House and ticks

[Guest guest]

first of all let me just say that Dr. House or Hugh Laurie is one of the

most absolutely sexy men on this earth.................there, got that off

my chest......I love his dry humour and sarcasm, and the odd time he

smiles..........well....*sigh*............

Now, on to the ticks - I found that so interesting as we take the dogs out

walking in the bird sanctuary, and no doubt the ticks are everywhere, so we

will definately stop that. Mike was more disturbed by the girl saying that

she knew she had 5 - 10 years with a new heart....of course that led him to

think the he might only have a limited time to live with his new

liver.....any thoughts on that - I've known people for 25 years with a new

heart and different organ transplants...I just didn't understand that

information.

Also, on the tick issue - I have a friend who was vaguely diagnosed with MS

a couple of years ago - they just couldn't confirm it, but she had the

classic symptoms - repeated MRI's would show no real change and it left her

with an inconclusive diagnosis, but one pointing to MS - so, after reading

and researching and so on, she asked her doctor to treat her for Lyme

Disease - I saw her the other day after some time and she looked fabulous -

she said that after about a week of treatment, she woke up and felt like the

weight of the world was lifted - she is back running again (not on her

husband, but around the block) and while she doesn't know if she had lyme

disease or MS or what the heck - she also can't explain her new found

health......so

I can't add anything to that except be careful, transplant or not. I saw

one of those little suckers imbedded in an arm at the hospital last

year..............YUCK...they are not pretty......

have a great day - it's friday!! woo hoo....!!!!!
