DIAGNOSIS:

YOU LOOK GREAT.

That is Lyme.
When I came to the doctor, shivering, in pain, walking the stick, she looked at me: You look healthy.
Yes. That is Lyme.

Bacterias don't color you green. Alas. Else we would be pitied, taken care of, getting all sorts of medication. But who will treat you when you look like having the Time of Your Life?
And - sorry to say - you are having it.
Never forget the time you got ticked.
Out of the door you are kicked.
With your stick.
Feeling sick.
Wow - and looking Great!
HAPPY TIMES ARE HERE AGAIN.

AS THE BOMB WAS TICKING.

I WAS WORKING.

I had a busy time, had to finish two huge pieces of art, packing 80 pieces for the full-scale exhibition of my life as an artist.
Grand success - 8 pages in the press. My grandchildren in trance - they "had a famous granny".

And time was running out. On opening night I was so ill, my throat burning, me near collapse - so exhausted. I could not take part of the Grand Opening-Night Party. 29 of June 2006. Since then no parties for me --.

I did not know this obscure flue was Lyme-Borreliosis, and bacterias spreading in my nervous system.
