12:08 rt ear ringing for a minute or so. Thirsty. 6:30 rough night. Trouble sleeping due to overall widespread pain in body. Temporarily forgot the neulasta device was in my arm and pushed on arm wrong causing pain in arm for few minutes a couple times. Used restroom a few times. I’m exhausted. Slight headache. Woke few times I’m a sweat as if I broke a fever.
Song: Great And Mighty Is the Lord Our God still playing in my mind. Thank you, Lord.

Prayers for my DIL as she got hit in the head at work y’day with a metal shelf. Drs ruled it as a mild concussion. I purposely stayed awake till I heard from them to see how she was. Prayed through the night for her.
10:00 need to get up and eat something plus drink some fluids. Everything I eat or drink right now seems to be giving me indigestion. Tummy hurts. Took 2 ginger capsules, sucked on ginger chew, took Tums to no avail. Wondering if some low-fat chocolate milk with chia seeds will help.

3:09 thing on arm is making noise . Had to ask Joe what it’s supposed to do next. I can’t remember.

5:00 working on VBS things and bulletin for tomorrow. Frustrated because couldn’t open a file bcuz the laptop doesn’t have the program. Had to open it on another computer. Also, had to redo a word doc bcuz the one previously created wouldn’t open.
7:00 able to eat some dinner. Tried the ribs and couldn’t. Mashed potatoes and carrots were good. I’m wore out and need to rest a while. Looked up blood test results

11:05 pushed myself to get bulletin done and printed. I’m beyond exhausted and have widespread pain. Headache. Bedtime vitamins taken as well as pain rx.
Thankful for…
1. Jakob and Bri safe travels
2. Have couple more items to do and will be ready for VBS.
3. I haven’t vomited today. Got a little nauseous, but not too bad. I think mostly from indigestion.
4. Jehovah provides

6:00 very rough night due to extreme pain throughout body – most severe pain in arms. Woken a few times (lost count) from entire arms and hands going numbish and tingling bad. Makes me thankful for the days my pain is less severe. Ended up taking beanie off head because it got too hot. Joe rubbed my back for a while until his hands started hurting. It felt good, but my arms are still throbbing. Took 4 ibuprofen for the pain.

Pulse 82; BP 117/80 9:30 wrote in scripture journal and posted couple posts on blog. Getting sleepy. Put on wholetones music. Slept for about 40 minutes.
11:00 getting funky taste in mouth that’s starting to make me a little nauceous. Decided to make peanut butter toast and grab a body armour drink. Need to keep hydrated if nothing else. Peanut butter tastes off to me.

5:50 I’m so tired and hurt so much. There are times that the pain is so much that it feels like my legs are going to give way as I attempt
