How bout we start a thread about our small victories that will lead to winning the war against lyme in our lives?
I'll start.
My 12yr old son, who is home-tutored as he recovers has made 2(!) friends that he is getting together with.

My recent brain MRI did not show any tumors!
It did show 1 white mass; a closed off blood vessel they felt was an old injury.

Well this feels like a big victory to me...
I actually drove to the mall and got to stay there like 2 whole hours.
Most days I can't drive anywhere due to the severity of the fatigue.
Char - I am glad your son has some friends he gets to play with....
I have had lyme since I was 10 so I know how hard it can be to keep friends even at that age.
BettyG - I am glad there was not any tumors...
I hope the stuff they did find is not serious.

With some help this weekend the ENTIRE house got cleaned!
Also--my tulips that I had put in the fridge until end of jan (coz it doesnt get cold enough here) and then planted came up and bloomed beautifully.
my first success with tulips ever.
yipee!

My SO and I were dancing in the kitchen today, and I reserved a beach house for a week next September.

I like this post! A nice upbeat change of pace! We can all answer this if we try hard enough!
Small victories...we have to be thankful and grateful for the things we can do.

got the courage to tackle doing my own income tax this year (to save the money for an acct.) asked a friend to help me for about ten minutes go over the 1040.
NO WAY COULD I HAVE TRIED THIS IN THE PAST!!

Though I am as slow as molasses, I have been able to get washed and dressed each day, take care of my cats, do a load of laundry for mom every other day.
Able to do my taxes on line.
Made some mothers day presents and start to wrap them.
On a strong day, ride in car with parents and use scooter in Walmart or supermarket.
