Week 23 – Imposed Silence

I’m taking a risk to say this – because I was slammed with a snarky remark previously, but I’ve been sick since Thursday – searing pain in the throat, painful, deep cough, pounding head, etc.  My husband was sick earlier, then I got sick – he left town Friday, and as soon as he drove off, I realized I couldn’t find my phone.  I started to panic a bit, thinking I had left my phone in his car that wouldn’t be back for a week.  I couldn’t call the doctor, or a friend for help if needed, etc.  I felt so bad, I just went to bed.  The next day I felt worse, but I was able to use facebook to shout out to my sons to come home and help.  I received an unexpected outpouring from others – to bring me stuff, to come over and help, etc.  That was nice.  My son did come and started ringing my phone – which was eventually found in a very odd place – and he took me to the urgent care .  Anyway – The phone was missing and after the first few minutes, I didn’t care.  I was trusting God to take care of me, and He did.  It makes me look forward to my two-day unplug that will come up in the next several weeks. and no – I don’t think I “allowed” myself to get sick.  I think bacteria set up shop in my throat – yes-I’ve been under tremendous stress the last four months, and maybe that’s part of why I got sick.  Anyway – crappy post, sorry about that.
