0700 think I hurt worse today. Strange dream turned frightening until I pressed panic button on key faub. Police arrived and I was safe. It hurts to move. Whole body hurts. Nerves everywhere tingling. So tired.
1230 taking Jordon to Dr. Low back throbbing and I’m tired.
Jordon impressed Dr with his injury that she had two other people come look at it and the x-ray. It’s gross to me. Had her show me how to clean and wrap it. She wants it immobile. Shared Joshua 1:9 with nurse.
Referring to hand specialist. Nurse got us in right away.
200 Ortho apt at 2.15. Rt hip throbbing burning. Vision starting to blur with all the paperwork I had to fill out.
0300 finally in room. Girl had Jordon take bandage off. Waiting for Dr. Frustrated. Girl asked questions she should’ve known answer to if she would’ve read paperwork I just filled out.
0530 Dr is concerned with possible infection right now. Jordon is being referred to hand specialist next Wednesday to check the nail bed for possible surgery to close gap in nail bed.
0930 at drs apts most of afternoon for Jordon. Wiped out, exhausted, and hurting all over. Headache. Congested. Bloated – only ate one meal today – ate one plate and still feel stuffed. Going to bed early. Taking extra Vitamin C and Echinacea to keep immunity up. Applied Pain EO rub to chest and neck. Took pain rx.
Vitamin C & Zinc good for wound healing.

“How much vitamin C is an effective therapeutic dose? Dr. Klenner gave up to 300,000 milligrams (mg) per day. Generally, he gave 350 to 700 mg per kilogram body weight per day. That is a lot of Vitamin C.”

1,000 milligrams equals 1 gram
This helps because I never really know how to answer. Though I’m in chronic pain it varies. Today pain is moderately strong to severe at times. I never want to say a 10 because that means I need to go to hospital and I don’t want that if I can avoid it.
