Gloves in the mail

After being bit again (4/20/10) I was almost afraid to garden and still had not planted my favorite flowers. These gloves miraculosly arrived in the mail from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on Friday June 11, 2010. The gloves were enclosed as a symbol of our shared goal of helping patients grow healthier as they overcome their diagnosis of cancer. They were my symbol to start planting and that I have done!! I will buy more flowers in the next few days and keep planting. Thank you Memorial Sloan Kettering for your gift and I will send a gift in the mail to you too!!

Lyme is no joke

It amazes me how SO many people seem to think Lyme is a Joke.... I was talking to a neighbor earlier today.... He said he found a few ticks on his body, was given abx and tested negative, no big deal. He said he thought Lyme was concocted by the drug companies. A doctor I use to work for said he gets bit all the time, removes the ticks and treats himself, no big deal...



For some reason Lyme is not taken as seriously as it should be. I know several people around here that wound up in the hospital and almost died from Lyme .... Check out http://www.lymememorial.org/



There are also many famous people that have or had Lyme... Check out WWW.bada-uk.org/wordpress/?p=284
