5.30 rough night. Trouble getting comfortable. Whole body hurts. Body temperature kept fluctuating off and on all night. Sinuses congested. Extremities tingling stinging off and on. Bad dreams.
5.50 decided to read Bible since I’m having trouble getting back to sleep. Hands keep cramping causing me to lose grip.
6.14 rubbing pain blend into hands
7.00 took cat nap. Maybe if I get up and moving I’ll feel better.
8.30 feeling nauceous…that’s not good. Oh, I need to take my bp rx & vitamins.
10.00 talked with Gerald (Dezirae had to remind me his name). Started drizzling this morning. I asked God to stop the rain for about an hour. About 5 minutes later, the sun started peeking through the clouds and the drizzle stopped. I thanked God. Sooner after a deaf man, Gerald, (Dezirae had to remind me his name) proclaimed, “God is good!” To which I replied, “all the time”. He smiled big and shook head yes.
10.45 not feeling any better. Going to go lay down a bit. Jordon brought me sprite to sip. He’s so sweet.
2.00p decided to look up what will ease nauceousness naturally. Trying ginger capsule.
7.00p tried eating dinner. Chicken too greasy. Taking another ginger capsule.
9.15p I’m exhausted. Going to bed.
Skin itches all over. Not sure why. Rubbed pain essential blend on itchest parts. Took Benadryl to cover rest of it. Sudden sharp pain in lft big toe shooting up foot to ankle…made me jerk. Rt hip & lower back throbbing. Tummy aches. Dry rot (not right word?) Oh socket not hurt today unless crackers got stuck. Whew! I almost itched my lft eye with oils on my hands that was close! Eye itches.
Hope to fall asleep soon. Both ears itch. Palms itch.
Praise! Bro Jerry came home today. Kids got lesson on handwashing their own clothes today. Hope our washer can get fixed soon. Lord, You know the need before it happened.
10.17 legs from waist down throbbing & tingling.
11.00p that moment when you’re feeling lousy and as you get ready for bed you realize that you haven’t taken any of your meds or vitamins all day!
Exhausted. Wore out. Whole body aches. Hands swollen and achy. Sensitive to bright lights & loud sounds. Lft lower leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness. Low back aches. Rt hip hurts. Muscles twitching in lft foot. Headache. Skin itches. Sense of smell sensitive.
Praise dry socket hurting less today. Swishing with peppermint mouthwash is helping tongue.

5.30 woke early. Freezing. Feel yucky. Hands swollen, throbbing, & tingly. Something prodding me to check on ACT info for Jordon. Ugh! I’m a bit behind, but at least we can rectify. Will have to add ACT prep to his studies this semester.
6.30 chose to take shower. Still little nauceous. Wore me out.
7.25 mid back throbbing. Muscles in legs twitching. Headache. Eyes watery. Calves throbbing and burning.
10.20 guess my peripheral vision is still off. Thought I had enough room to get past Mrs. Dawn in class. Scratched my back lft shoulder on metal piece of whiteboard…scratched it ugly. It took all my energy to not cry it hurt so bad! Managed to keep it together after breathing quick prayer under breath asking God to help.
11.00 next hour I found a vacant room to hide in and used that time to rest a bit.
11.50 recvd call from young lady wanting to chat little bit. It was nice.
12.30 made it home. Had Dezirae check my cut. Whew! It’s probably 3-4″ long. Looks like it may have bled slightly.
2.00 took trip to church to finish bulletin board & take food for some of our church people. Rae & I put notes in their seats to surprize them & put their names on their item in the fridge.
4.00 recvd call from Joe that he has to work til 10pm due to coworker being ill. Asked if he needed food. He said yes & sinus headache rx. I sure wasn’t thinking when I asked.
4.25 recvd call from friend to let me know her husband in hospital & she’s still having difficulty recovering from her surgery. Need prayers.
5.00 Repurposed dinner from last night by adding taco meat and more cheese. Rae & I took him dinner. Back home by 6pm. I’m exhausted hurting and need to rest.
7.21 Jakob called to chat. Checking on me since I wasn’t feeling well yday.
9.30 heading to bed. I’m hurting all over, exhausted, and have long day tomorrow. Realized refilling my pill container reminder box that I haven’t taken any pain meds in two days – not because I’m not hurting but bx I forgot to.
10.30 took benadryl. I literally am throbbing from head to toe.
