Jan 30
700 woke to both arms throbbing but numb. Sinuses congested. Back throbbing. Shoulders hurt. Legs ache. Feet hurt. Feel like I was beat up. I guess having trots all day will do that to you.
Song on mind: Chorus of Blessings
🎶Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise🎶
Nasal spray one spray each nostril.
Genesis 48-50; Ephesians 4:2;
740 entire back and neck has chilling stinging pain
Conversation on way to church about injection cleaner and mileage booster for cars. Sea foam. I asked why would you want to foam up your gas? Blue devil. I ask why would you want to put the devil in your car? No. It’s the company. So what’s the product? Blue devil. If that’s the company name it’s the product name too. No. I’m confused. Irritating my husband not on purpose. Just not comprehending what he’s trying to say. Jordon cracking up laughing. I’m serious as can be trying to understand. Joe starts to crack while informing me that we’ve had this conversation a hundred times before. Yet I don’t recall or I might just understand it better.
Tara expresses concern about Papa forgetting more – he forgot his jacket and tie for church this morning. Assured her I knew. She didn’t understand why he could remember details from past experiences but forgot important info on current events. Able to explain to her that with Dementia or Alzheimer’s they remember past things better because it’s ingrained in their brain. It’s rote memory. New things arent established yet so it’s harder to remember. Explained that was why I was trying to be proactive with my memory. She didn’t understand at first. Dezirae interjected because of my brain injury. She said oh! Then she asked will I get it. I cannot say but Drs say we would be more susceptible because Nana had it and now possibly Papa.
1150 forgot how the tune went to first hymn especially for the interlude. Started humming from beginning of hymn to myself so I could remember ending. Took me a couple minutes. Once starting interlude my hands jumped to end of song before I was there. Had to try to add lib to fix it. I was frustrated.
center of chest hurting.
Talked with family about it at lunch time. They didn’t even notice.
200 I’m exhausted. Feel like I’m going to pass out.
Next thing I know Joe coming in to let me know it was 430. I’m still exhausted and having trouble waking. Vision on sides ore blurry.
Decided last week for instruction time at next Ladies Bible Study I was going to encourage meal planning and share with the ladies what I use to help me. Talking with ladies before church it was confirmed that was exactly what I needed to do. Love how God confirms you’re on the right track even when you’re unsure of yourself.
1150 load of laundry in dryer and new load started in washer. Exhausted from the day.
Entire back throbbing. Arms ache. Nerves stinging. Legs throbbing. Feet hurting. Sharp deep aching pain in lft shoulder. Exhausted and about to pass out.
Thankful for:

2. Dad able to come to church this morning.
3. God’s provisions

Decent day. Able to get 4 chores on daily schedule done – well almost… Rae’s linens still in drier. Pain levels fluctuate between 4/5 to 7 depending on what ai was doing.

Thankful…
1. Able to get some more chores done. While I still have long ways to go, it helps me to feel like I got something accomplished.
