Brief Lyme Update #14 *Lyme-tough Me-still have fight in me*

Looking for the Light

457-1_edited-1

I had surgery for a Port, it is required for IV Treatment. I choose IV Therapy because it has a record of healing faster. I can tell already a Port for 9-12 months is no merry-go-round. The surgical area’s not bad. I fell breaking my arm or it was run over by a monster truck before the trip.

The procedure is short, it takes longer to prep than do surgery. A catheter goes into small section of heart, then is brought thru skin to take medicine thru tubing hanging down with blue top. Doctors do the procedure differently.The bandaging stays the entire time and is changed once a week.

This is my basic regimen for those who don’t understand the horrible effects of Lyme IV Therapy. In a future post, I’ll talk about cost of treatment. If you would like to know more leave me a comment, or read all 13 of my Lyme post.  All ticks can carry Lyme, ticks the size of sesame seed to seed of rice. P.S. mosquitoes and flies can also carry Lyme. The best revenge is sunscreen with 20% DEET. If out hiking in pants tuck into socks. Wear light-colored clothes and search like crazy once home, think of a tick that small in your hair.

Basic Regime 

Five Supplements (everyday)

Seven RX pills  (everyday)

10mg Morphine patch (one a week)

M,W& F  Antibiotic Drip 2 times day with 2 shots Heparin

All other days, two bags of lactose for detox with shot of Heparin

Each drip takes about an hour

Blood Test once a week

Fly out-of-state once a month for doctor’s appointment

You can not get bandage wet, sticky saran wrap over bandage, you can shower. If you can do magic tricks. 

I hope seeing a photo and reading the post will help put the two together.

    1. As Vinny says, forget about it. I’m a fighter, lived till age 52,Lyme is not going to bring down. Maybe close to ground. We both have faith everything happens for a reason, if it’s my time, I’m ready for judgement. I believe there is one footprint in the sand now.
      Wasn’t that a lovely photo?
      Have a great weekend.
