10 folks in the group over 50...hooray! I love this. There were only 4 of us over 50 who went to Ukraine.
I wish them well in their new adventures and hope to see them all very soon.
