6:00a- fell asleep sometime after midnight. Woke up couple hours later with sharp stabbing pain in right side.
8:31a- trouble swallowing pills this morning. Felt like one got stuck in my throat. already starting to get a headache.
1:01a- good meeting this morning. Lots of info to take in. Thankful I was able to take notes and that he repeated himself a lot – at least important keys.
Met with Bro Kilpatrick about a church website. Able to upgrade hosting on my site and purchase new domain vs all new info. Have to compare info.
1:25p- laying down to rest while Joe goes hunting. Exhausted. Upper back muscles starting to sting and burn.
6:30p- asked preacher about our situation. Not sure we asked question right, but he said a man in his church was struck by lightning 6 months ago. He said it mainly messed up the electric wiring in his brain. I said exactly. He asked what % my doctors are telling me that I’ll recover. I told them they haven’t. They really don’t know how to treat me and are just managing my symptoms. Also told him that most of my recovery has been from researching on my own so far.
This confirmed I need new doctor, but where do I look? There are no Dr’s in my area that treat lightning surviors long term. Lord, I need help.
10:29p- made it home safely. I’m exhausted. Right side cramping easily. Muscles in calves randomly twitching. Cold sensation in the center of my back.

Micah 7:7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Thankful that God not only hears and saves when help is needed, but also guides us through the difficulties. It doesn’t take extraordinary abilities. It merely takes faith in God and the willingness to act upon that faith.
