Tick!

 I woke up Friday morning with my knee hurting.  I tried to recall as I lay in bed whether I had bumped it the day before, but nothing came to mind.  I finally got up and took a look.  There was a black spot like a blood blister but darker.  When I put on my glasses I realized it was a tiny tick!

I called Dan to get the tick spoon to take it off.  It had been feasting on me all night I imagine. He got it off but all day my knee hurt a bit.



I've had ticks on me before but crawling.  I don't recall one having attached and feeding.

I pray I don't get Lyme Disease as this one was a tiny deer tick.

 I know what to watch out for so all I can do is wait.
