The Tick got me

Was going to go to Disney on my Birthday (free admission) but we were under Tornado warnings and watch so cancelled that idea. Instead I went to The Palatka dance with Patti. It was a very quiet Birthday.Today is Thursday and Amy and Jason Vanderwark and their two girls are coming for a couple of days.I was hauling some stuff from out back this am for the trash to try to clean up that area some. When I took my shower I noticed a big black and blue area on the back of my thigh. When I touched it there was something hard so I pulled it out. It was a critter. I called my Dr. and they said to go to the Er. I went to the Flagler hospt. and they checked to be sure the critter's head had not been left behind. They said to watch the area for any reddness, wash it with soap and water and nesporin and gave me 2 antibiotic pills.They think I got it quickly and shouldn't have any trouble.
