Category: My Healing Journey

March 28

Rae & I decided to help make face masks for local hospitals for the coronavirus pandemic. It took us a bit to figure out how to make them. Mom decided to help us. Together we made 17.

I also had to do the sewing in periods because it hurt my back to sit in hard chair for long periods of time.

By time guys got home it had taken all day to get them made. Thankful that Joe decided to cook the ribs on grill bc I wasn’t up to it.

I was down for rest of night. I’m hurting to almost tears. Whole body aches. Headache. Shoulders, arms, hands?, entire back, rt hip throbbing like toothache. Feet cold. Center of chest aches.

My spirit wants to do more but my body will need to rest a couple days.

 

March 29

715 woke to burning sensation in legs and feet below knees. Low back throbbing.

921 struggling this morning. Very lethargic feeling. Pushing myself to get going. Feeling bit nauseous.

1000 We had to back up an punt due to the coronavirus. Our church has been meeting only Sunday mornings (we’re a small church), but with new restrictions we are attempting to set up for drive in church this morning. This is all new to us and additional stresses take quite a toll on me post LS.

1030 Bro told me he was realling enjoying the soup I made him though he didn’t know what kind it was. I told him it was homemade cream of mushroom. Said he was able to make three meals out of it and still has more. That really blessed my heart. I’m glad God provides so I can share with those in need.

1230p Service went well. Family pitched in to help set up and everyone pitched in to take it all down. I had to wear earplugs to play the keyboard (ears are sensitive to loud noises) due to having to have it loud enough. We also did services live on Facebook. God gave me grace and though I’m wore out I’m not hurting more than usual right now.

100 Jakob offered to help with lunch. I’m so wore out went and laid down until lunch was ready.

200 back to laying down. Twill take an hour nap and then need to deliver face masks we made for local hospitals

330 took while to fall asleep. Took hour or so nap.

400 Decided to deliver the masks back to Joann’s. Ladies were surprised we were able to make 12 masks out of 1 yard of fabric. Said most are only getting 10. She was even more happy when I told her we were able to add 5 more masks.

530 just as we were getting prepared to head to parent’s house for dinner my nose started bleeding unexpectedly. I really dislike not knowing underlying cause. I haven’t taken Benadryl or naproxen in couple weeks. Bled for about 5 minutes.

900 Jordon helped me transplant the pepper plants and water them. Hopefully this year our garden will be fruitful. Tomato plants are looking good. Cucumbers still look good. I think I also want to try squash but I’ll need another bucket/tote. We’ll see.

1030 low back throbbing. Rt hip throbbing. I’m exhausted and hot. Eyes watery. Mom not feeling good. Praying God’s healing hand upon her. Hands swollen and achy. Lower left leg tourniquet tightening feeling mid calf to ankle. Toes tingly. Skin feels prickly (like you accidentally squeezed stinging nettles plant. Ouch?!). Eyes beginning to feel blurry. Very tired. Stomach feels bloated.

1143 legs burning, nose runny, center chest hurting. Lord please heal Bro Chuck, Pastor Baldwin and others who are sick.

March 26

8.00a headache minimal. Upper torso (chest, shoulders, neck) throbbing & hurts to move. Congested & have cough. Rt ear ringing. Calves ache. Hands swollen and aching. Upper back hurts. Tired. Feet chilly. Muscles feel really tight.

It’s really hard to get motivated to move when you hurt horribly. Tears are leaking out my eyes .

900a pushed through to do my physical therapy exercises. I don’t feel like moving now. I really hurt. Want to go back to bed but need to make sure kids are doing their assigned schoolwork for today.

1100a gave kids their extra chore for tpday: deep clean living room together. This ought to be fun.

Decided my extra chore is transferring files from crate to file cabinet. Took me about an hour due multiple distractions & breaks. Low back & rt hip throbbing awful now.

12:14p I forgot to put dinner in crockpot and it’s already lunch time! Laying down til back pain eased a bit and I’ll have to do that next.

100 stomach pain sharp. Ugh!

130 just had to use restroom and stomach pain eased up. Whew! Now if only my chest pain would ease up.

1050 my heart is heavy. I want to minister to our people but I don’t really know how without putting myself in harm’s way due to my low immunity. I know I can pray  but I want to do more. I’ve made soup for one of our elderly (that’s what he likes to eat) but we weren’t able to go deliver it today.

I pray we can tomorrow maybe.

Also, not sure if Jakob’s coming home or not. His college is not resuming in person classes until after April 20th, but will resume telephone classes March 31st. He has good job and doesn’t want to risk losing it to come home for 3+ weeks due to this junk.

