Sick

It hit me yesterday about two minutes before our second Worship Experience started. Really bad cramps in my gut and horrific nausea. I was able to dump my microphone and my notes onto Pastor Dean's lap with an apology and I went straight to the bathroom...where I remained for around 30 minutes. After that great adventure, I went to the car to wait for the family and to cramp up until we left. On the way home, I expressed my concern that if I'm sick (my wife and daughter had both experienced this illness) then I'll miss my surgery on Wednesday. But my wife had a plan. A home remedy from our friends at Young Living Family Farm. Since I didn't have the proper essential oil at home, I was to go to the store and get a garlic bulb. We did that on the way home, then I was told to eat one clove every two hours from then until bedtime. For some folk this may be difficult, but I really love garlic, so I made a garlic cheese bread, hit it in the oven only long enough to melt the cheese, but the garlic was still raw and I proceeded to eat one piece with about 1.5 cloves of garlic on each piece from 1330 until the final chunk at 2130. From the very first piece I felt better. The cramps vanished and I felt mostly better but I ended up dozing on and off the rest of the day while sucking down garlic and breath assures until this morning...when I feel normal. Amazing remedy and it seemed to work for me!
