5:30a it’s too early to wake up. Pictures in brain going 100 mph. My whole body stinging throbbing pain.

Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 25-27

Song – It’s a good thing to give thanks to the Lord

It hurts to move. I feel like I’ve been beaten horribly. I would stay in bed all day if it were up to me. Bad headache.

6am Joe gave me bouquet flowers & card, Jordon gave me an encased glass light up rose, dk chocolates, & card, Dezirae gave me plaque, dk chocolate covered almonds, bracelet, & card. Sweet.

640 took pain rx to take edge off. Laying back down til 7am to see if it’ll help.

7:20 headache eased. Pain still much.

900 head is swimming. Eyes hurt. Lights bothersome. Whole body aches from top of head to tippee toes.

3:30pm decided to try to trim up the azalea bush out by road. Got maybe 1/3 done and noticed bunch of dogs wandering across property. Bull dog noticed me and started to run towards me growling. I screamed bloody murder!!! Dog stopped in his tracks. Decided to pick up my cane laying near me so I’d have some defense. As I did he began running towards me growling again. I screamed bloody murder again causing him to stop. When I stopped for a breath he came towards me. I chose to scream until someone came out. Joe came running. I told him what was up. Joe got between me and the dog. The movement startled the dog causing him to lose his focus off me.

When Joe reached me, I told him I was done for today. I don’t want to get attacked by no dog. Besides my back is killing me.

Once back inside and things put away, I sat for few moments to rest and remembered that I was supposed to be working on the banners for homecoming. It didn’t take long. Makes me want a circuit so I can do the vinyl myself.

1000p it’s been a full day. Services were great today. I was even able to sing with a few of the songs though not very long. It’s challenging enough to play piano with nystagmus (it severely hinders the eye hand coordination) let alone try to sing at same time. I’m always glad when I can sing.

520a tummy tore up. Up and down several times since about 2:30a. Woken by thunderstorm around 4:30. Strange dream.

Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 28-2 Chronicles 1

Whole body hurts. Sinuses congested. Tummy tore up. Exhausted.

2pm went shopping at thrift stores.

Had to put earplugs in while at 1st thrift store bc the music was too loud and hurting my nerves and ears. 

500p while in grocery store my costochondritis started flaring up. Hurt so bad I had to grab my chest and hunch over cart for a bit. All I could do was moan for the pain. Dezirae, Tara, & Holly helped with the shopping to get it done quicker. Tara was hurting too. Pain was a 9.75!! I just wanted to sit on floor and cry. I’ve overdone too much.

600p glad dinner was in crockpot – potato corn chowder. Sat to rest for quite a while.

1030 going to bed in much pain. Using heating pad & took Naproxen. Every inch of me throbbing pain. Hope GABA kicks in quick so I can fall asleep.

Headache. Sinuses congested immediately after eating dinner. Stinging pain thru body. Gassy. Tummy feels bloated. Scalp itches. Skin itchy most of day. Hands swollen and throbbing. Arms ache deeply. Severe pain in chest area. Back stinging. Stinging pain in lower and middle back. Legs throbbing. Lower left leg tourniquet tightening feeling. Feet hurt & chilly. Tingling in feet. Vision blurring. I want to scream!
