I will do my best to be brief but I feel this is important for you to truly appreciate the place I was in when I met her…
I have been a health fanatic and competitive athlete most of my life. I recognized that this level of passion and thirst for knowledge on the subject wasn’t for everyone, it just made me feel so good and that was my motivation.

In the summer of 2006, I was heavily into my organic gardening in Wisconsin when I was bit twice on my leg by a deer fly. If you’ve ever been bitten, you know they have big teeth.

A day or so later, I woke up with an intense heat on the back of my knee joint and it was stiff and sore. I thought it was a spider bite, possibly a brown recluse because of the reaction I was having.  The swelling continued getting worse for days and finally red lines were tracking into my groin. Very weird and I had no real idea what it was. I went to the emergency room (I’ve not had much use for a doctor) they said I had some kind of infection of which the name eludes me now and they gave me antibiotics.
It worked.
