What Exactly is Rock Bottom?


Okay, I am not really sure how much further down we can or have to go until things start to change, and we can begin climbing back up the hill.  My husbands nasel surgery was last week, and we were hoping to have the shunts removed today, only they weren't, no instead additional packing was placed in the nose, due to the septum was still leaning a bit too far over, so needless to say, he is a bit misrable, and I can't imagine the feeling that having huge amounts of packing material placed up the nose feels like.  I know that it looks like a tampon has been placed up his nose

Now if that wasn't enough, I had gone to the doctors last week to have blood drawn, because I have been feeling extremely sore, and have been experiencing a lot of pain over the last several months, and now it's to the point where I can no longer manage the pain.  I have no explaination for the pain aside from a slight tear in my rotator cuff, and tendonitis in the shoulder.  However it doesn't explain the other pains that I have been experiencing throughout the rest of my body. 

The phone call came today... I have Lyme Disease.  Which may explain the anxiety, and depression, the painful joints, not being able to move my fingers, and chest pains.  I am now currently on antibiotics for the next month. 

So it now goes something like this:
Both girls have surgery in November, my husband and I separate in January, get back together in February, girls have another surgery in February, we have a house fire in March, then a Flood as well a week later, April was spent dealing with contractors, and cleaners, AND adjusters. May brought surgery for my husband, and now Lyme Disease, and a tear in my rotator cuff.  Ummm, I think I can see the bottom now, maybe it's about time we start getting a foot hold once again, and climb up instead of falling down.  Oh, I almost forgot, my truck despartely needs new tires,  and I have to deal with Verizon this week.  Maybe I should play the lottery soon, our luck HAS to change, doesn't it?  I'm hoping June will be a better month...

How long have you had LD symptoms? What abx are you on? I can't believe you got a positive test!! That's so, so, SO hard to get.

All I can say is WOW. You guys must be in for some serious good karma because all this negative stuff is enough to bring a person waaaaay down.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family-If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding Lyme, do not hesitate to email me! If I can't answer your questions, I have dozens of other Lymies who can!
