OOPS

At the insistence of my financial controller and ace number one daughter, I went to a new doctor. They are a lot more concerned about my chronic Lyme disease than I am. I’ve had the disease since 1987 and have learned to just accept it - most of the time. Yes, I am usually in pain or feel like I’m having a heart attack, but that’s what I get for going hunting and getting bit by a tick.

The new doc informed me that "they," being the medical community that he travels with, do not completely accept Lyme disease as being the result of a tick bite. So, he treats the symptoms, just like he would Myalgia. They must not have deer ticks in Mississippi where he went to school.

It may not be real, but it did put me into a hospital for four days, taking massive doses of antibiotics and having doctors think I was going to die. Medical science sure does move slowly.

He and I did agree that I do have OOPS.

Ornery Old People Syndrome.
