Uggghh. So sorry to hear this. Doxycycline is the antibiotic of choice against tick-borne illness, so getcha some doxy, dude. Bleeehhhhh. Feel better, Capt.captmojo wrote:Watch for the new non-action hero...'Tickman'. Uggh, that'll be me. After my MD told me to take a series of antibiotics, call him if I wasn't feeling better in a couple of days because I had acute bronchitis, the First Mate found an embedded deer tick on the side of my big ol' belly last night and removed it.
Every symptom I was experiencing was related to anything BUT my bronchial tubes. Headache that will not go away. Like the brow of your head is wrapped in a tourniquet. 102 degree fever. My hands were HOT. I've never had hot hands.
Ticks is BAD shit. Little tiny deer ticks you don't even feel crawling on you, not big assed dog ticks.
Now, I have to go back over to the MD's office and show him my little bronchitis bug that was placed in a little plastic container. And, be certain the antibiotic he prescribed is sufficient. I dare him to charge me another co-pay!

Re: LTE 2.0
Anyone having vibes and prayers and good thoughts to spare, send some in the direction of my old friend Chip from home.
Chip pulled off the interstate to help a stranded motorist, and in trying to help her, both Chip and the lady he stopped to help were struck by a vehicle.
Both are in bad shape in the hospital. Chip had a traumatic amputation of his leg, but the hospital attempted to reattach it.
Thanks.

Vibes for Chip.
They have not mentioned Lyme's. RMSF however...I have no skin rashing.
Doxy is the shit! Three doses in, and my balance is much recovered. I'm beginning to get my taste back. Still not quite ready for prime time. Doc put me down until at earliest, next Monday.
I know I'll cheat. Of all things, I need to mow the yard!

Re: LTE 2.0
Glad you are on the mend, Capt'n! Kudos to the first mate for the intervention. You owe her!!!
Good Samaritan vibes flowing for the accident victims. Did the driver stop? If he acted responsibly, I have vibes for him, too. The guilt would be unbearable.
Bless all your hearts.
Love, Ima

It's a different Chip. I assume ChipSlate is fine. Yesterday TigerDevil and i had court. She was counting pennies to save for a flight to Oakland to see CV play for the Raiders, but otherwise she was fine, if bored.IowaDevil wrote:Huge and massive vibes for Chip and everyone involved including TigerDevil!
