6:39am – Didn’t hurt as bad as I thought I was going to from the trip when I woke up. Able to take a shower without help. Still getting dizzy when I move too fast. Pain level at a 5 right now.
11:00am – Entire back and butt hurt, left hand & elbow hurt, brain foggy feeling, trouble speaking.
Figured out after talking with the Lyons that all my symptoms resemble fibromyalgia.
5:00pm – My back is hurting bad all over… trying not to show it, buy my eyes won’t quit tearing. Sharp pain through middle of chest. Bright lights starting to hurt eyes.
I think this trip is already a bit much on me. Need to stay strong for my son. He needs to go to college. I don’t want him to put his plans on hold because of me. With God’s help, I’ll manage to get through this.
Thankful that we were able to spend time in sweet fellowship with Greg & PJ Lyons, and family before dropping Jakob Smith off at college.
💡I know what stores need to do for customers…they need a checkout lane just for handicapped people. I have to use a wheelchair when I go to the store. Walking too much causes too much pain and I tire quite easily.

It’s official! Jakob is beginning his college days. The family is on an emotional roller coaster right now, but we have peace that he’s where God wants him.
P.S. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard. God’s got this! We love you, Bubba ( Jakob).
6:39am – Woke up with my heart beating hard and fast, lower back near butt throbbing. Stuffy nose.
7:04am – I was crying this morning (I’m on an emotional roller coaster right now). Joe asked me what was wrong. I told him my heart was hurting.
9:04am – My eyes are hurting & I have a headache.
