I am going to the doctor

We are going to look into me possibly having some kind of tick borne disease.
The nurse said I actually should have gone to the ER yesterday. I am stubborn, plus Bob had my car.
I had to call him to bring my car back this morning. He had not heard me tell him I needed him to take his truck.
Normally I do not get mad, but I was. He went three hours early to his appointment. Got up and snuck out while I was asleep. He said he did not hear me ask him to take the truck. He brought my van back and took the truck and still was there in plenty of time.
If I had gone to urgent care, I would have seen who ever was available this morning. He did not get back in time for me to do that. I called and talked to the nurse and I will be seeing my regular doctor. And we will be discussing tick fever.
I feel chilly, but have not had a fever. My blood pressure this morning was just where it needed to be. I am getting some body aches though.
Wish me luck it is time to go.

I am glad I saw my regular doctor. I will pick up antibiotics in the morning, plus she had some tests run.

@GardenGerty hope the antibiotics zap it out of your system,

I will pick up antibiotics tomorrow. I get over my frustrations easily. The issue is that he does not always here me, but he acts like he does and I have no clue.

I would rather have an infection than a stroke. That is the first thought people jump to when I talk about my headache.

@GardenGerty It's not an unreasonable assumption to make.

Oh goodness, prayers. When did you get bitten by the tick?

I found one on my leg on May 9, another on my upper arm May 19. I saved both so they could be looked at and wrote the dates down.

I found one tick on me on May 9, and the other one on May 19. I saved the ticks, because I read somewhere that they test the ticks. She said we do not have that ability but ordered some tests.

I hope you get a good report from the doctor and this passes.

That is a shame what Bob did to you. I hope it all works out for you in the end.

I'm glad you saved the ticks. There are so many ticks and fleas this year because of the mild winter. I'm sorry you had the truck/van issue. I know you will keep us updated. Good luck and have a good day.

There are several illnesses carried by ticks. She believes I have some kind of an infection and this is a possibility.
