Once again I am reminded that reality is always different than the plans that we make. Vacation was great. Peaceful, hidden away from all civilization with no TV, cell phone, computer, etc., and I couldn't have been happier. But it is nice to be home. With my pets. The reality check came when I arrived, and was so tuckered out I couldn't hardly walk the hill to our cabin. Hiking was out. I was bummed. I walked every day, but no long hikes deep into the forest, which I love to do almost more than anything. Maybe one day, maybe not. I did get some kayaking in, and a little swimming. The weather was perfect. I am not 'on holiday' from meds this week, so I was dealing with side effects some of the time. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up one day and be able to do all the things I used to do? Now I really need a reality check.
Today my 9 yr. old nephew from Alaska is with me, and he got me good this morning. He said, in all seriousness, "why aren't you green?". I looked at him funny and said "why?". "Well, you have LYME Disease!!!" HA HA HA!!! Kids, he had a good time with that one. And I got a good laugh too.
Next blog, on to more serious stuff. I am contemplating my sequence of info., should I start with the basics about ticks (boring) or symptoms, or various doctors I've seen over the years, treatments, detoxing..... the list is endless and probably will end up out of order anyway. I am a Lymie after all.
