Deer Tick Update!

Tweet

Last night, I had told Hubs that i wanted to ride down to the bottoms with him, when he went to check on the cows and count new babies, as I was hoping to get some nice video. Yes, I felt like crap, but I was hoping the trip would take my mind off things. Yes, I was in my Myrtle Beach night gown. But, I live in the country and can wear my night gown outside at any time of day, as long as I am on my own property. Them's the rules! LOL

Anyway, after shooting video of all the new calves, as I sat there half-mindedly agreeing with hubs on the number of cows he thought he had counted so far ( Shhhh! I never really know for sure. He asks, "Now was that 14 cows I counted up in the mountain pasture?" and I just nod and say, "yeah".), I scratched an itch on the back on my leg, where my thigh meets the knee. I felt a little bump. I looked to find what looked like a tiny mole but what I feared to be another deer tick.. I kept digging and scratching and squeezing. I almost gave up because it was refusing to be removed and so I was pretty positive it was a mole. But I gave it one more try and sure enough, out came a deer tick! The dang thing was DEAD and no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. It was even smaller than the one I found the other day. Now I am pretty sure that it was the one that made me sick as the other one came right off and this one was completely embedded in my leg. I saved it. I am calling the doctor this morning to ask if they would like to have it for testing or something. The place where it was is extremely sore...
