Leslie, my son was bitten by a tick last summer. It took them some time to figure it out. He was looked at by local doctors and of course this is Hicksville as far as healthcare. They finally sent him to one of the best hospitals in Missouri and he was diagnosed. By that time,the infection had eaten into the bones in his neck and he had to have surgery to clean that out,and they had to put plates in. He was very ill and nearly died. After he was sent home he was on an antibiotic drip twice a day for 6 weeks. It was a horrible time for all of us,and I still get shaky thinking how close to death he was. Those ticks can be dangerous!!!!

Picture...we need a picture... Maybe we could figure out how it was made. patti

It does make it a little better to swallow when they let us know and are humorous about it, don't you think? I thought it was my ISP at first, as that is usually what it is. My ISP is pretty slow though with other sites this AM, thus making GW really crawl. Hopefully all will be fixed soon as it is raining and I don't want to do any of my rainy day chores.r

If that guy has an ounce of insight, he is kicking himself for such a stupid comment. It is always interesting what can pop out of people's mouths. And yes, great story. 😁
