HAHA! The joke is on ME! Have you ever heard this:

Q: What does a redneck say before a trip to the Emergency Room?

A: Hey Y'all Watch This!

That was the story of my life- trying anything once, and getting the hound

knocked outta me for doing it;>)

So when I had to deal with all the injuries as I got older, and all the

sickness that came along too, I was dying by the time I was 45 and I knew

it, and I had to take the same attitude I had always lived by to get myself

well: try anything at least once. Some of those things have not been so

smart.

I was always an experimenter and always took a dare, nearly set the house on

fire a couple of times, always had the cops looking for me, the preacher

called my parents about me, Mama had to take nerve pills worrying about me,

other Mamas wouldn't let their daughters date me. The only reason my wife

was allowed to date me was because she was 18 and in college before I met

her. It goes on and on. Life is for LIVING!

I really don't know that I have all that much more weird conditions going on

than many other people, there are others here who have been through all

kinds of health hell too. Three things about me- one is I have " Princess and

the pea syndrome " ; little things bug me and I have to get rid of them; two

is that I am an experimenter- " I gots to know " ; and three is that so many

people have taken their time to type out all kinds of helpful things for me

and I am obligated to pass it on.

But- yes- I do and did have multiple conditions that were driving me nuts.

Sometimes it's like squeezing a balloon. Right now I am really doing great

and seeing a lot of things get better. I've been there before and pronounced

myself nearly cured, but fell backwards, so I don't spout off like that

anymore.

Nope, I really don't think I had Lyme but we do think our youngest daughter

got it and we think we have it under control.

My major problems were a nearly lifelong sinus infection that became totally

antibiotic resistant, turned into a biofilm and went to my heart, and

seemingly separate, several skeletal injuries from my youth that garnered

various infections. Along the way my thyroid nearly shut down and my eyes

got calcified.

Today it will be 90+ and humid and I'll be sharpening mower blades and

mowing knee high Bahia grass all day. I consider it a blessing just to be

able to do it.

Oh and there is some more: I'm a diehard do it yourselfer, a near

perfectionist, and nobody ever tells me something can't be done. I have to

be well, I have to do it myself, and I will nearly spit in a doctor's face

for telling me I can't do it. God help me, I can't stand to be told that

something can't be done.
