So my eyes all fuged up and I might have lyme disease

My eye started hurting on Thursday and started getting red on the inside corner on Friday, by yesterday it was entirely red.

 

 

So this morning, it's all fuged up still, hurting worse, and slightly dilated. So I decide to break down and go to the doctor, thinking it might be some sort of pinkeye, even though there's no discharge and it doesn't itch - just hurts.

 

 

So my primary care doesn't know what it is, other than that it's not pinkeye, so they refer me to an opthamologist as an emergency referral. Turns out that it's Uveiris/Irisitis, which is basically an inflammation of the Iris, the colored part of your eye, but based on my description recent events, they have no idea why I have it. So she gives me a website link and tells me to go over the rather extensive potential list of connected conditions to see if any of them might be a possibility.

 

Well turns out that lyme disease is one, and I did get bit by two ticks last week. One right next to my dick, nothing really major there, and one on the inside of my thigh. The one on my thigh left a red itchy spot that spread to about the size of a silver dollar, but faded after about a week. Since it faded and didn't get the "bulls -eye" type indicator marking, it also didn't grow in size like lyme disease usually does (up to 6 inches across), I just shrugged it off.

 

So I called the opthamologist back and they are going to bring me back in for blood work on wednesday.

 

Fun.

Sorry bout your one eye but this line was funny although probably unintentional from your post above.

 

Really your doc more or less sent you to webmd to research stuff.  sounds like anyways.

Well, sorta kinda. There's literally a list of about 60 things that can be associated with this condition, although 90% of the time it's just an isolated event. So rather than go over them one by one, especially since from what I had told her none of them seemed to coincide, she just had me look over them to see if anything caught my eye.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
