March 28
Rae & I decided to help make face masks for local hospitals for the coronavirus pandemic. It took us a bit to figure out how to make them. Mom decided to help us. Together we made 17.
I also had to do the sewing in periods because it hurt my back to sit in hard chair for long periods of time.
By time guys got home it had taken all day to get them made. Thankful that Joe decided to cook the ribs on grill bc I wasn’t up to it.
I was down for rest of night. I’m hurting to almost tears. Whole body aches. Headache. Shoulders, arms, hands?, entire back, rt hip throbbing like toothache. Feet cold. Center of chest aches.
My spirit wants to do more but my body will need to rest a couple days.
March 29
715 woke to burning sensation in legs and feet below knees. Low back throbbing.
921 struggling this morning. Very lethargic feeling. Pushing myself to get going. Feeling bit nauseous.
1000 We had to back up an punt due to the coronavirus. Our church has been meeting only Sunday mornings (we’re a small church), but with new restrictions we are attempting to set up for drive in church this morning. This is all new to us and additional stresses take quite a toll on me post LS.
1030 Bro told me he was realling enjoying the soup I made him though he didn’t know what kind it was. I told him it was homemade cream of mushroom. Said he was able to make three meals out of it and still has more. That really blessed my heart. I’m glad God provides so I can share with those in need.
1230p Service went well. Family pitched in to help set up and everyone pitched in to take it all down. I had to wear earplugs to play the keyboard (ears are sensitive to loud noises) due to having to have it loud enough. We also did services live on Facebook. God gave me grace and though I’m wore out I’m not hurting more than usual right now.
100 Jakob offered to help with lunch. I’m so wore out went and laid down until lunch was ready.
200 back to laying down. Twill take an hour nap and then need to deliver face masks we made for local hospitals
330 took while to fall asleep. Took hour or so nap.
400 Decided to deliver the masks back to Joann’s. Ladies were surprised we were able to make 12 masks out of 1 yard of fabric. Said most are only getting 10. She was even more happy when I told her we were able to add 5 more masks.
530 just as we were getting prepared to head to parent’s house for dinner my nose started bleeding unexpectedly. I really dislike not knowing underlying cause. I haven’t taken Benadryl or naproxen in couple weeks. Bled for about 5 minutes.
900 Jordon helped me transplant the pepper plants and water them. Hopefully this year our garden will be fruitful. Tomato plants are looking good. Cucumbers still look good. I think I also want to try squash but I’ll need another bucket/tote. We’ll see.
1030 low back throbbing. Rt hip throbbing. I’m exhausted and hot. Eyes watery. Mom not feeling good. Praying God’s healing hand upon her. Hands swollen and achy. Lower left leg tourniquet tightening feeling mid calf to ankle. Toes tingly. Skin feels prickly (like you accidentally squeezed stinging nettles plant. Ouch?!). Eyes beginning to feel blurry. Very tired. Stomach feels bloated.
1143 legs burning, nose runny, center chest hurting. Lord please heal Bro Chuck, Pastor Baldwin and others who are sick.
