650 low back throbbing, exhausted, tummy hurts, body stiff and achy, back is throbbing. Sinuses congested. Slight headache. Horrible indigestion. I’m over the indigestion.
943 pit stop at Chattahoochee National Forest – mini haha & the gorge – Tallulah waterfalls
130 I made it thru the trails suspension bridge and all. I was stuck in middle of suspension bridge for a bit…as I was trying to take photo a group started walking across and one of their girls thought it’d be funny to shake the bridge. I almost dropped my phone over the ledge. Thankfully I caught it against my chest. My legs began wobbling like jelly and I froze afraid to fall. Jordon came back to help me across rest of way. Made it to bench and had to sit a while. Oh the sights are gorgeous!
Half way up the other side I was trying to psych my brain out that I wasn’t hearing thunder in the distant but Joe threw that out into the water by asking me if I heard the thunder. Ugh! Nerves immediately started tingling. Told him to change subject it’s like a PTSD effect or something I have to work thru.
Laying down to rest before the birthday party tonight. Thundering now even makes my nerves tingle and cringe in fear. Heart racing, out of breath. That’s the most steps I climbed in over 3 years. Huge accomplishment.
Lightning flashed close by and I shrivel in fear and want to cry. I’m so tired. Need to rest a piece.

Woke sometime in middle of night. Had trouble going back to sleep so I decided to pray. Prayed for a while before falling back to sleep.
Woke back up around 5pm. My legs are throbbing! My entire body stings. Had to have help down the stairs bc I almost fell. Legs wobbling like jelly and giving out. Tushy throbs. Hands throbbing. Headache minimal.
1035 made it home safely. Enjoyed our vacation even though I’m in extreme pain now. Night meds taken, sleepy time lotion applied to legs and hands. Naproxen taken.
Headache & my whole body is intensely throbbing. Sweet dreams. I’ll deal with washing clothes and unpacking tomorrow. Kids can help too. Tongue tingly. Rt ear Rand for few minutes once back in mobile county.
