Not My Week

Ever had one of those weeks where nothing seems to go right? Mine was last week. On my way home from work on Monday someone rear ended me, bumped me is probably more like it. Thankfully, no one was hurt, I didn't hit the car in front of me, and there was no damage. It really was a blessing. But, let me tell you it scared me half to death. I had no idea it was coming, he claimed his foot slipped off the break... I believed him. This was really the first encounter that I have had with any kind of wreck, and I really didn't know what to do. Do I stay put? Do I pull over? Do I get out? Do I call the police? I mean I just didn't know. They should teach you these things... In the end, I am glad everyone and everything was okay.

So, move along to Tuesday about lunch time I noticed my throat starting to hurt on the right side. I didn't think too much about it. I even went and walked with my mom. By the time I got home, I didn't feel great, but it wasn't terrible. Well, it all changed right before bed. I started feeling terrible, and the fever hit. It was no fun. I don't remember being this miserable in a long time. And I couldn't sleep... I just prayed for 8:00 to come so I could go to the doctor. And if you know me, you know I hate going to the doctor, but I knew something was wrong. When Patrick asked me that morning how I felt, I sad "terrible." He said he knew then it was not good. I drug myself out of bed and to the doctor. I didn't have to wait too long to go back, but then it felt like I was in the room forever. After a confirmed strep test, a shot, and prescription, I was on my way. The next two days were no fun. I don't remember feeling so bad in a long time. Fever with not being able to swallow=no fun.

Patrick was such a trooper, although he wouldn't get near me. But, who can blame him, you should have seen my throat.  I am glad to finally be feeling better. Now, I just need to get ride of my "smoker's" cough.

Thankful for a new week because last week was sure not my week!


***And if could please pray for Lauren and Patrick Hutto and their sweet baby girl Mary Douglas. She was born almost 8 weeks early. Lauren is doing much better and was released from the hospital, but Mary Douglas is still in the NICU. She has done pretty well, but I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers as she continues to grow and get stronger.
