7:14pm- I’m thankful that I am now able to carry a basket of laundry without it wreaking havoc on my muscles. Still have a ways to go, but any improvement is good news.
Thankful for the Lord’s mercies because they are new every morning…Lamentations 3:22-23

10:08pm – Waiting for my husband to bring me a nice boquet to put in my freezer. (He’s out hunting right today)

7:30 – woke up with headache, and a little achy all over

5:00 – rough day…working on grade for 1^st quarter report cards.  All this extra reading & thinking giving me migraine.  Had to stop for a while…took Aleve, ice pack on back of neck, eo’s on neck & temples.  I just want to cry.

10:45 – Slight bloody nose before bed, still have migraine, lights hurt eyes, loud noises bother, touchy.  Joe preoccupied with hunting…fussed at me for not answering all of texts…don’t feel like he cares about me right now and I told him so.  (He does care he just doesn’t know how to help me sometimes. When I have a migraine everything rubs me the wrong way. It’s difficult to keep a kind attitude when you’re hurting so bad). Must rest tomorrow is another day. I must be brave and kind.  Psalm 61:2

 “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2

Started taking a different muscle relaxer a couple of week ago… having nightmares now and wake up with heart beating hard!  I don’t like the side effects.  Muscle spasms are worse when rx wears off.  Called dr to see if I can get a different muscle relaxer.  Dr called in a different subscription – Flexeril.  I know I can take this without too many negative side effects.

7:45a- woke from a horrible dream…kidnapped from my husband, Joe, just before I was due to give birth to our first son by King Philip.  Joe & I had to sneak out to see each other.  I was distraught!!!  Woke up wanting to cry and be consoled by Joe, but already left for work.  I do not like the muscle relaxer – getting off of it.

Whole body aches, hands tingly, rt hip aches a little, tingling in legs, headache, tired.

2:19p- very irritable today, I hurt all over.

10:23- had to have kids help me take sheets off bed & remake when washed and dried.  Dezirae helped me make lasagna.  Jordon helped make his bday cake.  Mom did the garlix bread.  I did salad.

10:25p – Night time supplements: Losartan 50mg – 1 tablet; Plexsus Nerve – 1 caspule; Magnesium 500mg – 1 tablet; Benadryl – 1 tablet; Naproxen 500mg – 1 tablet

7:30a- woke up late..trouble falling asleep to stinging needle feeling in back

10:00a- not very stable on feet, dizzy a little, hands ache, upper back aches, headache, heart beating hard, tried, rt hip hurts, trouble with thoughts and talking

1:54p- taking a nap

3:30p- muscles all over tingly and hurting, hard to move when I hurt like this, took D.E. when I got up – took avout an hour before muscle spams started easing.  Think D.E. & Plexus Nerve helping most.

10:44p – finally going to bed.  Muscles ache all over, slight headache.  Most anything to do takes a lot longer cuz my thought process is slower.  I forget a lot & get confused easily.  Determined to keep moving forward even if I’m just a turtle on the fence.
