4:45 woke to coughing. Sinuses congested. Chest aches deeply – I did too much y’day trying to get ready for our trip. Throat hurts from coughing.
My mind begins to think of bunch of different things. Will colloidal silver nasal spray help? I wish there was a way to have juicing in powder form for trips. I wonder if there is such a thing – that I’m not allergic to? Is soy lecithin bad for cancer patients?
Took Tylenol sinus to calm sinuses.
It’s a toss up for soy lecithin
Yes, colloidal silver can help with sinus issues

I can make juice for 48-72 hours as long as they are kept cold.

This is an exciting find. Now I can experiment with more than a couple flavors of juice.

6:00 I’m getting sleepy. Taking half hour nap. Nerves stinging throughout body. Muscles stiff and throbbing. Headache.
I forgot about typing up bulletins for Sunday. 🤦
Isaiah 26:3 – Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Can blood tests reveal if my immune system is working or not?

11:15 drop Rae off at school. Decided to go get my nails done. The UV light to dry the gel polish made tips of fingers feel like they’re on fire🔥😮
6:00 Dinner is leftovers. Juice. Mac n cheese. Cottage cheese and peaches. Took evening vitamins. Took first dose of B17 in helping to fight cancer.
7:07 took walk with my Mom, sister, and daughter. Walked .61 miles in 31 minutes. Took 1849 steps.
During walk my chest hurt something awful. Short of breath, but stopped few times to catch my breath. Low back throbbing immensely.
7:40 corner of my right eye has been stinging and hurting as if glass is stuck I skin. I check in mirror. I have a cut in very corner of right eye and I have no clue as to how it happened. Sat down in recliner for a bit. Started coughing. Chest felt as if cold trying to settle in chest. I nebulize with colloidal silver.
8:00 Stressing bcuz Joe wants car packed tonight and my bag isn’t even packed.
9:30 I barely made it. Feel like I’m forgetting something. I’m hurting something fierce. Low back throbbing immensely. Nerves stinging. Muscles ache deeply. Left rib area aches. As I lay in bed getting ready to fall asleep my legs and feet are throbbing as if I did intense workout. Head hurts. Nose slightly bloody. Neck hurts. Skin itchy. Both shoulders ache deeply. Left shoulder feels like its partially out of place.
Thankful for…
1. God giving me the strength and endurance to get things done today.
2. God helped me remember to print and mail homecoming fliers.
3. My husband packing the car.

4:00 I feel like I just broke a fever. My throat hurts. Sinuses congested. My whole body is stiff and throbbing. Feels like I’ve been beaten up. I hear a slight rattling in my lungs.
Psalm 65-67
I’m coughing up yellow junk. Nebulize with colloidal silver for 10 minutes. Lft shoulder throbbing.
Ephesians 4:32; Romans 12:13; Psalm 69-70; 2 Samuel 11-12; 1 Chronicles 20
Corner of right eye still hurts but not like y’day.
6:50 checked church email to check on status of our VBS order as we’ve only recvd part of order. Tried to call but they aren’t open until 9am.
7:00 stopped for breakfast and discovered a Conecah Sausage Co and gift shop. Had to go check it out. People were very friendly. Cool & unique items in store. Bathroom is fancy! Enjoyed the quick visit.
7:40 decided to work on my blog, but will have to wait. I remembered to charge my keyboard but forgot to check to see if my tablet needed charging. Have to wait a little while.
10:30 just finished up posting June 2020 to blog. My keyboard on my tablet is messed up. The letters all work as they should, but the symbols are all messed up. I’m used to using laptop or desktop. Took me a bit to figure out tablet.
11:50 mid morning vitamins taken. Snacking on Mega Omega Trail Mix. This trying to eat closer to Mediterranean style with not feeding cancer in mind is confusing. 😩
1:00 my left shoulder is killing me. 😢

2:18 looking for ideas on head scarves. Found a set I thought was cool. Kept looking for ideas. Came across some that were indicated for night sleeping. It hasn’t occurred to me that my head might get cold. I just don’t want to walk around with a bald head. Lol 🤣 Some of them look too silly to me. Some look predisposed to a certain culture. Some are just plain u-g-l-y! I guess I’m going to need to figure out my own style. 🤔 I don’t even know what size my head is especially without hair? I’ve always thought hats were neat but never had the patient to wear them especially ones with caps – they block my view.
2:30 I’m in great pain. Left shoulder throbbing intensely and feels bruised.
2:45 just had a thought. We might need to have a meeting with the teens and kids at church to explain some of my upcoming treatments and what might be expected. That I’ll have to wear a hat to cover my head due to hair loss until I’m done with the chemo and my hair grows back. That it’ll be okay to ask questions as long as they do it with the right spirit. This way it might not upset them as much and they’ll know how to help pray.
4:45 I just noticed that my arm finally decided to bruise from the blood draw almost a week ago. Lol

Learning what foods to eat and what to avoid. Read some of list to Joe and family. Joe said Amen when I told him we need to switch to real butter. Lol.
5:15 made pit stop to see Jakob & Bri since we pass college on way to hotel. We’ll eat dinner after church tonight.
A lady stopped to say Hi. She struck me odd bcuz she said l, “You look good”. My hair is in sloppy bun and I’m covered in blanket. Then she told Joe he looked okay.
It never dawned on me that cancer patients are supposed to look a certain way?
6:00 We had to do a hotel change. Both rooms Econo Lodge tried to give us smelled like smoke! I started having coughing fit as soon as I walked into first room.
We are now at Comfort Inn behind Econo Lodge. Have to rush to change to meet Jakob at church. My body is not liking this. 😟 I hurt from head to toe immensely. Need a pain pill.
6:44 heading to church. We’re going to be late but at least we will be there. I’m looking forward to seeing Jakob and Bri. Glad we decided to eat afterwards.
8:00 at restaurant, I think I irritated Joe a little bcuz I kept asking about ingredients in different dishes. I’m trying to stay close to the diet. He reminded me that Dr said to eat things in moderation. I told him no bcuz I want to save my splurging for Friday.
I asked Jakob and Bri about what the lady said. They said to pay her no mind because shes not careful with her tongue like she should be. That made me feel little better.
11:40 I’m plum exhausted and hurting immensely. Hope to sleep good tonight. At least it’s cool in room right now.
Thankful for…
1. Safe travels to KY
2. Able to see Nepali missionary ordained
3. Able to spend time with Jakob and Bri for church and dinner
I almost forgot…at the restaurant before we went in Jakob handed me a stack of tracts from Clays Mill. I quickly count (I like to have 25 in my purse at a time. I handed 2 extras to Joe. I thanked him because I ran out on way up. While eating we were there, a family was sitting next to us that were kind of loud at times. The daughter was very disrespectful. I casually mentioned if she was my daughter I’d be whooping her butt. The parents just allowed her to behave bad. As we were getting ready to leave, Rae said they need a tract. I told her that since God laid it on her heart that she needed to do it. She hesitantly did so but was obedient. The father immediately said thank you and then fussed at his kids for behaving badly stating that they had been raised better that family were Christians. To which the daughter immensely hollered I’m sorry.
Exhausted and in immense pain. Pain level a 9. Lord, help me sleep and wake in much less pain.
