Alive & WELL!

Hello all! Wow. I am alive. Thank you, Lord!

Last week was a bit of a roller coaster. I went home late Monday afternoon with strep, to catch you up. I had strep until late Thursday. In the mean time, the "strep throat" part wasn't the biggest of my worries. It was the rash that came with it. My body was covered in red, itchy bumps. They began to travel on my body and get even bigger as they did that.

The rash subsided yesterday (finally). I am happy to say that there is only a little bit left on my arms. Sooooo my point being, go to the doctor if you're feeling sick and take care of yourself! I was lucky to have recovered in the fast amount of time that I did.
