1206a guys finally make it home. Rae & I watching a Christian film. It only has a few more minutes. Twas going to finish but Joe comes to livingroom and tells us to go to bed. Ugh. I’ll have to try to remember to finish later.
1238p attempt to put new bandage on knee myself and mess it up. Have to use medical tape anyways to keep it on. It’s looking much better.
I’m feeling the effects of not enough rest through the day. I’m exhausted. Looking forward to working on Sea Hope vests tomorrow. Found the stencil I made but misplaced. It was with my character trait notes. Lol.
My whole body hurts. Jostling down the bumpy dirt road hurts a body. Sinuses acting haywire. Headache. Neck hurts. Shoulders ache & sting. Arms sore. Hands throbbing. Butt aches. Legs throbbing. Chest hurts. Nose slight bloody. Lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with numbness and tingling. Feet hurt and tingly. Toes freezing cold & tingly. Low back throbbing intensely.
730a very rough night. Bandage kept sticking to sheets hindering my movement. Couldn’t get comfortable.
Just as I fall asleep sheets got taken away. Rest of night I either fought for covers or got stuck in them and felt like I was suffocating. Woke in bad mood and angry. I’m in lot of pain today too. Told Joe it’s a tramadol pain day.
Decided to turn Rejoice radio on to soothe my tension. Music soothes and heals. It helps.
Joe prepares meat in crockpot and allows me to prepare the scallop potatoes in 2nd crockpot.
Today is Come back to church Sunday! Looking forward to seeing our people. Lots of prep work before 11am. Glad we have Kids to help.
800 getting ready for church. Went to closet to get something. I sneezed and I could not only feel it but I heard something pop inside my head. It hurt but my headache eased a little too. Weird.
1030 My back is severely throbbing and I’m wobbling like a penguin. Rae chuckling tells me she can tell I’m really hurting because I’m wobbling. Suggested I sit to rest a bit. Decide to sit and eat a nutrigrain bar so I can take my am meds. Have to eat something now before taking them so it doesn’t upset my stomach.
Joe offers us to sing accapella today. I refuse because I know music is important in the service.
1220 Joe discovered that we forgot to plug in meat crockpot. Now have to cook on stove top. I need fry pans at church. Ugh! My back is killing me.
Forgot it was metal pan and grabbed the handle. Lightly burnt my lft palm. Few minutes later I did same thing to rt palm. This makes me wish I had air fryer at church. Pork chops are cooked.
200p time to rest. I’m exhausted and in much pain. Guys are cleaning up kitchen. Head hurts. Feel crash oncoming. Laying down a while. Entire back throbbing with pain shooting like streams through body.. Hands ache. Neck hurts. Arms ache. Lft leg throbbing. Rt hip throbbing. Lower let leg tourniquet tightening feeling with numbness and tingling. Feet hurt.
224p sudden chilling burning sensation behind rt ear. Feels weird. Lasted about 30 minutes.
652 legs and feet are cold. Vision blurry. Back pain has eased but not gone. Brain fog. Head hurts on top of headache. Tired.
915 stumbled across info about migraines…
930 skin xtra sensitive tonight. Joe’s elbow next to my elbow. Tonight his hair on his arm felt like razors on my arm. Strange but very bothersome.
