We should get the first results on the Lyme test this week. He'll take more blood and retest it too, seems there are a lot of false negatives with the Lyme Disease tests...or so he says.

Last year, a friend of mine, Neil Prete, went to Puerto Rico (I think it was) for a poker tournament. He got bit. His doctor didn't even consider Lyme and was never tested for it. Neil died in about 6 weeks. That is rare, but since it happened to someone I knew...I insisted my doctor put that on the list of tests to do.

After looking at my arm, it didn't take much convincing. Had the "target" element and other symptoms.

Now, in days gone by, this bite, whatever it is, probably would have been handled by my immune system. My diabetes battle the last few years have more than likely left my system a little vulnerable to attacks...

It does take a lot longer for the little scrapes and bruises to go away and anything on my feet...and I haven't been able to walk for any distance for about 2 weeks now...

AH Sandi, um, not to be personal, but I think you can relate to my WHINE:

GETTING OLD IS HELL. (at least it is for some of us Oldies but Goldies)

Thanks for your post.
