You are not wasting our time, Sinking. We care deeply about you. This is evening for me so I'll just leave a brief message and plan to read your recent postings in more detail tomorrow.

Just want to say, "prickets" is a new term for me! Every day you learn something new, yes? My husband and I looked it up and say the definition and pictures on the iPhone, finding that it is a 2-year-old male fallow deer with single horns on each side. It must have been wonderful to see them running down the street. Do you live in an area where there is a lot of wildlife?

I'm glad your bloodwork turned out OK; sounds like they ruled out Lyme's Disease from the tick. But I can understand that you might have wanted a little more explanation for why you felt so sick. Take care, and sleep well.
