Hi All I wanted to fill you in on my condition since being Reinfected by tick bite-- I had a bullseye on my elbow about 2 months ago- XXXXX 9 cuss words -- I had been doing Real Good and felt I was close to having this nightmare over with till I got bit again- At the time of bite I was taking very few ABX and felt Good-- Once being bit I got Real Sick again Quickly- I was wondering what was wrong then I saw the Bullseye on my elbow - then I Knew - It was 4 to 10 days after reinfection I went back on high dose of ABX and got perty sick -- Now 2 months after being bit I am starting to to feel human again - I do have some joint pain and I want it to go away too --still a little achey - Maybe this reinfection wont put a end to the progress I had been making -- Now on to the good stuff -- Over the last 10 days I crashed my bicycle 2 times -- The first time I almost broke my right ankle It Really hurt - It was hard to walk for awhile but by yesterday morning I did not look like Festus on Gun Smoke anymore -- Last Night I rode by bike to the Grocery store - Yes I had Bananas in my back pack - On the way back I was riding up a curb and the steering tube on my bike Snapped -- All of a sudden it was like I was Pulling a wheelie with Only handle bars and No Front wheel -- I sure wish I had a picture of the look on my face --LOL I did not hit the ground real hard - but it sure felt like I broke something in my Left foot this time --LOL - My bike was broken in Half and every step I took hurt -Ouch - I called a cab and it Showed Up - This is the only time I have ever called a cab in Austin and it arrived - Lucky -- I am fixing the bike so it wont ever break again -- I am back to Looking like Festus again- - Jay-

Jay....I don't think I'd try to fix that bike but just opt for a new one you use it so much. I saw one poor guy whose front brake caliper came apart and lodged in the spokes....talk about an endo. Or maybe you need a Harley? Charlie

I bet you are glad it didn't happen in front of the hot bike girls! Sorry. I am really sorry you were hurt twice. Glad you are starting to feel better. Please get your foot x-rayed. Hairline fractures are so easily missed. Maybe time to put this bike out to pasture and get a new one to go with your new, improved life. Hugs, Geneal
