8:00am – Had rough night. Chest hurt some in middle of night. Periodic ringing in rt ear. Cold – had to wear socks to bed. Woke up with eyes feeling crusty, mild pain, and slight bloody nose.
10:53am – Made breakfast & cut Joe’s hair. I’m sore, tired, and starting to get a headache. Need to rest a while. Made Homemade Bisquick Mix. Right lower back now cramping. Applying heating pad.
8:50pm – Went to Lighthouse tonight so Jakob can say goodbye to his friends. I enjoyed being able to sing. Mrs. Bowser called me a trooper (Had to ask Joe what she meant by that later). I guess it’s good.
During services, a young man behind us was rubbing hymnal on back of pew. I wanted to turn around and tell him to STOP, but I held my peace – not only could I feel the motion in ALL my muscles, but the noise irritating me (like finger nails scratching a blackboard!!!). All my senses seem magnified – noises are extra loud, lights are too bright, I can feel tiniest hair fall on my skin!
Both Mrs. Sanchez’s asked how I really was doing. Told them that I have my good days and my bad days. The hardest part for me in not being able to go like the energizer bunny I was. I just can’t do much without wearing out easily. Older Mrs. Sanchez (her name eludes me at the moment) said, “So you feel like you’re on the backside of the desert?” To which I replied, “Yes. (Didn’t know what she meant until later). Told them I’m claiming Lamentations 3:22-23 “It’s of the Lords mercies that we are not consumed…” For me that is literally! ha-ha.

10:00am – woke up in pain and right foot had sharp pain when I first stepped on it. Got a bit dizzy moving too fast trying to get ready for the trip today.
*We take Jakob to college today. I’m not ready for this let alone being able to wrap my head around all my difficulties right now.
2:03pm – My thighs and lower back are throbbing. Have small headache.
We’re having fun at my expsense (one of my symptoms from recent accident is memory loss).
I told Joe I want that type of snot grass around our church sign (I couldn’t remember what it was called). Dezirae & Joe started cracking up laughing. Dezirae replied, “You mean monkey grass?”
I replied, “Yes. That grass looks like it has snot on the top.”
Joe says, “I’m not laughing with you. I’m laughing at you because that was funny.”
At least, I can heal with humor. 😃
