June 27
12:52p finished printing bulletins, decided to roll hair in rollers – took longer than expected bc my hands kept cramping, left hand cramping to elbow.
Exhausted, hurting all over, low back & rt hip throbbing, tickle in throat, feet finally warmed up to room temperature. Rt eye twitching. Mild headache. Sinuses congested. Thirsty – I didn’t drink enough.
6:25 fought with the covers most of night,
Lft ear ringing, whole body hurts, stiff, and throbbing. Joe in lots of pain and grouchy.
Bible Reading: Psalm 74-77, Psalm 14:13, Psalm 103:11-12
1055 my Dad actually asked for a hug this morning. Of course, I gave him one.
1157 I’m so tired. Having trouble keeping my eyes open.
I’m starting to notice a slight reduction in overall pain. Thinking I may start taking suggested dose to see if it helps more.
Still slowly weaning off the propranolol

700 I’m so tired. Skin sensitive making me feel like the Princess and the pea. Whole body throbbing. Feet feel like I’m stepping on broken glass upon standing. Sinuses congested. Stomach hurts. Hands and arms burning throbbing.
Song: I will come by the way of the Cross
Bible Reading: Psalm 80-85, James 1:22-25, Isaiah 52:7
Muscles thru body feel very tight. Stretches to help loosen muscles.
Chin tuck, neck roll (whole roll made me dizzy so did half roll), legs side to side, knee to chin tuck – oh boy what a workout. Ouch!
Prepared for VBS tonight. Decided to work a little on the audit. Trouble understanding instructions so I called tax preparer. She seemed perturbed and snapped at me. Made me cry. I called old previous CPA. It’ll cost us $350ph to have him help us. Overwhelmed.
In trying to text Joe, I accidentally called him. He talked it thru with me and I was better able to understand what to do for first part. Able to get the receipts for contributions copied. Feel a little better. I will work on more tomorrow.
Time to get physically ready for VBS (Mystery Island)
330 forgot I put tea to brew on stove and burnt it. Nerves are screaming. I’m so tired. Need to rest a moment. Dezirae helped get dinner ready.
1140 VBS went well. Noticed some things that need tweaking. I let Joe know.
Ventured onto church lawn carefully and slowly without my cane. Began to lose my balance a few times and had to grab hold of nearby person. Close call. Don’t think I’m quite ready for that.
As I begin to relax for evening, my body begins yelling at me with pain.
Bad headache. Taking Excedrin migraine.
I hurt from head to toes. Lower lft leg just below knee to toes tourniquet tightening feeling with some tingling and partial numbness. Toes tingle. Low back throbbing. Neck throbbing. Exhausted. Just when I think I’ve overcome the constipation issue its not over. Tongue still has a funny looking map with lesions. Sinuses congested. Took pain rx 1/2 pill to ease body pain enough to fall asleep. Nothing seems to take the pain away. The only thing that has even remotely taken edge off pain without wonky side effects my current Dr won’t prescribe.
I think after VBS I’m going to start seeking out a new Dr.

730 sometime during the night while tossing and turning I accidentally punched myself in the chin with my thumb nail. Rt side chin feels like it’s bleeding but it’s not. It stings and feels bruised. I’m so tired and hurt all over. Headache has eased which is good.
Bible Reading: 1 Thess 5:6-10, Psalm 86-89, Romans 10:14-17, Psalm 19:14
Song: I forgot the name or words just remember tune (heard it on Spotify recently)
Had to take a whole bp pill. My bp is up to 131/83 this morning. I have a mild headache but that’s normal. Just starting to feel blah.
I haven’t taken my usual dose of Vitamin C either in last couple days. Need to do that, plus I’m almost completely weaned off the propranolol.

Ears ringing loudly. Whole body stiff and achy. Hands throbbing. Low back aches. Calves and legs throbbing as if tried to walk a mile or two. Feet ache. Eyes crusty. Sinuses congested.
300 I’m starting to hurt really bad. Severe stomach cramping. Feet freezing. Put socks on. Took 4 ibuprofen. Got in bed under covers to warm up. Need to rest up for tonight.
Low night but we knew it might be with some of the kids going to their own churches tonight. Points got messed up and I had to spend time figuring out what went wrong. Ugh.
Noticed on way home in lft side mirror things look doubled, but rt mirror looks fine
I think I got the points figured out.
I’m exhausted. Ears hurt. Headache moderate. Chilly. Rt hip throbbing. Low back hurts. Neck rt side hurts. Legs ache. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling and partial numbness. Indigestion. Took a tums. Need an extra blanket tonight. Feet throbbing. Very tired and lethargic feeling.
