Sunday was a wonderful day of church followed by dinner with our ministry team, great fellowship, and then the short drive home. Before we reached the house, I told my husband, "My throat hurts." It was a sudden pain and within an hour, I had white infection in my throat. From previous experience, I knew instantly it was strep throat. The pain kept me from sleeping and as soon as the sun rose, I went to my doctor's office and was sent to urgent care. When I saw the urgent care doctor, I told her I needed a Penicillin shot and a round of oral Penicillin. She refused to give it to me saying she had to wait for the culture and sent me back home with a different antibiotic. The next morning, after another sleepless night, fever, pain, and six doses of the "other" antibiotic, my husband called my doctor and said, "She's coming in, be ready." When I arrived at my doctor's office, they took me in, gave me a Penicillin shot, and a prescription of 500 mg Penicillin four times a day. After four nights of fever and discomfort, I finally got relief and the infection disappeared. I'm sure if I would have been given Penicillin on the first trip to the doctor, I would not have developed such a severe case of strep. It was the most severe case I have ever had and and I would never wish it on anyone.

Thank you so much for your prayers, thoughts, and concern.

freeWAY was scheduled to sing in Stockton this past weekend at To The Chief Musician Music Conference. I wanted to go and knew I probably shouldn't, but my sister drove me up the day of the performance. The boys were fantastic! They have already been invited back for next year's conference. I slept late in the hotel bed the next morning and, although feeling weak, I feel much better. I'm a survivor! :)

P.S. As soon as someone downloads it, I will share the video of freeWAY singing a patriotic song.
