Stuff Done

[cjsmith]

Lyme results sent to my local GP.
Lyme results sent to New York doctor.
Consent-to-treatment form sent to diagnosing doctor.
Minor Web research done; reply on this subject e-mailed to my family.
Appointment set up with diagnosing doctor for day after tomorrow.

I feel like a poser saying this has any emotional impact, because basically, for a 17-year Lyme patient (if indeed that's truly what I am), I'm incredibly healthy. Still, it kinda does.

Think I should do some work related to my job now?

Oh, definitely, I'm not putting myself down for the foot thing... just for being all "Hey LOOK I have LYME and that's a BIG EFFING DEAL" when really for me (except for the feet, connection as yet shaky and unsupported) it hasn't been. Yet the name alone still feels big. I don't know if that's making much sense.

Of course I can't be sure when it started, but I do know when I was and when I was not running around in Lyme-tick-infested woods and pulling multiple ticks per day out of my skin. :-) The Army isn't about to give me any medical benefits on the strength of that, but the circumstantial evidence does kind of lean toward one time frame. It's the best guess I've got.
