600 I’m exhausted though I slept a good portion with broken sleep I feel as if I just fell asleep. Whole body stiff and achy stinging. Got hot in middle of night. Tried to push some of blankets off me but didn’t do so well bc my arms were weak and the blankets felt like lead balloons.
730 Rae off to school. She asked me to proof her paper today. She’s writing about dyslexia.
She told me her English teacher is amazed at how well she is doing in school even though she has dyslexia. Wanted to know what her parents did to help her overcome. She told her biggest thing was that even though we knew she had it we didn’t treat her any different than our other kids, but gave more understanding in working with her.

Exhausted, feeling drained, lft shoulder feels like it needs to be adjusted bc it’s hurting, feel like I’m going to pass out. Need to rest a bit.
*Few chores on daily list done.
*Checked layout of Jordon’s quilt. I need about 6 more squares to finish.
*While using the assistant of Microsoft Excel and a calculator, I managed to balance checkbook on first try the first time today!!!!! Major accomplishment – first time post LS 4.5 years ago.
Asked question in LS & ES support group about possibility of acquired dyslexia.
It can happen. Optic Nerve Damage was suggested

How does one find out about that?
As the day progresses, my pain worsens. I feeling very grumpy. Need to lay down few minutes to rest. Eyes hurt. Vision blurry and doubled at times. Ringing in ears. Rt hip throbbing. Feet freezing and tingling. Hands throbbing. When eyes are leaking bc of the pain, it’s time to take a pain Rx. Played wholetones music and deep breaths to calm nerves while I rest.
Brain fog, blurry vision and trying to play piano doesn’t mix well. It’s hard to focus on anything. Still I try my best.
