Revelation 4-8; Psalm 103:1-2; Luke 4:16-30; Luke 2:11
700 call from Joe. Nice to hear his voice.
Fill Rx for week. Put load of clothes away. Hung some clothes in closet. Dinner in crockpot. Hung load of towels on line. File recipes in binder.
My mind wants me to do more, but my body says that’s enough. Whole body stinging throbbing pain. Rt hip/sciatic nerve sharp stabbing pain. Head hurts. Exhausted. Must take break for a bit.
1000 decided to make chocolate chip cookies. Used mixer to mix batter. Sit in between batches cooking to ease pain in lower back.
115 need to go to store to get few items. Dezirae drives there. Did good job. Walk behind buggy – no wheelchairs available. Legs starting to feel like lead weights.
Home to rest.
7:55 parents call to ask for help. Toilet overflowed and there’s 2″ of water on floor. They need help.
1145 finally able to call it a night. Had two carpet cleaners going to vacuum up the water. Dehumidifier and fans going. Dad & Mom both thanked us for the help. The guts fell apart, which caused the mini flood. Joe will fix it tomorrow after he gets off work. Dad gave me a pain pill. I’m so hurting right now. Took 1/2 benadryl to help me with allergies (I drank some milk with my cookies this afternoon) and help me sleep.
Low back throbbing intensely, rt hip sharp stabbing pain, nerves pins and needles throughout body, hands stinging burning throbbing, legs ache, ankles to toes stinging burning throbbing tingling pain, calves stinging burning. Exhausted.

330 Joe woke me. He’s in excruciating pain on rt side causing periodic vomiting. Asked for pain med.
530 Joe asks me to take him to ER. Got yelled at by check in nurse because I lowered my mask to answer her question. She kept asking me to repeat so I thought she couldn’t understand me. Ugh
618 still waiting to be triaged by nurse. His bp 178/117 hr 82. Nurse asked if he still had his appendix and if he’s ever had kidney stones.
Triage nurses aunt was struck by lightning walking home from school. She’s alive and doing well at 2 yrs old.
Revelation 9-12; Matthew 11:28;
701 Hydromorphone & Zofran for pain and nausea.

7:57 Zofran, non narcotic pain Rx (?), Dilaudid {trouble comprehending what they’re saying even after having them repeat 3 times} Toradol – had to Google what I thought I heard. Google corrected spelling.
809 Joe humming The Old Rugged Cross. I think the pain meds are starting to help.
8:16 Joe is now loopy and mumbling weird things. Lol
Open house is a really good idea. As soon as we get the mission house and church fixed up we can have open house. That’s a really good idea.
Gallstones, 3mm kidney stone, cyst in liver – need to follow up with primary doctor. Kidney stone is on top of bladder. It should pass at home soon. Will be giving antibiotic and pain med for home. Work note out until Friday. If pain gets worse, need to come back.
900am Dr sending him home with pain Rx, antibiotic, nausea, med to help pass stone.
9:36 home now. Got Joe situated on couch.
1021 hmm. Scrolled through FB quickly while waiting for Drs return and commented on a post.
1100 attempting to get Joe’s Rx filled. Pharmacist concerned about the antibiotic prescribed due to an allergy. She calling ER Dr to see if another one can be prescribed in it’s place. So I wait.
1115 didn’t have to wait too long. Antibiotic corrected.
1220 hubby taken care of – toast, water, meds. I’ve eaten. Took my meds plus headache med. Head is splitting open. Now to take a nap.
330 woken by phone call.

Thankful that it wasn’t worse with Joe. Thankful for friends willing to bring Powerade to help.
