LS Memoirs – January 1-2, 2022
Jan 1
745 woke to severe indigestion. Whole body very stiff and achy. Nerves stinging.
Sucking on ginger chew for the indigestion. Joe rubbed my back and head. Brief break from indigestion when he was rubbing my head. When he stopped it came back. Weird?
Feeling extra lethargic today, but have lots to do. Bulletin, certificates, attendance registers, etc.
Took me all day. Wanted to upload a PDF to Facebook but couldn’t figure out how. Got frustrated and gave up. Take several breaks from computer eyes get blurry, upper back hurting, headache, etc.
Mom sick. Made sure Dad was taking care of Mom. Tara not feeling well.
1st of Dezirae’s bday present ordered. Unexpected trip drained our account and I’m not sure how we’re going to float this month especially since Joe out sick for an additional week. Faith being tested big time.
Folded two loads clothes (washed the other day). Tripped on pillows in closet and wrenched my upper back pretty good. I hurt so bad I want to cry, but tears not coming. Decide to sit for a while. I’m so done for the day.
Joe asked me to explain type of pain. Told him most of time I have nerve pain all over. He asked if it was like foot or arm falling asleep and it’s waking back up. No. It’s more like I’m being stung all over by bees or having the tens unit pads all over your body and you accidentally turn the electricity up too high. Most of time I’ve gotten used to it and I can ignore it some of the time. But since I wrenched my back tonight everything hurts horribly.
Took night vitamins and 1/2 pain pill.
Joe said he’s glad that he doesn’t have to take pain med all the time. The pain med that the Dr gave him for kidney stones took all the pain away.
Told him most of time I don’t even know what otc pain med to take because they don’t even take the edge off of pain so I don’t take anything. Only one Dr gave script for the pain that helps. I used it sparingly until it was gone. Sometimes I would love to have relief from pain so I could do more. I get to point where I’m wore out and tired of being in pain all the time and just want to cry for a while. This too shall pass. Once I get good night’s rest I’ll be better and can go on.
God’s grace is sufficient.
I didn’t even get to my stuff I wanted to work on. January Scripture Journaling for blog. I’ll work on it tomorrow. Plus I need to post more journal entries.
Jan 2
700 slept pretty good. Woke to headache. Whole body stiff and stinging throbbing. Tired.
Genesis 4-7; Psalm 90:12
Headache not going away. I think it has to do with the weather. A storm supposed to be in our area today.
Joe asked me a question in-between songs. Had to have him repeat it three times before I could comprehend. Since my focus was taken off the music, it took me a bit to readjust my focus. I couldn’t remember the tune at first nor placement of fingers on keys. Frustrating. Told Joe getting my focus off music doesn’t work. Ugh.
Tired. Eyes are heavy. Head hurts. Black spots when I close my eyes. Lights bothersome.
Invited someone to join us for lunch after church. Had Sausage Broccoli Pasta. It was good. Had to have Jordon go get pasta from dollar store bc I forgot to pack the pasta.
340 just now laying down. I’m exhausted. Headache won’t quit. Jerked awake 20 minutes after falling asleep. Ugh.
Still have headache. Feet got icy so I looked for socks I had on y’day (Joe got me two pair of wool fuzzy socks) but I somehow managed to misplace them. Put on other pair. Took about 30 minutes to warm my feet with those ones.
Low back and rt hip throbbing. Burning throbbing pain in legs. Hands swollen and achy. Vision a bit blurry today. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling to toes. Exhausted. Pins and needles stinging thru body but more pronounced in upper body.
