Just logged on to see this post and almost peed myself laughing!
Thank you.
Well...at least UTI is one symptom you won't have to worry about today.
Are there any meds left for the poor pooch? if not, maybe a dash of cranberry juice to his water.
Here's a TRUE lame brain story you'll enjoy:
My baby was about 2 months old when we were having a small family get together.
Anyway, it was photo time and I became hysterical because I couldn't find him. I yelled for everyone to look for him and started running around the house in a panic.
Everybody just sat there watching me, laughing.
Finally, my husand came to my rescue and said, "Um, er, hon....You're holding him!"
You and your pooch have a nice day.
love, andie, JC & Julie

You made my morning. Sorry it was unfortunate for you - but think of the smiles you put on the faces of alot of sick people.
Last year, my dog, husband, son and me had lyme. My husband has to be heroic, 2 weeks of doxy and he's fine. My beagle was on steroids, doxy and something for the pain. The vet told me beagles have elongated necks and are naturally in pain, but with the lyme, she was salivating like old yellar. Two weeks of this mix and she was like a puppy. Inside of every cabinet door, I have meds for the day. One cabinet was my husbands (lyme + cholesterol), my beagle (steroids, and lyme) my son, lyme meds (I think doxy and the time) and my usual 27 meds per day (ceftin, antiox's...) I only have 4 cabinets and thank god no other family members with illnesses. (actually noother family members that live with me). My 2 sisters and neice have lyme and are on iv and orals ---- Enough cabinet space for all to get ready the meds for survival of the day. I borrowed my beagles doxy when I ran out. After 2 weeks, you wouldn't know it was the same dog.
Thanks for the am laugh. Hope you are well after this fiasco.

Cream cheese, brilliant. He goes mad and almost sprains his tongue trying to get the peanut butter off the roof of his mouth.
I will try it!

Lymelady,
Feel not alone on this one!
I once ate my dog's multi-vit/min., thinking I grabbed the bottle next to it!

I suggested the cream cheese thing to a friend of mine and her dog actually ate the cream cheese and spit the pill out. Mine are so greedy they just grab it and swallow it whole. Hope it works for you!

These stories are hilarious!! God, a laugh is worth a thousand pills.
My smart-ass brother made me roar when I told him I had lyme disease. He said look on the bright side; think what you gave the tick.
After his succulent meal on your thigh he went back to his little tick family and found he wasn't the same. He was untackful and outrageous and questioned his existence every moment. He bitched and moaned and finally had to be put on ticky prozac. His normal placid tick personality was permanantly changed forever and he never shut up.
His wife left him out of desperation, sick and tired of his smart mouth and perverse outlook on life, not to mention his bizarre sense of humor.
My brother and I are a lot alike. And it made fall down laughing when I read it and wee bit comforted (crappy little tick). Cheers Lymelady

I once mistook nail polish remover for "Seabreeze". My face broke out in a blotchy red rash. I've also sprayed hair spray in my armpits, but not deoderant in my hair! Funny stuff! Kookie

Thanks for the laugh. I love hearing all these stories. At least, I know I'm not alone.
I made hubby promise not to tell this but I can tell it here. We got a notice in the mail this week that a payment was 15 days past due.
I specifically remember giving it to hubby to mail. The next day I said, I forgot to put the coupon in the envelope. Little did I know then that I hadn't put the check in either and they got an empty envelope. I felt so stupid when I found out what I did.
I told hubby the good thing about having lyme is that I can watch a movie and then watch it again and not remember what happened. I recall it as I see it again so I know I've seen it before.
At least, we can laugh at ourselves. It took me a while to be able to do that.

Listen don't laugh, people in my family do things like that all the time.
My aunt DID brush her teeth with Preperation H and did not have lyme. My daughter some years ago, had an upcoming date with a dreamy kind of guy and immediately had a huge pimple break out on her forehead.
She panicked. Someone told her to put tootpaste on it overnight to dry it up. She did, blue gel toothpaste She had to go on the date with this big blue dot on her head that wouldn't wash off. She did not have lyme either.
Suave bunch don't you think.

