Better now then in Korea

Well, its been quite an eventful week. I was thinking it would be somewhat busy...mostly relaxing/visiting with family..until the big day when I am off for a year. I went to my sister Cindys for the weekend, to visit my two nephews Curtis and Aaron. And by the end of the weekend I had strep throat...bad news!! I was in denial for the first day, and after a very sleepless pain filled night, I gave in and went to a walk in clinic. TWO hours later, I was given some drugs..and on my way. THEN the horrible part. The pain was getting worse..I was feeling sick, and sleeping all day...I looked in the mirror at my throat..is this is simliar to what I saw...warning...its just gross!!!












My sister Cindy googled this on the internet, and had me booked into surgery by the weekend. Apparently when that ball at the back of your throat attaches to your tonsils...its not a good thing. I was almost panicing thinking that I am leaving the country in less then two weeks, and the last thing I need is surgery!! Luckily I am going to live, and my sisters short lived medical career has been put to rest! Turns out this is one of the many charming side effects of strep throat!!
