Nice Job on the TV cabinet!

Yeah. I had shingles on my back, too. Luckily, when the stopped there was
no residual nerve damage. My late wife was not so lucky with her bout with
them. Started in her ear, worked around her neck and the side of her face,
and left lasting pain for many years. I got the shot when they started
recommending it for shingles survivors. I don't want that apin again.