These posts are too funny, I have to get in on this one!
We had 13 inches of snow over the weekend, and a blonde (no offense anyone) said "I did the dumbest blonde thing yesterday". I (a brunette) said with interest "oh yeah, what happened?" She said she went out to shovell out her car-which was totally covered over by the snow plows. She said she worked for hours. She couldn't dig any further, her arms hurt, her legs hurt, her back hurt. (She's one of THOSE blonds, all of 90 pounds soak and wet!)
Suddenly, she realized that she had spent all of this time digging out her neighbor's car!
She called her brother-in-law- in histerics and he came to her rescue.

i shared an office with a woman who kept both Summer's Eve wet wipes, and Stain remover wet wipes in her purse. you know, one is for "personal cleanliness", and the other is to dab on your clothing when you're a slob at lunch and don't want to get a stain. So guess which one she grabbed and used YOU KNOW WHERE right before leaving for a gyn appointment?

Thanks all for the biggest laugh I've had since getting Lyme. I've done lots of stupid lymie things but was in too much of a fog to remember them all.
I did search the kitchen for my missing tea bags the other morning. Finally I decided to look in the fridge.
I also repeated this one quite a few times this cold winter. While cooking I put hot water in a cold bowl to warm it up. When my stir fry was ready I added it to the bowl but forgot to drain the water first. It overflowed all over the counter. Now I just use cold bowls.
Getting dressed has been a challenge: I suppose 2 left gloves are better than no gloves. One morning I put on black underwear and then somehow put on the wrong pants. When I got home at night I looked in the mirror and discovered I was wearing pastel pink pants with my black undies showing through.
I walked away from the mail box and discovered I was still holding the letter I went to mail. I had "mailed" the other things I was holding. I then went fishing in the mail box with an untwisted coat hanger with gobs of sticky packing tape on the end and managed to retrieve my stuff. This may have been I federal crime but I could always plead Lyme induced mental incompetency.
OK, time to go brush my teeth. Wish me luck, good night. h&s

Just this morning at the park (before other dog ball incident reported elsewhere here), I threw my dog's rubber ball in the public trash can, and then carried the bag of poop to the car with me.
I did realize my error before driving home.

I really don't care about the drug interaction, I might worry if I start lifting my leg to pee.

And here I thought this was going to be a serious thread--someone in such dire need of abx that they resorted to taking their dog's.
Thanks for the laugh, Lymelady. Sorry you're dealing with Lyme brain--but who isn't? At least as long as we can laugh at ourselves we're not too far gone

I told this story to my Doc to emphasize how far gone my brain is- he almost had me committed!
I was getting ready for worship services on a Sunday, decided to wear my nice black velvet dress, but couldn't find my black dress shoes. Thought they might be in the car, so I slipped on my old, muddy, hideous garden clogs to go look in the car. Of course, by the time I got to the car, couldn't remember what I went to look for. My Dad came by in his car to offer my a ride, so I hopped in with him and left... not realizing still had the clogs on until I got there. Wow, what am impression that made!
Borrowed Dad's keys and car, went home saying out loud to myself the whole way "BLACK DRESS SHOES"- got home and realised I didn't have a house key.
Amazingly enough, my shoes were in my car, it was unlocked, and I still got back to services before they began.
At work, the special order post-its in bulk for me, cause I go thru about a pack a day. Have to write a thought as soon as I have it, or it's gone, no work gets done, and Trillian loses her job.
My Grandfather lists these advantages to a poor memory:
"Every book is a new book.
Every movie is new, too.
Life is full of surprises. How exciting to find your glasses in the fridge, and milk in the bathroom cabinent!
You can go ahead and forget all of the people who bug you.
Your spouse knows better than to expect you to remember petty little things like taking out the garbage, or your wedding anniversary.
Every morning you wake up, and there's a new woman in the house!"
