April 25
early this am before he went to work Joe rubbed my back. Felt good because my muscles have been twitching/spasming randomly for several hours.
7:00a- I’m freezing. Rt hip throbbing like toothache. Neck hurts. Eyes watery. Throat hurts a little. Rt arm numb when I woke. Upper back hurts.
ā Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psalms 57:1
Interesting this was my first verse in Bible reading this morning.
906a My Grandma has been teaching my Mom, daughter, and I how to quilt while she has been visiting. She still quilts by hand!
It takes me a little over an hour to hand stitch this square – that’s just the inner and outer circle til my hands and wrists are too swollen and painful to do any more.
3:00- went to Mom’s to help on quilt for a bit. Neck throbbing. Rt hand swelling.
4:28- Neck very painful throb. Upper back hurts. Muscles tense and spazing randomly. Thunderstorm. Laying down in “safe place”. Headache. Bright lights bother eyes. Hands swollen and hurting. Charging phone in case power goes out.
7:15p- last hymn before offeratory I flubbed up big time. I forgot how the tune went so I started playing a different tempo. Ugh! Don’t know where that came from. So embarrassed! At least my church family has been supportive.
Rt hip throbbing. Neck throbbing.
10:30p- eyes burning and watery, calves throbbing, body aches, neck throbbing, hands swollen and achy, feet cold
April 26
9:00a- woke around 7:30a but I hurt so bad all over that even my eyelashes hurt!
1216p – Tried to express a concern at Sam’s Club regarding having to chase wheelchair down at customer service desk instead of them being at front door. (Today is a high pain day for me) Lady tells me I have to call corporate office to complain.
Businesses only think about bottom dollar not customer courtesy. If they want disabled people’s money, they better include them too.
It was suggested that Iā¦”This is completely unacceptable and flies in the face of the Americans with Disabilities Act!!! You better not contact their HQ…you better contact the US DOJ! This will get their attention faster than anything else! Ada.complaint@usdoj.gov – phone 800-514-0301″
1:00p- ate lunch at Sam’s. Frustrated because we had to chase down a wheelchair. Tried to express concern at service desk. Lady tells me to call home office to complain. Ugh!
1:35p- heading to optical place the clutch goes out again. Have to wait for tow truck. Ugh! Able to call my dad to come pick kids and I up while Joe waits with car. I got my new glasses finally.
5:25p- dinner at parents. My Grandma tells story of when she was 5. My great grandpa traded his 3 shot guns for boxcar lumber to build a one room house with no plumbing and no electricity for mom, dad, and 6 kids at the time (June, Donna, Ralph, Roger, Bernard, Evelyn) [Betty, Billy, Edward, Margaret, Elaine]
7:00p- I’m exhausted and hurting. Sitting with heating pad on back.Ā
10:23p- I was hoping the most painful days were behind me. Apparently not. I hurt all over. Center of chest throbbing !!!
