300 woke thinking I overslept.
530 whole body stiff and achy. Arms feel extra sore and bruised. Fingers throbbing. It hurts to move. Extremely tired. Nose a little stuffy. Feel clammy as if I broke fever during the night.
Amos 1-5
Vision seems a bit blurry on the sides. Bp 123/73. I haven’t taken morn meds yet.
Earliest apt available is at 1:30pm today. I’ll go pick gals up from school straightway afterwards.
Cut up veggies for dinner. That wore me out – not going to be doing much today. Too much movement makes my chest throb and sting.
Need to remember to ask Dr what exercises I can do to strengthen my chest muscles so I don’t go through this every few weeks. Frustrating.
4 needles (1-back rt neck, 1-rt upper chest, 1-rt wrist, & 1-rt leg just below knee). I didn’t like them much this time. Rt wrist shot electric shock like lightning shooting down through end of finger. The neck one felt as if someone was pinching me hard trying to hit the nerve to knock me out but missed, the chest one made the skin around itch, and the one in the knee made it feel like someone like coed (cocked?) me in the chin extremely hard causing instantaneous bruising. Ouch!
During the 20 minutes relax time, I dozed off for 5 minutes and jerked awake. My rt wrist started itching and hand going numb so I lifted hand gently to adjust. Upon doing do, the needle fell out of wrist and hit the table. Not sure where it went. I don’t dare move too much while enduring acupuncture bc it’ll cause more nerve pain.

Dr actually praised me for trying to do things on my own. I was kind of shocked. I was expecting him to scold me to hurting myself. Told him I won’t know extent of my limitations until I try. I’d rather not hurt myself though. Gave me couple exercises to do at my own pace to build up strength in upper body.
200 Joe’s job that he’s leaving did him wrong, wrong, wrong. She bears are coming. Not only are they messing with his pay they’re threatening him. Thankfully Chief has his back. I’m glad he’s going to a better job.
920 I’m exhausted though I haven’t done much. Jordon tried to remind me that the chiropractor visit usually wears me out but I didn’t get what he was saying until later.
I feel like I was beat up. Need some rest. Chest aching deeply, but no longer the sharp stabbing pain that was bringing me to tears. Need to rebuild strength in upper body.
Minor headache. Shoulders sore. Arms, hands, and wrists stinging achy. Low back achy. Rt hip hurts. Legs throbbing. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling in my ankle and foot. Skin sensitivity and itchy. Scalp sore to touch. Eyes hurt. Toes tingly and chilly. Extremely tired.
It’s good thing to give praise to the Lord.
Thankful that Joe starts new job on Monday.
Thankful for loving family.
Thankful for the Lord’s mercies and that they are new every morning.

500 woke from nightmare. Sinuses congested. Took Tylenol sinus. Headache. Feel chilly. Hurt all over like I’ve been best up. Hurts to move.
Song: I’m on the Winning Side
Drinking cup of hot Stress Relief Tea with honey and non dairy creamer. Took C, D3, Echinacea, & Zinc.
Amos 6-9, Numbers 21:7-9,
Able to work on blog for little bit.
Joe cooked breakfast – fried eggs and toast
Joe took me birthday shopping at the thrift store (my request). Couldn’t believe how fast they were changing out the bins. I got wore out and quit before looking at last bins changed out. Found bunch of stuff (70% of it for other people, but I’m ok with that). Couple items are for selling. Some for gifts. Some for myself.
Joe offered to pick gals up from school so I could rest.
1030 exhausted. Rt hip throbbing immensely. Chest sore. Hands swollen and throbbing. Legs sting and ache. Feet chilling. I’m freezing. Fixing to crash. Skin itchy.
