Nov 21
400 rough night. My shoulder is hurting something awful . It feels like it’s dislocated again.
Pain has kept me awake off and on all night.

Acts 21-23, 1 Corinthians 1:4-5, 1 Corinthians 15:57

Icing my left shoulder now. It hurts something horrible. If only I could get some sleep.

Made it through the services. We had 8 visitors today. Able to get most of the people to jump in and help especially with the meal.
Thankfully, I can rest the rest of the day. Applying ice pack to shoulder to help ease pain and swelling. Looking for to tomorrow when chiropractor can help.

400 rough night. Woke to excruciating pain in left shoulder. I’m so tired.

Ephesians 5:19,

800a at chiropractor
Dr said he was trying to pych himself out to have to put my shoulder back in place before coming into room. Good news – at some point my shoulder popped back in and was it was only subluxation, but I have injured my shoulder. Shoulder is bruised and swollen. Used acupuncture (8 needles) to help reduce inflammation in shoulder. Inflammation will eventually subside. I’m to be careful with what I do next several days while it heal. No lifting the turkey. Adjusted arm, back, and neck.
Asked why it keeps popping out. He said that my ligaments and muscles are weak. Suggested I work out to strengthen the muscles and ligaments – bench press and military press to start. 5 reps, 2 sets to start if I can handle it. Will check me out in 2 weeks to see how I’m doing.
Said I he was encouraged that my shoulder popped itself back in place.

Took items to Jordon at work that he forgot.
Dropped off recyclables.

Not feeling too healthy. Feel like I have a fever but don’t. Heart is beating hard not sure why.

Curious as to how acupuncture helps reduce inflammation in shoulder after injury?

540 slept better last night than I have in a while. Still really tired. My whole body stiff and throbbing.

Acts 24-46, Psalm 100:4-5, Philippians 4:6

Mom coming over today to help with cleaning the carpet. Carpet in living room and hall were really dirty. Floor looks so much better. Yeah!

Made Jakob’s bday ice cream cake. In freezer before adding toppings.

1030 thought it was later than it is. Heating up lunch in microwave.
Lost appetite halfway through and couldn’t finish. Working on printing Christmas Carol’s songbook for church. Decided to work on blog for little bit.

100 tired and freezing. Put socks on and sitting to rest a while before needing to pick girls up from school. Last day before break.

Left arm and shoulder very sore today making it hard to use much. Icy sensation in center of back penetrating thru to front of chest. Left ear ringing for 5 minutes. Sharp stabbing pain in lft hand but it itches?

Left arm is throbbing intensely. Having trouble moving it.
Feeling flushed. Looked in mirror. Face not red, but I have couple red splotches on my neck and upper chest. Stinging burning pain throughout. Had to get Dezirae to fix my hair.

Great anxiety on road on way to church. Few times I screamed because I thought we were going to collide with another vehicle. Joe fussed at me for screaming. Dezirae said I must be in a lot of pain because that’s when she screams more.

Charlie horse of a cramp in left shoulder. Periodic muscle spasms thru body.
Chose not & encouraged not to play piano for church.
Random loud hiccups.
The spot on lft hand that had sudden sharp pain and then itched now has red dot like something pierced the skin to make it bleed. Also small black bruise about the size of an eraser. There’s also a black streak about 1.5″ going towards wrist. Hmm? My left hand and arm have already been swollen because of my shoulder injury so I didn’t think of anything.

Joe checked my hand out once we got home. Apparently I got bit by something bc it left something behind (it almost looked like a stinger). Joe able to get it out. Had me put black slave (ichthmommal ointment) on  it to draw out any contaminants. Hand sure is sore now too. Ugh. I will take a benadryl tonight before bed just on case.

Center of chest sharp stabbing pain. Feels like my ribs are caught. Bent over to touch toward toes – this usually helps to pop it back. Not working. Had Dezirae lightly step on center of upper back. That helped. Still sore.
Light headache. Vision blurry. While body stinging burning pain. Hands and arms swollen and throbbing. Rt shoulder bruised and hurting. Sharp stabbing pain in elbow has eased some. Low back & rt hip hurts. Legs ache as if ran marathon. Feet and ankles freezing . Put socks on. Under four layers of covers.
