Last night hubby was talking to a woman whose garden butts up to mine. He was telling her how sick I have been and all the problems and she said her husband was bit by something in the garden as well and not long after I was, and he, too, has been really sick ever since! Now, not that him being sick makes me happy but in a way, it does! If he is having the same problems, then it is NOT in my head, I am NOT crazy and there is a reason why we both are having these problems but what the heck is it? At least I can rest easy knowing it's not Lyme Disease which is what everyone was afraid it might be.
I do know when I got bit, I swelled up and it stayed swollen for about 3 days. It has left a small spot on my face that to look at it, you would think it was just a pimple. I also had a bunch of bites on my scalp that left scabs for weeks. My neighbor's hubby had swelling as well but it sounds like his was even worse!
So why am I writing this here? Perhaps someone else has gone through this and maybe they have some ideas for me (us) on what this could be. Neither of us has any idea what bit us! Our gardens are out in the middle of farm land, in a community garden. Nothing around us but dirt, dirt and more dirt. We are surrounded by sloots (ummm, canals), where we get our water from.
There are quite a few gardens here but I haven't heard of anyone else being bitten or having these problems until last night.
Anyone else ever have this or have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass them my way if so!
Ok, on to the day's freebie!
Can you believe we are already half way through the blog train? I think next time I will take a slower train so I can enjoy the scenery along the way! :o)
I hope you all are enjoying the train ride so far! Thank you for the wonderful comments! They are much appreciated, even just a "thank you"! They all make me smile!

read this page and see if the symptoms are similar....
These are gorgeous pages. I read your medical problems and I am wondering if you have west nile virus where you live? It is from miscuitoe bite (sorry I can't spell this!) I hope that is not what you have as it can be very serious. We have it here in Connecticut USA.
Denise, so sorry to hear about your medical problem. I hate when they can't diagnose something. But if your neighbor has the same symptoms, there must be others in your area who do also. I pray that they will find out soon what it is and that you will be on a quick road to recovery.
Thank you so much for day 3 & 4. So sorry to hear about your bite,hope you arebetter soon. Could it have been a Hobo or Recluse spider?
Thank you :-)
Thank you so much for todays page! Love it! Sure hope you find what caused your medical problems soon - glad (not for him) to hear that your neighbor has it too, at least you know something bit you both.
Thank you for the wonderful gifts. I hope you & your neighbor are feeling better soon. I know how it is when everyone thinks you're crazy, but you're really sick--no fun. Others have already suggested my thoughts--it sounds like brown recluse spider. Do you know if you have them in the Netherlands? My best to you both for a speedy recovery.
