4am woke by excruciating pain in upper body. Used restroom and back to bed.
650 woken again by excruciating pain in upper body. I just want to cry.
Sinuses aren’t haywire at the moment which is good. I took a whole benadryl before sleep last night. Though I can’t do that all the time. Headache is minimal.
Song: There is power in the name of Jesus and That Beautiful Name.
Psalm 119:105, Acts 11-13, Luke 2:14
Eye Dr with Dezirae. Went back to previous Dr since we found her PCP. Nurse confirmed that other Eye Dr had her glasses Rx backwards and stronger than she needed. Eyes dilated. They are going to correct the issue. Thank you, Lord!
Joe called out of work because of his back. Going to chiropractor for adjustment. Dr says he injured his lower back. Given exercises to strengthen back and a weight limit of 20lbs for few days.
I’m so feeling finishing putting up the backsplash in kitchen. Had to unexpectedly deep clean the floor behind the stove. It was disgusting . It looks good, but I’m so hurting.
Decided to take an Epsom salt bath to ease some of the soreness and pain.
The hot water felt good on my body.
Asked Joe if he thought I did a good job. He told me was proud of me for continuing to push myself to try to stay active and do better. Will have to take it easy tomorrow.
Discovered I forgot to take my morning meds. Took pm vitamins plus ginger, Tylenol, and 1/2 a benadryl.
Whole body burning throbbing as I’d I ran a 5k marathon then did extensive workout. I’m a hurting here. Centrer chest throbbing. Feet And toes stinging and tingling. Bottom of lft foot hurt to walk on. Upon inspection, found a sliver of glass. Had to get Dezirae to hold flashlight to see in cut. Able to squeeze it out. Dezirae asked how I could stand doing that. I didn’t think about it. Thinking about it I only felt pressure not pain squeezing it, but it was sharp pain standing on it. Hmmm? Strange? Lft shoulder and arm throbbing like toothache. Bad headache. Lft ear ringing high pitched (lasted about 10 minutes).
Thankful for…
1. Dezirae going to get new glasses with correct Rx.
2. Jordon not hurt too bad when he fell at work today
3. Joe able to get some back relief at Dr today. Has every and weight limit while his back heals
4. Able to find a good Christmas present for my parents today at thrift store.

6:00a such pain in upper body. If only I could sleep it away.
Song: If it matters to you it matters to the Master.
Acts 14-15, John 17:17, John 3:16
Went to take morning meds and discovered I had my pill container upside down and took wrong meds last night. Oops .
Had every intention of taking it easy so I’d be eased up on my pain some for church tonight. Didn’t happen. Washed load of clothes. Sat at computer to work my my college class. Got two questions answered and chased squirrels rest of day. Hung load on line.
Remember that Thanksgiving dinner for church is this weekend. Decided to check to see what I still needed to do. Decorations – I don’t have a clue except orange and teal colors. Found printables for decorating.
Table needed clearing off. Went to put something in the guys room and realized I hadn’t been back in there to clean since I popped my ribs out of place the first time. Ugh. Decided to straighten up a bit. Twas working at cleaning/straightening in the room for about an hour. Started load of clothes from guys room. My back and upper body started screaming pain so I needed to go sit for a while.
10:39 Sat in the big recliner for a little bit to rest
1200 Joe called to let me know he was on his way home. I not know his schedule this week bc he forgot to send me a screenshot.
Once he got home, I decided to eat lunch.
Decided to try to hear up grilled cheese from previous night in air fryer. Tasted pretty good.
He tried to pick a movie but I wasn’t interested. He asked what I wanted to watch. Told him if it’s up to me it’d be a Hallmark bc that’s one of the only things that keeps my interest long enough to sit and rest like I should. He picked one and watched it with me. Brownie points.
Accidentally gave myself the runs. I’ve been taking a tsp of coconut oil in my hot cocoa in the morning to help ease constipation. Decided I hadn’t done a detox in a while and added 2 tsp of diatomaceous earth as well. Couple hours later I’m needing to use the restroom a lot for a short time. Positive note my stomach doesn’t feel as bloated.
Worked on some of the decorating at church, but back is screaming. Red to rest. Sat for a few minutes and I can feel a crash oncoming. Decided to lay down a bit before church.
I keep trying increasing my daily steps. Supposedly to remain healthy ones goal should be 10k steps a day. I can attest that according to that measure I am far from healthy. Lol. I’m excited that I have been able to work safely up to 3k steps a day without causing too much pain. Progress is good even at a snails pace.
Left ear ringing. Lasted 15 minutes.
Dezirae has to have the President’s memorized in order for test tomorrow. She’s driving me nuts with the silly song. Learned the Roosevelt’s were cousins.
Intermittent sharp stabbing pains in left upper arm which causes moaning. Dezirae chuckles and says my moaning sounds like I’m being punched. My lft arm feels like it’s received a beating.
Entire body has burning, stinging, pins and needles pain. I feel like I’ve been beaten up within half my life (or however the saying goes). Hands throbbing. Legs ache deeply. It hurts to move or sit still. Sinuses congested. Bad headache.
Night vitamins taken. 1/2 benadryl and 1/2 Rx pain pill.
Thankful for…
1. Running water
2. Roof over my head
3. Electricity
4. Nicodemus’ courage to inquire about Christ’s teachings

Song: His grace is sufficient for me
449 Joe came in room to give me am kiss. I was sitting up in bed. Can’t get comfortable. Told him I was tired of hurting. He gave me a hug.
Took 2 headache relief pills. I can sometimes push through body pain but migraines debilitate me. Entire back itches. Both ears ringing.
Found recipe to make mashed potatoes ahead of time in crockpot. That will be helpful.

1050p whole body tingling burning pain. Lft arm cramping. Periodic muscle spasms in abdomen area through out day. Headache has eased, but still there. Skin sensitive. Lethargic feeling, tired, but awake.

Oral lichen planus or geographical tongue

Potatoes are still not soft enough to mash. Cooking them in slow cooker overnight. Frustrating.

Shopping at Sam’s club for items needed for tomorrow at church and next week. Jakob’s bday & Thanksgiving. Joe & Dezirae helped. Used wheelchair.
As we were leaving, a lady started talking to me but I didn’t realize it at first. There was too much going on around me to focus on just one thing. She asked if I was done with the wheelchair. Told her yes and drove it to her. She was surprised I was willing to give it up so easily. Told her I could use the buggy to go to the car. Told her we have to look out for one another. This put a big smile on her face which made my day.
My left arm really hurts.
That moment when you get excited that you’re growing something you planted but you forgot to label it and don’t remember what it was. Lol I think it might be bell peppers, but I’m not sure.
*Sweet potatoes cooked and mashed.
*Both turkeys in roaster slow cooker
*Started working on assembling new Christmas Carol’s songbook
*Bulletins printed
While trying to move a small chair with my left hand, my left shoulder popped! I screamed ouch! Sharp stabbing bone rubbing against each other pain. I want to . I’m done for the night.
