A Blog Post a Day keeps the Doctor. . ???

So today, my LLMD told me that her successful patients don’t spend much time on Lyme sites, chat sites, info sites, support groups, etc.  I may be misunderstanding her, which is darn common for me these days, but until I get well, and because I am. . .okay, so maybe I’m a little obsesssed with Lyme.

What does it mean to take a break from Lyme?  My acupuncturist recommended this to me last week.  My oldest son’s chiro said we were all too focused on the illness.

Here’s what I don’t get.  When you are fighting for your life, what does it look like?  The way I have always done the big “fight for your life” dance is by immersing myself in information.  Obsessing?  Yes.  

Now, how do I take a lyme vacation?  I don’t know.  I can’t take a lyme vacation.  It is always in my awareness.  The pain in my leg, my air hunger, my fatigue, the treatments, the supplements, the meds.  I do know this though:  I haven’t been writing.  My teaching sucks at best.  My writing is non-existent.  Granted, my brain doesn’t work as well as it used to, my organization (in thought and life) is warped at best, but I could still be blogging.  And today, I make a commitment to blogging daily.  Just one blog post.  I’ll start there.  Walk with me?
