August 7
Woke up in pain hurting all over. Overslept. Forgot to set alarm. Didn’t finish pt exercises last night bc I fell asleep in middle of them. I was beyond exhausted.
Need to finish planning school lessons. Prepare for church back 2 school party on Saturday. Pay bills. Now husband wants me to put together flier for next month’s event to send to printer in next couple days. I’m stressing out here but trying not to.
2pm- It’s starting to thunder here. Nerves on edge. Senses seem hightened. Made Amish All Purpose Cleaner. Have to let it sit overnight.
3pm- it’s storming. Nerves hurt. Low back throbbing with burning. Hands swollen and achy. Feet hurt. Left heel feels bruise. It hurts when I step. Utterly exhausted! Need to lay down a while.
8pm- excruciating pain in center of chest. Feels caught won’t let loose. Joe lifted me up and spine cracked all way up. Laid on chase lounge with heating pad for over an hour. Took naproxen to reduce inflammation. The pain causing tears to leak out my eyes.
9:40p- Joe helped me up to go to bed. I’m overly exhausted. Hope to sleep it off.

5:30a- woke to cramping in back bad. Feels like I’ve been beat up badly. Neck throbbing. Just want to cry . Don’t know what I did to cause this much pain.
7:27a- attempting to do am pt exercises…only able to do some…too much pain some causeth. Back cramping & throbbing, neck throbbing, headache, rt hip aches, severely congested, arms hurt, feet hurt, lft ear hurts. Think I need thyme tea this morning.
Today is going to be a rest day but thankful I’m alive.
8:50a- just about every move makes my chest and torso hurt worse. Ugh!
Decided to try to balance checkbook and pay bills. Not easy task these days. Finished making the All Purpose Cleaner with Thieves.
10:22- took me almost two hours to figure out mistake I made in checkbook and get it balance. Brain feels blurry and hurts. Vision feels blurred.
12:00- ate lunch – leftovers. First thing I ate today. Not hungry. I hurt so bad all over. Chest pain increaseth. Exhausted. Taking pain rx. Just want to go back to bed.
1:50p- dinner in crockpot (kielbasa, potatoes, green beans, & red beans). Time to lay down a piece. Hopefully, some rest will ease up pain. Sadly if chest pain doesn’t ease I’m gonna need to gp to Dr’s. Sneaky suspicion I may need steroid to ease up the inflammation. Wonder if there’s a natural remedy?
7:23p- rt hip chilling burning pain, it hurt my hands and arms to play piano tonight, lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling and numbish, neck aches, center of chest aches. Realized why I feel chilled in rt hip…my water bottle is behind me. Lol
10:40p- tried to do pm pt exercises. Nope. Made pain increase so I stopped. so wish I could fall asleep as fast as Joe. Big rt toe feeling weird. It’s like electrical pulses are vibrating thru it. Lower left leg just above ankle and down feels numbish and aches, calves ache, buttoxk aches, rt hip throbbing, center of chest hurts, lower back throbbing, headache, neck throbbing, hands ache, tingling sensation traveling randomly in back, eyes hurt. I’m exhausted. Tired to do night pt exercises. Stopped after second one because it increaseth my chest pain. Frustrating! Must rest a few days.
11:50p- upper back stinging and cramping, center of chest hurting worse
August 9
6:50a- almost 1am before I was able to fall asleep. I hurt so bad I don’t want to get up. I dislike when I hurt this bad bc it’s easy to be grumpy and snappish. I don’t want to be that way towards my family bc they already put up with so much. I hurt all over.
9:08a- just had funniest thing to me happen. Got robot call reminding me my rx was ready. I started laughing because I had called on it yday and mentioned I hadn’t gotten call yet. When I started laughing, the computer paused. When I was quiet, the computer would start all over again. It repeated about 5xs or so. I needed the laugh.
2:23p- out running errands. No wheelchairs available at walmart. Walk behind buggy. 3/4 way thru pain too much and pooped out. Sitting on floor to rest so I can finish up. Family sweet enough to run get items still needed. Afraid to see bill. Cold feels good on aching body.
2:30p- started to not feel well…lightheaded & feeling like I’m going to pass out. Few minutes later bottom let loose & it started thunderstorming. Ugh!
Had to sit down for little bit. Decided to chew gum to see if that’ll help. It helped ease the passing out feeling.
3:00p- So we’re stuck inside Wal-Mart for a while & I’m exhausted due to no wheelchairs. Trying to keep calm in between lightning strikes. I’ve already jumped couple times but so didn’t other people.
3:45p- rain let up enough to go to car. Son accidentally dumped cupcakes over messing up 80% of them. Ugh! Think they’ll be salvageable but won’t look that pretty.
4:00p- made it home safe. Able to salvage all but 1 cupcake. Now resting a piece hoping my nerves will calm down from fight or flight mode. Whole body throbbing, nerves in legs jumping, back throbbing, stinging, neck throbbing, headache, upper back stinging, rt side cramping
