Paul, I was there - didn't get to talk to you, just wanted you to know how great I thought everything went. I was one of the ladies with a wheelchair. It was a long day in the sun, but I'm so glad to have been part of it! I hope you found your phone!

Hey yall!!! I'm back. Was great to finally meet lymeladyinNY and Paul. Who else from Lymenet was there that I didn't meet? Soon as I download my pics to photbucket, I'll post em.

Everyone, it was a totally awesome experience and very freeing. Gee, I'd get me a tatoo if hubby wouldn't get mad: a great big lime green ribbon!!! Wooooooopee!

LymeLadyinNY, I too was there but I think the trip to get there wiped me out more than I expected and I lasted about an hour sitting up and met a few of the lyme patients but surely didn't get the rounds in I had hoped for.

From there, I crashed on a blanket IN THE SHADE. I was still aware of all of the speakers and what was going on....I just couldn't move. But I was so very glad that I was still there. I did make three laps on the protest but then had to go lay back down but I sadly wasn't the only one.

Paul, great pictures. I have some of mine on FB and tagged you in a few.

KAM, I have to admit to not being all the way there and in total brain fog, but I remember my son asking why all these people came out of the White House and started taking pictures of us. They didn't leave the steps but their cameras were pointing right at us, so I assume a zoom? I have no idea what that was about. Hopefully someone with more brain cells than I had on Saturday can answer this.

In the past, some from the "other side" have come to take pictures of Lyme patients at protests. Unfortunately, it was not for friendly purposes.

Never found the phone

but I had insurance so just need to pay a co-pay and wait a couple days.

my train also lost an engine both going down and coming home. causing a 2 hour delay both ways.

Amtrak gave me a 75 dollars voucher but I was hoping for more

over all was a great time. will have my replacement phone soon.

OMgosh Paul, that guy was a hoot!

Sounds like a sucky train ride home. Glad you made it back safe and sound despite the delay though.

this was a very special rally

i was at the westchester one years ago and remember how great it was to see lymenetters face to face

i don't think i'll get to another unless it is in my own backyard-the traveling would kill me

and a wheelchair would be necessary

but i am so glad so many of you went out and sent the message

now take care of yourselves...you need a rest
