Well to those of you who had been reading my previous posts, you know that I’ve had a bit of a bug crisis as of late.  I couldn’t figure it out but every morning I was waking up with what appeared to be bug bites… 

First I scrubbed my carpets, my bedding, pretty much everything washable in my bedroom.  When that didn’t work, I took Layla to the vet just in case I’d missed fleas or something that might be getting me too.  That wasn’t it.  The bites turned into a rash, and then yesterday, the rash turned into a bruise that covered my entire torso and itched like crazy.  I FINALLY decided to check into my health cause something just wasn’t right. 

On Friday, my neck got REALLY stiff…  I mean to a point that I couldn’t turn my head and the following day my left hand was numb and has been since.  So last night after things calmed down at work, I went to webmd.com to check this out.  What did it tell me to do?  Go to the ER immediately.  Well, I didn’t really want to do that…  I had just worked all day and I happen to know everyone in all of the ER’s within a 50 mile radius of where I live due to my job so I’m really in no hurry to be seen in one…

I did, however, go to my doctor right away this morning and he thinks that I was bit by something while camping in Gettysburg area about a month ago and now I’m either having an allergic reaction to the bite or I have an infection.  I had to get blood work, including testing for Lyme disease and now I have to wait for those results… 

Bah.  I guess I wasn’t delusional after all…
