Nov 1
545 tossed and turned and groaned all night. Couldn’t get comfortable for long. Excruciating pain in shoulder. I’m exhausted.
Song: Oh, That will be glory for me
Matthew 19-20, Ephesians 1:18, Psalm 104:33-34
Psalms 104:33-34 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
May our meditation of Him and the beauty of His creation be sweet to our souls. May we never grow weary of proclaiming the praises of God. Praying you have a marvelous Monday!🍁
Currently waiting for chiropractor office to open so I can see if they can fit me in today. Hoping to get some ease of pain this morning. I don’t function well if I can’t sleep.
Dr said collar bone and shoulder was out of place. The muscles in that area were quite messed up too. Says I’m to take it easy for couple of days to allow it to heal.
Dr checked area to see extent of damage. I moaned a lot. The more it hurt the louder I got. Told him I was trying not to scream (I didn’t want to scare the other patients in office). Tears started dropping. Told him he was going to make me cry.
He popped my collar bone and shoulder back into place. Adjusted my back and neck. Applied lotion to top of shoulder area. Massaged it in and really worked the muscles. Ouch!
I felt immediate relief once bones were back in place. Still feel quite sore though. No wonder I’ve been feeling like I was beat up. I was.
I’m so exhausted. Need a nap. Lft arm very sore and bruised feeling
Not feeling too good. Joe says I’m running low grade fever. Told him it’s probably from the trauma of my bones being out of place. Lymph nodes are swollen on either side of neck (lft twice as much as rt). Lft arm periodic sharp stabbing pains and deep bruised aching.

Worked on balancing checkbook. Took me a while and I had to use computer to help. Found several mistakes and eventually able to balance. PtL!
Couple of friends contacted me today asking prayer for specific things going on in their lives. Did my best to give encouraging counsel, but I’ve not personally been in those specific situations so I don’t know how they are feeling nor exactly what to say. Asked God for help. Shared scripture and assured them I’d pray.
Went to bank to deposit a check, but forgot my checkbook 🤦. Has to ask teller for deposit slip and call Joe to read me off our account#. Frustrated at myself.
Picked up gals. Went to Lowes to get river rocks. Had to have Dezirae lift the bags because I’m not able to. Guys unloaded then when we got home. Going to need more rocks.
My lft arm is throbbing intensely. It hurts even to touch it. Center of chest throbbing and hurts to move. Muscles in lft arm keep spasming painfully. Whole body aches. Feet tingly. Periodic numbness and tingling in entire left arm. Severe indigestion.
Thankful for:
