Burying My Head in the Sand

2head_in_sand_21

I went through most of the whole weekend beginning with my awakening to only find that I could not hear a thing. The Doc said just to try this and wait until Monday for my Post Surgery Checkup/Hearing Test. First of all, silent movies are not the most entertaining, and I couldn’t get my TV to show the dialog as they do for the hearing impaired.

Come Monday and on my way to docs my hearing comes partially back. The hearing test comes out quite poorly.

The War Has Begun

…”You must be strong now. You must never give up. And when people make you cry and you are afraid of the dark, don’t forget the light is always there”…

Well, here I go again! I had almost six wonderful years of being recovered from my chronic Lyme Disease. It was just a blessing. Now, after battling it out and thinking I will recover from my surgery in April, I am preparing for my battle once again. I may not win the War but I WILL ALWAYS WIN THE BATTLE. It has re-emerged in full, blown service. However, this battle is just beginning. I will emerge stronger and better than I was before. I SHALL WIN THIS BATTLE!!!

Life is always full of surprises and I will respond with a surprise of my own because I intend to win!

How It All Began with Lyme Disease

LymeWarsHow It All Began

After becoming completely debilitated six weeks after having a tick embedded in me, I recovered from Lyme after a year and half of treatment with conventional and modern Chinese medicine; I did well for six years. After surgery in 2009, the battle began again. It took a year of antibiotic and unconventional treatment to overcome Babesia. In my life, I have been able to overcome Babesia, Bartonella, and Lyme; I plan on remaining well.  (You may also want to read, What I Wish My PCP Knew. If more physicians knew about the seriousness,  if left untreated, I would not have had to lose my sight and motor skills.)

I have found that more are curious as to my experiences with these three beasts: Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella. Thus, I am sharing with you “Woman Shares Ordeal with Lyme Disease” as it appeared in the Daily Jefferson County Union, my hometown newspaper, on February 11, 2010. Later, I shared my story again with Brandilyn Collins on her website. (below)
