8:15a- Joe woke me up at 7am.  My feet and lower legs hurt to walk on.  Lower back hurts.  I feel odd…somethings not right but don’t know what, rt hip hurts.

3:10pm- Today we celebrate our second anniversary as the Pastor’s family at our church. Appreciated the show of love received today. It is a blessing being the Pastor & Pastor’s wife. Their generosity, servant’s hearts, inviting their friends & family, and willingness to accept us for who we are is encouraging. We love our people and are excited to see how the Lord will work in the years ahead.

P.S. Today is my spiritual birthday as well.  🙂

Joe woke me at 7.  Didn’t sleep well.  Had dream I got electrocuted again and woke myself up yelling “NO!”  Upper back aches, low back hurts, hands ache, slight headache.  Still have trouble focusing on one task at a time.  Took me 2+ hours to order Sunday School material.

3:30p-  messed up our deposit bc I forgot to add in second check.  Took Dezirae to her last home volleyball game.  *the simplest chores have become difficult tasks to complete.

10:24p- I’m exhausted and really hurting.  Half way through I could feel all my nerves tingling.  Took a naproxen.

10:00a- one of the cysts on head popped today…only been using frankincense oil

12:00p- Naproxen not touching pain, neurologist apt today.  Slight temp 100.6  Bp153/105 hr 85 weight 188 (I’ve lost 8lbs, yeah!)  Dr signed disability placard app for long term.  Loved my notes…suggested I consider becoming a nurse when I get better…his nurses don’t take as good of notes.

5:00p- I’m flat out exhausted…going to rest a while.

7:00p- Joe treated us to  subway for dinner bc it was national sandwich day.  I enjoyed not cooking.

9:05pm- I had follow up apt with the Neurologist today for my lightning strike injuries. Dr. is pleasantly surprised that the supplements I’m taking are helping. Making small improvements, but still going to be a long road to recovery. I still have chronic pain, and regular headaches. I’m still waiting for them to schedule my brain MRI. Taking it one day at a time, but slowly moving forward.

Thank you for all those who have been praying. I know they are working. Please keep them coming.

Thankful for God’s faithfulness. 
Lamentations 3:22-23
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

11:20p- I’m tired, but not sleepy.  My legs still tightly ache.  Headache gone at moment.

7:16p – I have a bad headache!  Had to prep ASL Classes today.  Couldn’t remember what lesson I taught last in ASL1…had to ask Marybeth.
