LS Memoirs 14-20 November 2024
Nov 14
430 left arm cramping woke me. Tried to fall back to sleep, but the fire alarm started beeping to let us know the battery is dying. Annoying.
Oddly enough only my upper body, arms, and feet are stiff and throbbing burning pain. Leg ache as if sore from working out but feel okay otherwise.
Acts 4-6, 1 Peter 3:18, Isaiah 12
Lights bright and bothersome. Eyes burning on corners and watering. Head feels like it’s swimming. This makes playing piano more challenging.
Took afternoon nap for couple hours. Broken sleep but passed out quickly.
Did fairly decent job playing piano for choir practice. Trouble staying focused on music though. Eyes kept wanting to wander and was easily distracted – squirrel. Lol.
Left arm keeps cramping. Whole body aches moderately. Rt hip throbbing. Feet freezing. Exhausted. Pins and needles through most of body.
Started colloidal silver again because tongue starting to flare up.
Nov 15
400 not sure why I woke this early. Feel hot but chilled. Whole body stiff and achy. Rt hip throbbing. Left arm cramping and hurts like a giant bruise. Headache. Tinny dry mouth taste.
Used restroom and rinsed mouth out. Drank water. Upper back aches. Legs pins and needles and ache as if I ran a marathon. Eyes crusty on edges.
Have one of the songs from wedding reception stuck in my mind. I don’t know name or even the words just the music repeating.
Toes and feet starting to have burning sensation. Both ears ringing.
Acts 8-9, Psalm 119:143, Jonah 2:9
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jonah 2:9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay that that I have vowed.Salvation is of the LORD.
Despite the circumstances Jonah had put himself in, he had confidence that the Lord would deliver him. Thankful that our communication line with the Lord can never be shut down. May we have the believing anticipation to see God at work all around us. Salvation is truly of the Lord.

Hung load of clothes on line to dry. Now my left arm is cramping. It feels like its being squeezed in a vice grip. Ugh. Forgot to out sunglasses on when I went outside and now I have a moderate headache.
Dinner started in crockpot. I’m attempting to make Zuppa Toscona Soup.
Filled Rx cases for the week.
Decided to vacuum behind the fridge and in front of dryer. Dusty! Whew!
I’m exhausted and hurting all over. Headache worsening. Need to rest before Dr apt. Took 2 Tylenol.
Dr apt went good. Muscles in left arm still in knots. Dr did deep muscle massage on arm, acupuncture (5 needles in arm and 1 in lft hand), and adjustment. Lft arm still slightly out of place. Dr able to pop it back in. Adjusted back and neck as well.
Dr had to increase price, but it’s still way less than an ER visit. My left arm feels little better, but still very sore and tender bruise like.
Home to rest before picking girls up from school. Thankful that I can take time to rest.
Took one load off line and put in dryer. Arm hurting more. Need to back off a little. Rt hip hurts. Have had to readjust doing things while arm is healing.
Nov 16
3am woken by horrible pain in my left arm. Guess I was sleeping on it wrong. Used restroom twice. Sinuses severely congested. Took Tylenol Sinus. Eyes watery.
Acts 9-10, Psalm 119:18, Matthew 5:16
Finally fell back to sleep about 5:30am.
Tasks:
Went to pick up some groceries. It took a while. God blessed. Thank you, Lord.
Postcard invites for church Thanksgiving dinner – created, printed, labeled, stamped, and mailed.
Washed load of blankets and hung to dry.
Folded and put away load of dry clothes from y’day.
Decided to scrub tub.
I’m exhausted and hurting. Going to rest a bit while eating lunch.
330 feel like a swollen blob and about to crash. Bad headache. Left shoulder and arm throbbing. Upper chest throbbing. Think I’ve overdone it today.
Laying down a bit before Joe comes home. Taking 2 Tylenol headache pills.
It’s wonderful having the ability and little more energy to do more around the house, but it’s challenging trying to figure how much I can push myself without inflicting too much pain L. One day at a time.
Went to Mom’s to plan for Thanksgiving dinner next week. We decided who was getting/cooking which items from menu. Now I need to figure out what can be done ahead of time. I’ll have kids help for sure.
Headache has eased and pain in arm and chest has eased for now. Hope to sleep better tonight.
