Lightning Strikes Journal Entries 9-10 Feb 2020

Feb 9

06.34 woke with migrane. Lights bothersome. Had nightmare.

Bp 133/88 hr 64. Bp is slightly up.  Feet freezing. Low back hurts. Rt hip aches.

1100a stomach not feeling so good.

Kids came and gave me hugs during hand shaking. Made me feel encouraged.

1130a feeling very sleepy all sudden. Had to take migraine pill to ease headache. Don’t like having to take them.

Worked hard on preparing bulletin and signup sheet. Joe decided to change it up to chili cook off. Ugh! Now gotta change it again.

Forehead hurts where I dropped the dehydrator on my head. It’s bruised. Thankfully it’s not visible.

Enjoyed SS this morning though I was a bit slow. Love when people interact that’s where faith grows.

Still need peace about specific Bible Study to start with ladies. Love coming to church even when I’m down bc it gives me the encouragement to keep pressing for the mark.

My body may bare invisible injuries and chronic pain but my faith gives me the hope I need to keep moving forward.

1.30 feel like I’m about to pass out. Going to lay down a piece to rezt.

0330 odd noise woke me from bad dream. Feel kind of dazed. Whole body aches. Woke to arms and hands numb and stinging tingly

0400 finally feel awake enough to do some things at church (work on archiving 2018 files. Need another box for 2019. Need to find my church keys.)

0600 stinging needle pain in upper back.

1150p decided around 0900p to try to start taking s&s nails off it’s been seven weeks. I’m tired of same nail color. Thought soaking nails with acetone cotton balls and aluminum foil would make it come off easily. Not for me. Had to ask Rae to help me. Took at least two hour to get seven off. I’m tired and want to go to bed.

Frustrated decide to wash few dishes in sink. Forgot how much pain that inflicts on my back and shoulders. Ugh!

 

Feb 10

1230a I am in so much pain!!! Feel like I’m being big baby. Like to tell myself to suck it up and get over it but it’s not that easy. Took pm meds, naproxen, and quarter pill muscle relaxer. Hope pain eases soon so I can get to sleep.

0800 read Joshua 21-24. If we cleave to the Lord and strive to do His commands, He will fight our giants for us. We must be very courageous.

0900 have list of things I want/need to get done. Input grades, finish posting revival info, newsletter, call cpa, make meal list for week.

1000a almost forgot to put dinner in crockpot -Potato Corn Chowder.

1230p decided to work on starting to input grades. Hard to believe 3rd quarter half over already. Took me most of morning to get Rae’s grades written down. Hard to stay focused even with goals for day written down.

Focusing on things of this sort hurt my brain. It not only wears me out mentally and physically, but also makes me dizzy and gives me headache more than normal. I have headache most days but have learned certain vitamins help minimize and make headache tollerable.

0130 didn’t realize the time. Tell kids to eat lunch. I’m not hungry. Mostly thirsty.

0230 talking with mom while waiting for clothes to wash. She told me about some videos she’s been watching and how certain vitamins can cure alot of diseases but the pharma companies don’t want us little people to know about it. Doctoryourself.com is good website with lots of info on natural healing.

0700 all of a sudden feel grouchy. Wore out.

0724 showers still wear me out and make me short of breath. Ugh! Now have bad headache. Brain hurts too.

0800 need to relax a bit my low back is throbbing.

1043 low back throbbing. Rt hip aches. Hands swollen and achy. Legs below knees ache. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness and tingling. Feet tingling. Upper back and shoulders ache and tingly. Bruise on lft forehead itches. Rt groin area hurts like I pulled a muscle. Center chest aches
