6:32p doing too much today. Can feel my face turning red. Walmart doesn’t have enough wheelchairs. Managed to walk behind buggy but it was a bit much. I hurt all over. Headache. Skin is flushing. Chilling sensation at base of neck. Hands swollen. Brain foggy. Face hurts. Need to rest quite a while.
Sipping peppermint tea to help with easing pain.
8:00p so congested and face hurts. Decided to do nasal cleanse. Now my nasal passages and eyes are burning!!!!
9.24p It’s funny when your son actually asks for coal for Christmas (not because he was naughty). LOL!

12:26a still wide awake. Left leg muscles cramping. Neck hurts. Toes cold. Just read disheartening email that Jordon’s basketball season has been cancelled. He’s gonna be heartbroken. I just wanna cry that’s the biggest reason we chose that co-op. I’ll have to have Joe call to see what’s up.
11:45a – attended funeral today. Met another person that was struck by lightning (Pastor Williams). I knew he looked familiar but not know why. He was Pastor in Ocala Fl while my Dad was in Dunnellon, Fl. He was struck while talking on phone (Shockley).
1:04p unexpected stinging sharp pain in lip like it was being tazzed. Ugh!
6:15p wasn’t feeling well at store. Had to lay down for a while ended up sleeping for about 2 hours
7:00p decided to string popcorn for tree tonight…tree needs to be finished. Only able to get bout dozen pieces on before back started throbbing and stinging. Dezirae took over for a while.
10:30 decided to clean up kitchen a little and work on blog. Back began feeling icy. Rt ear hurts. Sniffles. Headache. Legs cramping. Face hurts. Taking antibiotics for sinus infection – not that I really want to but I do want to feel better than I have been. Tired but still awake.
Dec 12
6:30a – woke but don’t want to get up or out from under covers. I’m freezing!
Hands swollen and achy. Eyes blurry. Toes freezing. Legs cramping. Loud noises bothersome. Bright lights bothersome. I carry sunglasses everywhere now to give eyes a break.
10:53a – at Dr with son for blackout episodes. Bp fine. Temp fine. Did EKG. EKG looks gorgeous. Bloodwork.
11:12a- center of chest hurting. Lights bright & bothersome.
*Nurse’s aunt was struck by lightning several years ago. She has no lasting side effects.
Referral for MRI & echocardiogram. Referral apt to pediatric cardiologist.
That’s enough to wear anyone out. He has to limit sports activity & no driving. Bummer.
7:00p – made batch of Grinch Christmas cookies. We were invited to friends home for lunch after The Nutcracker on Friday. I’m looking forward to it.
10:00p- ‘twas gonna diffuse lavendar, but cord to diffuser missing. Made kids help look for it – after a few moments told them to go to bed and we’ll look for it in morning. I can feel my nerves tensing bc I’m upset not being able to use diffuser. Ugh!
Gonna use pain roller blend on chest. Back is throbbing too.
10:36p – I’m a hurting for sure too much activity today. Center of chest throbbing. Hands swollen and achy. Neck hurts to move. I’ve taken my pain rx (thankfully I have a spare in purse bc I’m not sure where script is I just got filled…strange) & melatonin. Hopefully it’ll help me go to sleep. I think to myself though I may be suffering so there are others worse off than me. Haven’t done much research lately. My schedule is all out of whack and it’s throwing me off.
I think to myself I see eyes of blue and red roses too what a wonderful world. Thank you Lord for another day. Please heal my son. My heart bleeds for him as he is so disappointed in not being able to play basketball this year. I just want to cry for him. Thank you Lord for directing our paths even when we don’t understand what’s going on.
