Lisa's thoughts about Love, Life, Lyme, and Liver disease

I know - I lied - my previous post said I wouldn't be blogging for a while.  Oh well - let's just say the more I learn, the more anxious I become.  When my mind is spinning at night with all the information, putting pen to paper (fingers to keyboard), helps me to put things in proper perspective.   When I am drafting these blogs, I feel like I word vomit and spill out all my feelings, medical information, and frustration with the establishment.  I usually laugh when I re-read the initial draft.  It is then that I take the time to stay focused on the positive and all the things that we can control.
