although I haven't seen my granny, my mum was in the hospital with her yesterday & she has been told she has shingles. My mum was due to visit today & has rung & cancelled because she doesn't want to risk me/unborn baby health - particulary as we are on hols next week - flying to Spain.
I've looked on the NHS website & as myslef, Dd & Dh have had chickenpox, it states we aren't at risk. Also read that you can't catch shingles as it's non-viral.
Want to see my mum today - but don't want to take any chances...
Can anyone advise please ?
