00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.500
My name is Larry Bone.

00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:09.000
When I was four years old, my dad took 

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.300
me to the shoreline of Lake Rogerene in northern 

00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:13.700
New Jersey and handed me a fishing pole. 

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:15.800
I keep a rod and I keep a 

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:17.600
tacklebox in the back of the car, 

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.200
so I’ll stop and I’ll pull off the side of the 

00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:23.200
road and I’ll throw a line in.  

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:24.900
You never know what you’re going to pull out. 

00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:29.000
It’s a good way to just kind of meditate, whatever.

00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:31.800
 It’s a passion, I guess.

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:34.500
It was 2004. 

00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:36.200
I was living on my own 

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.000
in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. 

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.500
I had a little house up there. 

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.300
I woke up one morning and I had this blister on my eye. 

00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:46.400
It’s rather strange, rather uncomfortable, and it 

00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:48.000
was this big, water-filled thing

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.300
and I thought, “I don’t like this.”

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:56.300
When my doctor first told me I had the shingles, 

00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.300
I didn’t really think a whole lot of it. 

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:03.300
Three days later, that was the end of me. 

00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:09.300
I was vomiting, couldn’t move, couldn’t get up. 

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:11.400
I lost two weeks of my life. 

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:15.800
Shingles was like almost beyond description. 

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.600
Totally, completely debilitated. 

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:25.200
When you felt that bad, you don’t have a real good 

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.600
frame of reference for what feeling good is like.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.600
 If there’s anything you can do to not 

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:35.500
end up in that situation, do it. Don’t play games. 

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:38.000
It’s not something you want to end up with. 

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:39.900
Take some form of action.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:48.000
You can prevent shingles. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about getting vaccinated.
