Blimey..cant believe this was only last year!!.......She recovered well and the only place she scarred was her lower back where the shingles was worst (is that a word??)...It took nearly 3 weeks for everything to clear up..She hasnt caught it again, but i do have a stock of the drugs needed just in case, as once you have had shingles you are more prone to getting it again.And with the amount of kids that have had chicken pox in her class i cant be too careful.
