Surprise !!!

Sorry for the delay in posting, traveling has been very busy.  We left Pennsylvania and headed to New Jersey for 5 days to visit some friends, John, Linda and their two boys Jonathan and Christopher.  We had a great time hanging out with them and catching up since we haven't seen them in years.  John and Tom have been friends since elementary school in Phoenix.  While we were visiting with them I got a little itchy and Tom got some headaches.  Concerned about Lyme Disease because our tick fiasco and on the advise of experts John and Linda who have been dealing with this disease for years we decided to get tested on our way North.

Driving North through Connecticut we found an Urgent care so we parked in a Wal Mart while we went to the doctor.  Since we had difficulty with reservations for the Memorial Day weekend we spent those days parked in Wal Mart parking lots anyway.  Yes we were Wal Maritans for a few days.   The doctor took our blood and tested it saying he would have results in a few days but it seemed to be a little soon and he didn't think we would have a problem so we headed to Massachusetts to visit some friends.

Surprise we did, while leaving Massachusetts Tom got the call that he had some positive band show up on him.  Me I am fine everything was negative.  Now Tom is on a 30 day dose of antibiotics and then needs to be tested again.  Strange, I had 11 ticks and he only had one.  Guess it's true what they say, it only takes one.
