Robbie, your blunt honesty and realism and clarity of mind I find refreshing.
I find it hard to relate to many of them, but I suppose we all have different ways of trying to cope.
I can totally relate to this post and I share your sentiments. It's amazing how far we have come in technology in the past 30 years, but we have made zero progress and actually regressed when it comes to fighting a disease that comes from a bug. It seems so simple, how could doctors and scientists have no idea how to deal with this or even acknowledge it's existence, but it has transformed our lives.
I don't think it's at all funny that you keep replaying in your mind how you were infected and what you should have done differently. I too replay it in my mind over and over like a scene from a movie that I wish was just a bad dream I could wake up from. I just wish it would've rained that day or I would have just went to the gym instead of walking my dog. I was an outdoorsman who loved going deep into the woods, so we are different there, but I too know exactly the day and moment I became infected over a year ago, and it is very depressing as it now is a very sad window into my past life of when I was healthy and it is fading further and further into my past.
What a sad and unbelievable reality we face, all because of a bug. We all knew about
black widows and brown recluse, but who would've thought a couple itchy tick bites could destroy life as we knew it. I feel your pain Robbie and hope somehow some way some day, we can find our way back.
