April 11
6.00 Fell asleep writing thankfuls. Woke at 4 then at 6. Muscles all stiff and throbbing. Arms tingling. Low back and rt hip throbbing. Very tired. Vision a bit blurry.
Song on mind: ♫Heaven’s sounding sweeter all the time ♫
Luke 11:10-13; 1 Samuel 13-14; 1 Peter 2:24;
Juice – carrots, apples, lemon, ginger, red cabbage
Morning meds and vitamins taken. Listening to wholetones healing music.
Decided to prepare freezer crockpot meals for when I’m not able to. It took me all morning to make 6 freezer meals. I’m wore out.
Empty trash. Burn papers Checked on potatoes. They are doing good. Needed to add more dirt. Took some from unused pot. Found several worms. Never been so excited to see worms.
DE chia seed chocolate smoothie.
Lunch: leftovers
Much needed resting time. Mid day vitamins taken.
Dinner: Salmon patties, sweet potatoes, and squash & zucchini
I’m plumb exhausted. Every muscle in my body is throbbing immensely. I think preparing 6 freezer meals at one time is too much for this body. Low back & rt hip throbbing. Legs burning. Hands ache deeply. Back of lft heel throbbing as if I keep hitting a bruise, but I’m not hitting anything. Center of chest aches as if muscles overworked. Ribs hurt. Stomach feels bloated and cramping. Feet cold.
Night vitamins taken.
Thankful for:
- Thankful I was able to prepare six freezer meals.
- Worms in my garden. Potato plants are looking good.
- Friends checking in on me today.

6:00 both arms and hands numbish and tingling. Extreme pain throughout body. Low back throbbing immensely. Feel like I was badly beaten up. Every inch hurts.
Song: ♫If that isn’t love♫
Romans 3:23-24; 1 Samuel 18-20; Psalm 11, 59; Psalm 7
Morning meds and vitamins taken.
Allergies acting up – sneezing, congestion. Muscles on left side of abdomen spasming. Skin itchy.
Allowed Dezirae to drive to school today. I was a bit nerve racked, but she did well.
Juice: juicing carrots, spinach, apples, lemon, ginger, apple cider vinegar. It only made enough for two 8 oz glasses. Forced myself to finish up y’day spinach smoothie. Yuck.
Cleaned under kitchen sink, canning homemade turkey bone broth, gathering questions to ask the doctor, work little more on planning VBS. Learned I can use my tablet to help. Yay!
Time to rest. Drink 8 oz of juice. Lunch break. Mid-day vitamins taken.
Decided to watch Hallmark “The Note” while eating lunch. It tells of a columnist discovering a note after a tragic plane crash. She sets on a quest to find for whom the note was intended. It forces her to face past tragedies in her own life and learn to forgive herself. There was a point in the movie that I lost it and broke down crying. The hymn came to mind “I wonder have I done my best for Jesus”?
Post question in my LS&ES support group asking… I have a question and am in need of some suggestions. My lightning strike will be 5 years ago in July. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I recently read that damaged or broken DNA can occur in electrical injuries. I also read broken DNA can be a contributing factor to cancers. Has anyone else also been diagnosed with cancer post LS or ES?
I’m curious but nervous on the responses. I think if it hasn’t been studied it should be.
My pain increases. I’ve overdone it today. Need to take a nap. Pain level is 7/8. Nerves stinging and on fire. Muscles throbbing. Eyes watering. Hands throbbing.
Woke briefly to see Jordon had come to check on me. As he walked back out, I asked him what he needed. He was on phone as he sat on the bed. When he hung up, he plopped over to cuddle with me. This put a smile in my heart. I soaked it up and rubbed his back until I couldn’t. I cherish moments like this. Muscles in legs begin twitching.randomly.
The closer my appointment day comes it seems the more emotional my family is becoming. I’m even breaking down periodically. I have peace because I know my Lord will be with me all the way.
Dinner: tacos with soft shells. Evening juice drink. My stomach feels bloated and hurts. Drank 96 oz of fluid.
Getting into bed I accidentally put weight on my rt hand. It hurts, but only feels like a bad bruise now. It’s a little swollen.
Night vitamins taken. Plus pain rx. I’m up to 11,000 mg of Vitamin C daily and still not to bowel tolerance. Wow!
Journaling scripture. Hands cramping from writing.
Nerves stinging immensely. Muscles throbbing and aching deeply. Tired.
Thankful for:
- Snuggle time with my son
- Able to get 7 jars of broth canned
- Joe fix my chair. It’s old and part of the leg fell off yesterday evening.
Trying to get comfortable in bed and suddenly feel something poking my leg. It hurts. Feels like a pricker burr. I get out of bed and turn light on only to find nothing there. Ugh
