Morning Homies. 
Kimberlyfamilyfv - It could have been worse, it could have been your family pet. My neighbor, "dried" her cat in the dryer accidentally. He popped in while she went to answer a call, she shut the door and didn't know he was in there. Not pretty.
Oh and welcome to the thread!
Circelli - What a gorgeous bride! And you look beautiful in your dress. Not to often the bridesmaids get such lovely gowns!
Thanks Mac!
The infectious disease doc said no long term affects if it is treated early. How early we caught it I haven't a clue. I didn't have the tell tale bullseye, or even removed a tick for that matter. DH and I were stumped. I had major swelling in my knee a month ago, we figured I injured it somehow, the swelling subsided so we didn't think anything of it. Last week it came back but this time my knee was in so much pain I can't walk. It locked up on me so I can't bend or straighten it. They tested me because we live in a rural area of PA and sure enough I was positive. The treatments are 21 days of antibiotics which cost $4.00 for the treatment, or injections once a day for 3 weeks @ $150 a day.
I choose the $4 treatment. Cheap and no needles. 
Worst part of this whole thing, DH and I are leaving for our trip to Tampa to meet his boss and check out our new digs on Thursday. I'm not looking forward to flying with this knee or hobbling on crutches. We are even heading to the Darkside for dinner at the Hard Rock and to pick up our AP's. Anyone think they have wheelchairs we could rent?

Oh My Goodness........
i feel bad for you.
Lyme disease is not fun.
hoping you will do better real soon.!!
Thanks Mac!

OUCH. Hope the symptoms start going away soon. What are the long-term effects? It's been 20 years since I've read anything about Lyme disease, and I think they've some up with better treatments since then!
