Hi Robin,
I didn't mean to abandon Jeopardy! I appreciate your taking the time to come up with games to bring some humor to Lymenet.
I'm having a very rough time with Rifampin right now (after thinking the worst was over), swamped with work, doctors' appointments, the whole bit. But I will put on my thinking cap (if only there were such a thing!) when I can.
I hope MagicAcorn's son is OK. Squirrel hugs continue to go out to them!
Jill

I met someone this past week who was infected in the Phillipines 20 years ago by picking ticks off his dogs. He didn't know his myriad symptoms matched Lyme until I told him this week. This is an international phenom.

DocDave,
You and MagicAcorn are in a running battle for the best and funniest squirrel photos. I feed lots of squirrels and I've never seen an St. Patty's squirrel or a mooning squirrel - you've discovered new species!!
I've seen a few infectious disease ducks I'd love to send that mooning squirrel to!
How are you feeling?
Jill

lyme disease doing good. but feel its going to relapse any day. can't walk well for fear i will fall, and pain feels like knee will give out. surgery 7 weeks ago went well but now pain lower than knee.
lots of heavy stress and severely depressed. wife living in another apartment, wants to live together, but won't live in our house.
i can't stand going to her apartment. so i don't see her much because i can't go to her apartment.
trying to sell house, showing this week dropped out , so now i'm really depressed.
may just have to rent house and buy new house, cause can't stand the stress any longer. have four dogs that shed and must clean house for 1 day for showing, then take them to park for 1.5 hours, just too much stress for me.
so even showing the house is a major ordeal for me, the house was cleaned yesterday, and she cancelled after i cleaned.
so now major depression, so i posted the irish squirrels instead.

DocDave,
Have you seen your orthopedic surgeon for a follow-up just to make sure the knee isn't going through some post-surgical issue or perhaps you need more physical therapy?
I know you said the pain is now below the knee, but we all know how pain can refer or how pain can be caused when we compensate by walking differently or whatever to try to take pressure off of a painful area.
Just throwing that out in hopes that it is a localized knee-oriented issue, not Lyme in that area.
I totally relate to the feeling of being overwhelmed, I think we all do. I've been through a major move while being very ill and it's horrible. I also know that my Lyme and coinfections have gotten worse this past year due to family crises.
So don't be hard on yourself, you've got a lot of stresses on top of everything.
I spent three days this holiday weekend cleaning my house because friends were coming over and I've been too sick to clean it. I literally was on the brink of fainting from trying to do that much housework while being sick. So I can only imagine how you feel trying to keep the house clean in order to show it.
Is your wife's apartment something you could tolerate for brief visits?
Thanks for posting the squirrels. Hopefully they cheered you up - they gave me a great big smile!
Jill

lyme symptoms in remission for 4 weeks now. knee pain is NOT LYME REALATED.
it is physical pain. it feels as though when he ground the meniscus and bone he left a high spot on the bearing bone. at rest ,if i been my knee, i can feel it slip 3-4 times before it straightens. almost like a nick on a wheel.
i will see him next week or get a second oppinion.
this is one of the orthopods that did not want to do surgery due to lyme.
day after surgery , there was no swelling, waliking fine, zero pain after surgery. i told him that i was sterile inside my body and i could not get an infection!!!!!! i giving up squirrels for lent.
luckily i'm jewish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cute squirrels, Docdave -- re no squirrels for lent, may I remind you that squirrels don't fast; they are fast.
Sorry about your troubles -- we all go through stuff and can relate to the overwhelm...take it easy...
5 more ticked-off countreeze:
Honderxus, Elyme Salvador, Belyme, Pehru, Bolymia(or maybe these are the names for Stymie's next five squirrels)

I decided to bring this post back for Rose today. I looked at her site at www.angelfire.com/tx3/RoseWriter/ She recorded a Lyme rewrite for John Denver's "Leavin' On A Jet Plane", called "Grievin' On A Lyme Train."(Lyrics by Jeaninne Der Bedrosian) Please see this site for lyrics, and if you can listen, great. I don't have audio here myself...
Near the end, lyrics say:
Persecution of Lyme docs must cease Find longterm treatment of Lyme disease Until that time this song will have no end...
This is also an appropriate statement for today, Dr. Jones' hearing.
May Rose's song never end...

Robin123, lymenut, suggested I post my song parody here: "If you'd like, you could go there and post your song lyrics. If you do this, it'll resurrect us from the netherworld of pg 16 to the top of General Support, and who knows, it might inspire some more songs..." So here goes...
The Lyme Rally Song
(Sung to the tune of ``Vietnam Rag'' as performed by Country Joe and the Fish) *************************************************
And it's one two three What are we living for? IDSA doctors don't give a damn Tell us we're all a scam.
And it's five six seven Waitin' by the Pearly Gates With all this pain we wonder why Whoopee! Why we don't just die!
(Anybody besides me remember Woodstock?)
Be well, Connie
