Oh no! Hedges can't drink for three weeks! Post sympathy here:
And, before you ask -- Lyme disease. Heavy-duty antibiotics. He's uncomfortable, fatigued, bored off his rocker and lacks Internet access right now.

No DU and no beer make Hedges...something something.

4. Yep...
The boy's spent most of his life in urban/suburban areas, and managed to pick up Lyme Disease sometime in the last few weeks.

Also please post some sympathy for dolo -- she's taking care of him, and I'm sure they're driving each other batty.

10. I've had Lyme twice
If you catch it early enough, you can get rid of it easily with the antibiotics. I was fortunate enough to get it while in Westchester where the Doctors know what it is right away. My Dad had it after visiting us and went back to Wilmington, North Carolina. It was over a week before he was put on the antibiotics.

Well, Hedges, you can always you can always get high.......

I had a fever of 104. I was hallucinating. I had some joint pain, but not severe. My son got the bulls eye rash, so we put him on the antibiotics, and he developed no further symptoms.

Deer Ticks are so small.........

11. There are a bunch of ladies from a neighboring town
who all came down with Lyme disease one summer. The only thing they found that eradicated their symptoms entirely was drinking Tahitian Noni Juice daily. It's a lot pricier than beer though.

Hope he caught it in time so as to not experience any long term repercussions.

12. had to quit drinking completely in 1991
haven't had a drink since. Sheer force of will.


the first two weeks are hardest. Don't hang out with old drinking buddies, because habits die hard.

then, after you're better, drink up!

15. I got to see his rash...
And yes, hats off to dolo for not killing him sooner. Dolo and hedges are communicating to each other via cell phone throughout the house. It's the greatest case of cell phone abuse I have ever seen.


Get well, hedges! :toast: oops...

17. I'm probably going to pop in for a hedgevisit sometime after work.
If I don't forget by day's end, I'll print this thread out so he can read everyone's well-wishes. I've no doubt he'll be grateful for everyone's sympathy - he's pretty much immobile, and bored beyond belief.
