Thursday with Justin Justin Risinger finally got some painting done today. It looks great. He also helped me re-organize the garage. Love working with him. And, as if that wasn’t enough… we were playing Hand ‘n Foot after supper and both of us were feeling snacky. I was thinking chocolate chip cookie, but since there weren’t any I jokingly suggested that we could have some sardines. “I love sardines!” he exclaimed. “Do you have crackers?” I thought he must be kidding but I could tell by the look on his face that he meant it. “Wow,” I replied, “one of my favorite kids loves sardines, too? Perfect. Grampie Gower would be so proud of you, Justin. “ “Yeah, I wish I could have eaten them with him.” Right after lunch I headed to my appointment with Dr. Morgan. The story of my Lyme Disease is complicated. Treatment is not going to be easy, and it will be difficult to monitor for reasons too lengthy to share here. For example, the bacteria hides in deeper tissues in the body and goes into dormancy. When it’s dormant, anti-biotics don’t work. Most will only kill off the bacteria when it’s reproducing (active). All this becomes more complicated for me because I have been infected for a long time. There are so many variables to the disease and to the symptoms, but many agree that God has used my Shaklee nutrition to keep this problem as subdued as it is. I should be much sicker considering all the years I’ve had this. Year’s ago I heard a tape by a woman who had been diagnosed with MS years later discovered it had been misdiagnosed. She really had Lyme’s. I dug out the tape yesterday and re-listened to it. Her “MS” was diagnosed by an MRI brain scan, but the lesions seen in the scan were actually caused by the tick bite. I’ve had one of those, so will take my results to a specialist to see if that gives us any clues. This specialist not only has a Lyme’s practice, he teaches other doctors about it. I expect we’ll have a lot to talk about. Today was rainy and cool. I decorated Curves with a garden theme. Crysten came for supper with Justin as her partner they spanked Michele and I at Hand ‘n Foot. PS: I used Justin's full name to see if it will come up when I Google it. I hope to surprise him with that. |
