Sept 20
It’s a migraine day. Don’t want to take relpax til nap time bc it makes me sleepy. Church today. Missionaries here today. Feeding them lunch.
1050 visiting family of 3 today. Baby name Elijah. Told them it was perfect name. Name sounds familiar but can’t place it. Offered nursery. 9 months old. Showed them nursery. Introduced them to nursery workers (Rae & Mom). Rae exclaims that’s awesome he’s Elijah too. Then it clicks. Clarke’s bring Elijah to church too. Whew! Averted that possible fiasco. Boy do I feel like a blonde. Where’s my brain today?
Lunch smelling good. I hope it’s not burning.
130p took relpax for migraine. Dozed off few times but kept jerking myself awake.
345 Had enough jerking awake. Decided to get up and clean and straighten up around church.
430 picking up shingles off ground from Sally. Picked up several and put them in hallway by office. Rested in between bundles. Finally too much. Couldn’t take the pain – low back & upper legs throbbing and out of breath. Rae jumped in to help. Fussed at me for not asking for help. In midst of it, realized migraine has eased up. It feels good to not have migraine…more energy.
1000 brain is done for day. I’m exhausted. Hurt from head to toe – at least it’s not a migraine. Apparently I get them more than I thought…used to being in pain all time and having to push thru until I can’t. Seems weird but nice having one less pain if only temporary. Arms and legs tingly. Tickled about the burping and tooting and gurgling noises. It’s like part of my body regained life again. 😏

630 woke from strange dream with hymns flowing in brain to severe pain in lower lft abdomen and my whole body from neck to toes stinging
1022 busy day..figured out way to finagle washer to wring clothes mostly out so I don’t have to do by hand. Maybe just a sensor. I’ve no clue. Will work with what I’ve got until Joe gets it fixed. Helped Rae start to clean LM yard from Sally. Didn’t do too much but did what I could now I’m hurtn’ something fierce. Nerves pulsating thru bad as though I worked out hard. Been resting pretty much since we got home. Took break to make simple dinner. Skin itches. Tummy hurts. Low back intensely throbbing. Nerves sting in lower legs, feet, arms, hands. Vest center rt side sharp throb.
Took night meds, antibiotic, & naproxen. Applied sleep lotion.
Sept 22
630 slept hard most of night. Woke to extremely stiff body and much pain. Hard to get moving. Eyes heavy and difficult to open. Every inch of me feels like it’s burning – not hot but as if did extreme workout.
Read 2 Chronicles 1-5
1000 Thankful that Dezirae is prepping dinner for crockpot tonight. I hurt so much, feel lethargic, and lack motivation today. Need something to give me pep. I’ve already taken B12 with my morning meds and it’s not working. Ugh!
2nd load of clothes in washer. 2 loads waiting to be folded and put away on my bed.
200p can’t keep eyes open any longer. Need a nap.
330 slept for a while could sleep longer. took naproxen and extra b12. Need to get clothes put away.
730 made stop a home improvement store to pick up paint remover for front door. Hoping it’ll will help make task easier. Mom & Rae helping as bday present for me.
930 time for bed. Pain exudes from neck to toes. Low back intensely throbbing. Very tired. Thirsty. Lower left leg tourniquet tightening burning feeling. It’s not hot to touch nerves just feel that way. Shoulders burning throbbing. Top of head hurts. Toes and feet tingle.
Sprayed pillows with DIY sleepy spray (lavender, orange, cedar essential oils)
Praying that sleep will come quickly and help ease pain.
