Lightning Strikes – Journal Entries 29-30 April 2020

April 29

845 woke from a very strange dream. [I was in search for finding myself – I was looking for me. I found myself at a conference of some sort sitting at a table with an army recruiter. I had just taken the entrance exam and they were revealing my score. I had scored in one of the highest percentile and excelled in the computer knowledge aspect. The news was shocking and exciting. They wanted me to start right away. I told them I’d have to pray about it and discuss it with my husband because I had a family it would affect also.

I immediately shared the good news with “-” (blonde girl we were houseparents to at Hope – her name escapes me presently). She was so excited for me. I sadly told her I probably won’t be able to walk that path because it would affect my husband’s pastorship and I couldn’t take that away from him but there had to be a way I could do something similar instead. Maybe I could pursue getting a degree in computers via help thru a retrain program or something. I cried. ]

 

1100 Decided to open the wholetones chroma DVD and listen/watch on my laptop while working on few things. Started listening but only hearing music. My vcl player needed to be updated. Ugh. Always something.

At first the videos were a little hard for me to watch. All the movement is hard for me to follow (mind you that I’m working thru a brain injury).  I decided to watch the “How to use Chroma” session. I just wanted to cry. Hearing and seeing what the healing frequencies are suppose to work towards healing. I’ve read the book but I cannot remember what I read. I struggle with memory and comprehension. This in and of itself is bothersome, but a peace comes over me when I recall the Scripture and hymns I memorized as a teen.

I never thought about the possibility of people not feeling worthy of receiving healing. Why would someone not feel worthy? Why would they feel shame? Do I feel that way? No! I want to be healed. I just don’t know how.

900 fear is the hardest to overcome. It is a stronghold that can govern our lives if we let it.

1159 moderate pain. Headache minimal about 4. Neck hurts. Shoulders ache. Bloody nose though not streaming just when blowing nose. Sinuses congested. Hands swollen and achy. Low back aches. Rt hip throbbing. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling. Legs ache.

April 30

128 still wide awake

530 woke when Joe gave me kiss to go to work. Couldn’t go back to sleep. Purposely stayed in bed and tried to no avail.

600a have nosebleed. Took few minutes to get it to subside. Feeling weak and lousy.

715 Decided to get up after reading my Bible. No sense waiting time.

730 Rae left for work. I’m by myself for few hours. Ah Peace and quiet. I put on Wholetones Chroma but only listen to first one Open Door. Fiddled around doing little chores I haven’t been able to do. Took couple hours to find right size box to ship a pkg.

1000 my where has time gone? Still have lots to do. Need to figure out classes for next year and order books. Finally have Jordon’s classes figured out. Placed one order today for Math & Home Ec. Still need to nail down Raes classes. I’m so perplexed. Ugh.

Recvd email bank statement was available.

1230 Raes home from work. Ugh. I didn’t get near as much as I wanted to. I’m tired. Decided to take lunch. Ate lunch and began balancing checkbook asking God to help me not take as long as last time. I have to go through it few times because I’m missing something. Several errors. Took me 2.5 hours to balance checkbook. My head is throbbing and I’m exhausted.

300 I feel a crash oncoming. I try to get comfortable. I’m hurting. Rt hip & low back throbbing something aweful. Feel myself about to crash and lay head down. Next thing I know it’s 4pm and I’m coming to. I’m so tired still if only I could sleep longer.

415 gotta get up to get ready for church. Joe picking us up tonight. Glad he’s driving.

AHIF posted…

Interesting read…would you say that you still feel fatigued years after your injury?

I answered…

Yes. I’m 3 years out this July. Though I’m doing better I get so wore out especially when needing to use my brain for thinking and processing for lengths of time. Wish I could get someone to understand it and explain it to me.

They replied…

Hi Melissa! Here is an article about fatigue…https://www.brainline.org/article/fatigue-after-brain-injury-brainline-talks-dr-nathan-zasler

1159 I’m exhausted by awake. Rt hip & low back intense throbbing as if caught in horrific knot. Cramping in rt side. Legs ache & random twitching. Neck hurts. Bad headache. Feet tingling. Hands achy & swollen. Lft knee is looking better but hurts. Applied frankinsense oil roll on to knee to aid in healing. Also taking 2-3,000 mg Vitamin C. Random sharp stabbing pains through body.

Taking pain rx & muscle relaxer or I won’t get any sleep.

Lightning Strikes – Journal Entries 27-28 April 2020

April 27

Muscle & joints ache upon waking. Sleepy but need to get moving. Let hand hurts where I cut it. Used colloidal silver to rinse it last night. Looks bit better this morning & not as red. Knee hurts when I up too long.

Have house call to make this morning. Looking forward to it.

913 recvd call from a local pastor’s wife. Wanted to know if I’d be interested in some sheet music. Oh, what a blessing. She has three totes full plus a bookshelf to store them in. Praise the Lord! An answer to an unspoken request.

936 recvd phone call to postpone house call. Ugh! Her daughter not feeling well this morning. Try again on Wednesday.

945 music & bookshelf delivered to my doorstep.

1000 recvd message that my mom is coming over to help me clean my house windows in preparation for caulking them. Not what I planned today but it needs done. Kids will help.

119 Windows are cleaned, shrubs trimmed, sidewalk & driveway pressure washed. Oh, Jordon & Jakob took tree stand out of woods. Whew! Time for much needed break.

Oh, I helped as I could but mostly sat to supervise kids. Even if I tried to do stuff I was being fussed at to not do too much. Work for 5 minutes or so then I was sitting to rest bc low back throbbing and out of breath. Sun and cool breeze felt so good.

230 need to lay down feel crash on coming like I’m about to pass out.

400 crashed for two hours.

Key to good nutrition is three ingredients: amylase, bromelain, lipase

420 headed to store with Rae to get few items. I forgot to look for butter.

445 Joe had a rough day at work. Coworkers acting like children. Ugh. Joe having to take a stand.

1000p KL checked on me. Reminded me about applying eos. Thanked her. Decided to apply frankinsense. I remembered I used it for a while to heal the wound on my head after LS.

1159p decided to try my PT exercises. Not able to put much pressure on my knee so unable to do half squat and cat/cow. Only able to do partial bridges. Sore all over afterward. Can tell it’s been a while. Definitely need to get back into my PT exercises routine.

Headache. Low back throbbing. Rt hip hurts. Shoulders hurt. Hands burning ache. Legs ache. Toes stinging tingly. Skin itchy. Muscles in legs jittery feeling. Lft elbow hurts…bruised. Pain about a 7/8. But I feel good about myself because we were able to stuff done around the house.

April 28

730 rough night. Nightmares (snakes, & woke myself up at one point yelling fire) bad headache. Nose stuffed up. Trouble breathing. Used saline nasal spray to moisten nostrils a bit. Mouth feels parched as if I’m a little dehydrated.

930 going with Rae to sit with LM while Rae cleans her house.
