7:00a- Wow! I don’t hurt as much as I usually do (slept on different bed it was much softer). Broke another nail in middle of night.
Noticed last couple of days my lft eye is kind of droopy. Yawning a lot too.
9:42- Ate breakfast at waffle house (egg & grit bowl). Used restroom. Having stomach issues. Coughed & it felt like someone punched me in gutt!
10:00a – surprise worked!!! Jakob stunned we came to see him.
11:51a- face feels flushed, head hurts, lights bothering eyes, hands really swollen – had to take ring off ring finger its hurting and cutting off circulation. Toes feel like 1k elephant is stepping on them. Trying not to whince.
11:57 lft collar bone just popped.! Ouch!
3:02p- Took Jakob to lunch…some Habchi place. I got hot green tea! Guys got sushi while I ordered combo fried rice. It was delicious. They take 40% off on sushi so we saved $ too.
Took Jakob to store to get a few items.
4:00p- I’m exhausted and hurting! Need to rest. Starting to get headache. Calves throbbing. Feet ache. Low hurts. Stuttering. Hands swollen and achy.
7:00- finger tips felt weird during service not sure how to explain. College kids invited us to go “hang out” with them at McCallisters after church. It was good time of fellowship.
11:29p- wide awake. Skin starting to feel itchy again. Had blessed day overall. Glad to spend quality time with our son, Jakob.
Had a blessed day making a detour surprise visit to see our son at Tri-State. Tomorrow we continue our journey to Walker Springs for Preacher’s mtg. #thankyouLord

6:00a- finally fell asleep sometime after 1:30am. Just had alarming encounter with a rather large palmeto bug while in bathroom. No shoes to sqwish so I used hair spray and the plunger! Now my nerves are screaming and jumpy. Not fun, but I’m sure it was a funny sight. Arms are cramping. My rght ear aches.
8:00a- took Jakob to BK for quick breakfast. It’s hard eating out when you’re trying to limit your breads and sugars to get rid of thrush.
Sun is bright this morning! Glad we got to see Jakob one more time before we leave.
Fingers and hands throbbing. Swollen too. Thrush has diminished more. Think I have 5 more days of rx. Glad when it will be done – even more thankful if it does it’s job all the way.
Toes ache. Back aching. Lights bright. Tired already. Legs aching.
11:00a- stopped for restroom break. Glad that I had my cane as it kept me from falling. Stepped out of car onto ground I didn’t realize was uneven and slanted. Little shaken but okay.
11:50a- winding country roads are not agreeing with me! They’re making me nervous!! Biting nails kind(not literally). Rt arm is cramping! Feels like a vice is clamping down on it. Nerves on edge.
Landmarks started looking familiar – army reserve, fire station, etc. Joe saw that we were passing through Philadelphia MS!
12:30p- making pit stop in Meridian. My whole body is starting to cramp up. Need to get out and stretch a bit.
1:00p- took 2 tylenol for headache
2:00p- roads so windy they started making me sick to my stomach.
3:00p- Made it to Bro Jeremy’s house. I started getting car sick on way here. Joe is in woods. I’m laying down resting for a bit. I hurt all over. I think if rest a bit I’ll feel better.
6:30p- still have headache. Took tylenol and rx
7:33p- 1st night of preacher’s mtg. Enjoyed being able to sing instead of playing piano. Struggled a bit though. Throat box felt strained.
11:36p- got to talk to all of my kids tonight. Jakob not a child but he’ll always be my boy. Joe burnt popcorn. I thought it was funny. Lol!
Upper chest hurting, calves & lower legs cramping & throbbing, lft hand numb, hands swollen and achy, headache easing. I’m getting tired.
Admin on support page shared a link to an article on Medical Aspects of Lightning Strikes. Good article. Thought it might be helpful in explaining what lightning strike survivors deal with after being struck by lightning. Need to print it for my doctors. Info in the article indicates that my laptop was affected by the lightning strike too!
