Sept 18
8:00a- got to talk to my sister for a while today. Almost lost track of time.
10:00p- I’m exhausted and wore out from today. Co-op, store, home to rest a while (actually took nap), then back to store to grab few things I forgot earlier. Took another nap after dinner.
I’m hurting all over. Hands swollen and achy. Shoulders and back throbbing. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness. Lower back throbbing. Muscles randomly spasming in legs. Feet burning tingling pain. Stomach hurts. Chest center aches. Eyes watery.
Currently resting between exercises. Not sure I’ll be able to finish…starting to fall asleep writing it. Skin itchy. Headache. Forearms ache.
10:35p- icy burning sensation in chest center, burning tingling sensation in upper back, legs, and feet. Head is pounding. Took pain rx shortly ago. Hope it kicks in soon. May have to take muscle relaxer. Don’t like taking them bc they give me nightmares.
11:45p- Took migraine rx to get rid of headache. Headache finally easing. Taking med for sleep.

11:57a- I’m so exhausted and sleepy. No energy. Need nap. Whole body aches. Rt ear ringing. Headache.

4:00p- promised Dezirae to go Walmart to check if they would do online price match online pricing for bookbag she wanted. They did!! PtL! Saved $11 Whoop! Whoop!
Started storming while inside store. Not going out now. It’s thundering & lightning!!!! Trying to stay calm.
Door greeter asked me to please not go out while it’s lightning. Told her not to worry. I won’t bc I was struck by lightning two years ago. She gasped. Asked what happened. She replies I’m so glad you’re okay. I told her I’m alive. It’s left me with lasting side effects. She asked what. Told her nerve damage, brain injury, chronic pain among others but I’m doing my best to work thru it. She tapped me on arm and said, “Bless your heart.”
7:33p- need to remember to bring socks to church. Feet freezing. Jakob went and got my blanket for me. If I allow my feet to stay cold long I get headaches.

Sept 20
7:00a- hit snooze. Feels like I just fell asleep.
7:15a- gotta het up. Need to take Jordon to work.
8:00a- crazy how certain sounds upset me now. Could hear leaf fluttering under the hood. Think I might need ear muffs.
9:00a- decided to make breakfast. Dezirae showed me how to make bird’s in a nest. Pretty neat. Tasted good.
10:30- realized I needed to input grades before I get too far behind. Took me while to figure out what’s what. Gave myself headache. Ugh!
1:13p- I’ve a headache. Center of chest hurting. Neck hurts.
2:17p- chest is really hurting causing lft eye to tear up. Took rx.
I’m beginning to think something else going on because it’s never taken me this long to get over the Costocondritis before. It’s frustrating being limited in physical activity. Makes me feel lazy but when I give in to the guilt I end up hurting myself worse. Ugh!
2:30p- went to Buccees to get deer corn and lunch. Too crowded and too many noises. Had to find a slower corner to calm the spirit.
Hunger started to kick in so headed towards food section. Head is swimming. Too many senses swirling around in head (noises, colors, sounds, scents, etc.). Saw a lady trip over her own feet and thought I was falling reached out to grab Joe’s arm. He looked at me funny and then I realized it wasn’t me.
3:30p- entire upper chest stinging!!! I do not like stinging pain. Sam I am.
4:00p- why do people have to play their bass so loud? It hurts my whole body!!!!
4:15p- bloody nose unexpected. No notice. Wish I could figure out the cause.
6:12p- stinging finally stopped but it feels like a thumb hit by a hammer.
8:37p- chest still throbbing. Feet freezing.
11:24p- so tired of hurting. Took pain rx & muscle relaxer.
