July 23
5:00 woken from strange dream. Laid awake in bed praying for those who come to mind. Make couple trips to bathroom. Need to continue taking the anti-diarrhea Rx. Need to get back to juicing. Maybe that’ll help.
Matthew 19:14; Isaiah 34-35; 1 Thessalonians 5:8
Stomach hurts. Muscles/nerves feel like their spasming. I’m cold. Feet cold. Eyes watery. Sinuses congested. Headache. Little nauceous. Hiccups. Body stiff and achy. Nerves stinging. Lower left left from 6″ above ankle to foot tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling.
10:00 got up to work on bulletin for tomorrow. Guys couldn’t decide what to eat for lunch so I put homemade shake n bake pork chops in oven. Ended up creating a VBS evaluation form for the workers to assess VBS as well. Having Joe look it over. The smell of the meat is turning my stomach and making me nauceous. I’m going back to bed. Joe finished lunch for everyone. Still having trouble with diarrhea. Getting very nauceous as well. Joe told me to take nausea Rx, so I did. Finally able to doze off for about an hour around 4ish. Got up to work on bulletin. Not able to do a lot at a time today. I’m wearing out more easily. I’m sick of being sick. Cranky. Easily irritated. Feeling a bit lonely. Able to get out of bed to eat dinner. Ate part of a hamburger, tater tots, little pickles, and tomato. Salt on tomatoes tasted good. Had to go lay back down after dinner. I was exhausted.
Dezirae came to sit with me for little bit. We played Skip-Bo together. She told me that the more I lose my hair the more real the idea that I have cancer. She doesn’t like it. Told her I don’t like it either, but we’ll get through this with God’s help.
Headache. Dry mouth. Odd taste in mouth. Slight bloody nose. Lips chapped. Muscles ache. Nerves stinging little bit. Legs ache. Rt eye twitching periodically for few minutes at a time. Watery eyes. Stomach cramps. Exhausted. Lethargic.
Thankful for… 1. Met liquids drinking goal 2. Still have thin layer of hair 3. Played Skip-Bo with Dezirae
July 24
7:45 slept pretty good. Woke to use restroom. Both arms and hands numb and tingling.
Song on mind: Look What God Has Done For You
Psalm 112:5; Isaiah 37-39; Psalm 76; Hebrews 4:12
Headache. Sinuses congested. Took Tylenol sinus. Blew nose. Bloody nose. Ugh. Yawned and lft side jaw cramping.
10:30 diarrhea is still prevalent. Rx taken. Body Armour drunken. Suddenly have a craving for homemade bread. Think I’ll start a loaf in bread maker for lunch. Good thing because crockpot was not turned on. Decided to work on planning dinners for the week. Getting sleepy. Watch church on Facebook. It’s not the same as being there in person.
Fell asleep for about 30 minutes. Head is cold. Decided to put a head turban on. Have strange tingling chilling sensation up and down spine. I’m cold. Tingling is in back of head too.
1:00 Dezirae asks why I have the turban on. I tell her that my head got cold. Jordon replies that’s going to happen. Later, Dezirae says the turban makes me look like a cancer patient. To which I reply, “Well, I am a cancer patient. ”
1:30 able to eat all my plate for lunch. First time this round to eat that much. Tongue is starting to clear too. I’ve been taking two probiotics a day. Think it’s helping.
4:00 family off to church again. Wish I was well enough to go with them. Not sure what time but Joe got a call from Jakob and Bri. Their stranded in Montgomery. Joe and Jordon had to call out of work for tomorrow so they can go rescue them. Praying that our AAA service will allow their car to be towed to our house so the guys can fix his car. Ugh. Lord, please keep everyone safe.
Thankful for. . 1. Able to eat lunch today 2. Starting to feel a little better 3. Able to get meals planned for the week.
