Tonsilitis and a long journey home

Well a good week back in London, Monday morning I wake up with a sore throat! Great- tuesday wake up and feel even worse, sore throat, neck, glands up so I decided I didn't think i'd manage a day at the day centre. Spent until 5 in bed- don't think i've ever quite done this before. Late on Tuesday night I found my torch- looked in my throat and decided perhaps I ought to see a doctor. SO I found a local Dr on NHS direct website and phoned them yesterday morning. Went and saw the Dr, he took one look told me to close my mouth, not to speak and gave me some strong antibiotics. Apparently I am highly contagious. He said I'll give you a sick note- didn't think that was neccessary but suffice it to say I am off ill. Working with people who are vulnerable means they are probably even more seceptable to illness!
When I spoke to Mum she said it'd make sense to be at home. So yesterday evening- once the trains are usually quieter from Kings Cross to Cambridge, I went to get a train to discover there was signal failure at Kings Cross. So people were being sent to Liverpool St- great apart from the Underground was so overcrowded the police had closed it off. Didn't feel like the underground and thought well if need be I can go home tommorow. Trains eventually started again, but only 3 trains coming in per hour. They couldn't guarantee when another train would go to Cambridge- if it would even be last night. So after 2 1/2 hours of waiting I rang Mum and Dad and agreed if I got to Stevenage they'd fetch me from there! Thank God for parents like mine! 4 1/2 hours it took from leaving my room to getting home! On a journey I can usually do in an hour.
So am home now, drugged up and resting. Don't know whether my voice has improved from yesterday- no one to talk to at present. So it maybe a quiet household again tonight! Am hoping when Mum gets home from work She will make me some triffle! A regular food for when I have tonsilitis! This bout of tonsilitis is my second since November. Its crazy I've had more time off between November and now than in my entire degree.

One of the questions asked often in theological training is where is God in all this... currently thinking on where God was in all the chaos of last night! Will blog about it soon.
