April 7
0500 got up to use restroom. Calves still throbbing. Legs very weak I almost fell. Very wobbly. Whole body hurts.
800 really don’t feel like getting up today. I hurt so much all over and I’m anxious about my Dr apt not bc of the covid19 junk but bc my last apt with her didn’t go well and I had to write a letter and submit lightning strike documentation requesting she be willing to work with me.
Verse pops to mind “Be anxious for nothing”…oops it actually states…”Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” I confess my fault to God and decide I must have faith that God will protect me and He will answer my prayer. I also ask God to help us find hair ties to make the face masks.
936 finally remembered to call bluehost regarding my website renewal. Had difficulty trying to verbalize what I was asking and why. Finally had to explain I’m working thru tbi due to LS 2.5 yrs ago. Guy was very courteous and understanding. Call took over thirty minutes just to ask two questions. Able to renew for two years at discounted price. Thank you, Lord. Please help me to learn what I need to start earning money to help our income and to honor and glorify You.
200 Oh my brain hurts! Been trying to help Rae with music class today to finish up for the year. I also typed up my symptoms & rxs for the Dr apt. So much info swirling in my head.
430 huge praise!!! Dr apt went well. Dr.seemed to have new attitude towards my being LS. She listened and asked questions. Given steroid shot for the costochondritis flair up. Wt 205, temp 98.4, BP 107/77? Glad she left that alone.
Able to run few errands afterwards. Exhausted and hurting by time got home. Had to rest a while. Thankful Rae cooking dinner tonight.
1000p managed to sew couple of face masks for couple of Joe’s co-workers.
1150 got new character trait posted. Back side is very sore where I received shot. Lower back muscles tensing up in hyperdrive as if it was injured all over again. Domino effect causing upper back band shoulders to burn. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling strengthens as does the numbing & tingling in leg & foot. Rt foot & toes tingling ascwel. Hands swollen and throbbing. Neck hurts. Headache. Sinus cavities in face hurt.
Pain rx taken with night meds.

103 pain thru body keeping me awake. If don’t fall asleep soon will have to take something. Homeschool summit online to view tomorrow morning. Hoping steroid kicks in soon too.
450 fell asleep for a couple hours at least. been awake for a while. Must have been moaning bc Joe started gently rubbing my back to help ease the pain. Hurting all over as if rain is coming. I purposely don’t watch weather reports closely bc I refuse to keep myself in state of panic.
500 read Psalm
700 Decided to get up because I can’t go back to sleep. Ugh! Might as well use my time wisely.
800 kids working on research papers for English today. Oh, I wish I could remember half the stuff I learned in HS. I am starting to remember more things since I started taking fish oil again.
1200 face starting to feel heated and flushed like cheeks are on fire . I forgot about this side effect. Hoping it doesn’t last long.
1.30p brain hurts and headache has worsened. Been trying to watch homeschool summit online. Easily distracted. Started trying to figure out next year’s curriculum. Found biblical character trait studies for free. I like free. Value was over $400. Going to use them as morning devotionals before starting the day.
400p from watching/listening to videos it dawned on me that it’s my responsibility to teach our children the biblical character and principles to be instilled in our children. The atmosphere in the home emulates from my attitude. That’s a big responsibility.
500 Jordon made dinner tonight. That was nice. So glad my kids are old enough to help more around house.
730 took cat nap in my chair.
1100 went to bed at same time Joe did tonight just to be near him. He talked my ear off until he fell asleep. I enjoyed it tonight. Some days I miss him more than others. Today was one of those days.
Whole body deeply aches. Headache. Low back throbbing. Exhausted.
April 9
0900 whole body throbbing. It hurts to move. Mouth dry. Tired. Feel like I could sleep all day.
1030 Rae listen to audio book for her English class. Oddly it’s giving me headache.
1100 decided to try to balance checkbook
257 still trying to find my error! Found part of it but not all of it. Ugh! Giving myself more of headache and blurry vision. So frustrating!
320 finally found the error. Checkbook balanced! Things like this have been so difficult to continue to do post LS. I used to love math and numbers…niw they are such a chore. Yet with God as my helper I will continue to persevere!!
