I used to count how many miles I could ride a bike, run or hike. Now I count how many pills I can get down each day. Being an athlete and a yogi prepared me for this. Two years ago to this day, I took my first antibiotic and began treatment for Lyme disease with trepidation. This is the longest endurance event I’ve ever done. I’ve made huge gains, but I still have a long way to go. As hard as this is, I'm happy with the progress.
After today, I’ve been given a 3 week rest from IV medication. I feel like school’s been let out! What a gift! After 9 months of IVs, my body is thrashed and needs a break badly. Now the question is: what to do with all that time now that I’m not plugged into a ball and chain twice per day?
Laundry. Medical Bills. Laundry. Clean the oven. Laundry. Orange is the New Black. Laundry. That should fill up 3 weeks easily. Maybe I could take the dogs “off campus” for a good adventure.
I’m looking forward to my vacation! I’m so grateful to my Lyme disease Dream Team.
We hope your vacation gives you not only some free time but some feeling better time too.
Take care.