I’m really hurting all over and center of chest is really throbbing. I need to take a pain pill to ease it but In just got my nose to stop bleeding when I need to blow it (which has been a lot due to all the pollen). I’m exhausted and didn’t (couldn’t) hardly do anything today, as I was hurting a bunch. I hurt from head to toe and feel like crying . Hey, these emojis popping up when I type are cute and comical.

Symptoms: headache, neck hurts & muscles feel stiff, shoulders stinging, calves burning & cramping, butt cramping, low back aches, rt hip throbbing, hands swollen & achy, center of chest throbbing, icy burning sensation, heals hurt, feet ache, toes throbbing, exhausted.

 

March 27

1100 able to take Bro his soup today and check on him. He was excited to have company. We kept safe distance. Ended up climbing two sets of stairs. Wore me out.

1230 Joe & Jordon left to go help Jakob. My Uncle was gracious enough to help him get his breaks fixed, but Jakob still wanted his dad to come up. He won’t lose his job and has a job here when he gets home.

300 crashed for two hours. I’m still really exhausted. Chest is throbbing. Eyes watery. Arms hurt.

1125 parents had us over for dinner. Three bean casserole. I couldn’t eat it all.

Rae & I watched hallmarks once back home.

Center of chest throbbing with stabbing pain periodic. I hurt so much.

March 22

253 church gave me card for pastor wives appreciation. I didn’t suspect anything until Joe said we all have to be at church tomorrow whether I’m feeling good or not. Saw Mom with a card. When they presented the card, Joe said that they were planning a big day to show their appreciation but it got partially cancelled due to the coronavirus. Lol ! The church people signed the card. It was nice to be appreciated anyways.

305p went to use restroom. Something red caught my eye on Joe’s night stand. I was having difficulty focusing on item to see what it was ended up tripping and falling into the bathroom sink and bruised my left forearm. Told Joe in case I wonder later why my arm is bruised.

I really hate this memory trouble issue. It makes me feel like I lie (tell false truths because I honestly don’t recall things).

1129 amount of people having covid19 seemingly rising. Rumors that President Trump will issue nationwide are at home order to protect Americans. Three states already on lockdown (NY, CA, & WA). LA will be on lockdown as of 5pm tomorrow. Jakob still in KY. Joe may have to go up and get him. Rumors that nationwide lock down could last as long as 10-12 weeks. Nice. Guess that means I’ll have to homeschool using only curriculum I have on hand. Really wanted Jordon to do the astronomy class next year. It’s expensive so I was waiting to see it go on sale. Praying for God’s wisdom and protection. I definitely don’t have 12 weeks of food stored up.

Upper back and neck stinging throbbing. Arms and hands tingly. Arms & shoulders sore. Low back throbbing. Center of chest throbbing. Rt hip hurts. Stinging in rt foot periodically to point it make foot jump. Lower let leg tourniquet tightening feeling with some numbness. Lft foot burning. Toes tingling.

 

March 23

640a low back throbbing. Calves crampy. Headache. Hurts to move.

800 pain easing as I move to do few things around house.

Today’s chores: wash our clothes, make homemade cream mushroom soup, make homemade bread. Also packed up one box of Jakob’s stuff. That’s enough for me. Whew!?

1015 received word that Wal-Mart had some bread. Limiting it to one per person. I’m over it. Called mom. She was getting ready to go to Costco and asked me to go with her. pray ok my have good night sleep. I’m utterly exhausted

March 20

0600 I hurt worse today than yday. Every inch of my body is throbbing and I have headache to boot. Random sharp needle pain in corner of eyes which makes them water.

955 both legs and feet feel like they fell asleep and are waking…extreme pins and needles sensation entire length. Ouchy mamma!

Notes: it takes 3 months at minimum to get your gutt healthy. Dr. Daniel Fenster believes everyone should be taking a multivitamin, fish oil, & probiotic (10.26). Importance of gutt health is related to mental health.

1. Take look at your life. What are the stressors. Is there anything you can shift or change? Take time to breath & meditate (17:34). Stop and pause a moment.
2. Established a daily routine. Get adequate sleep. Wake up & go to bed about same time each day.
3. The one food you love most. Get rid of bc it generally causes you the most problem (17:55).

1000 God’s been good today. Was given a pan of fettuccini, 2 zucchini, 2 squash, 2 onions, 5 heads romaine, 4 heads of iceberg, and case of sliced mushrooms.

Toes cold. Sinuses congested. No bloody noses today. PtL! Read something today that said nsaids make coronavirus worse. Bloody noses started back up about week ago. Silver lining.

Dezirae kind as she helped make brunch this morning.

1130 Joe inquired if there were mandatory stay home policy put into action do we have enough food for two weeks? I don’t know. Had to De-ice and inventory freezer. Ugh! Not something I was planning on doing.

645a had to take Joe to work this morning bc mine’s in shop. Very dense fog made it difficult to see. Thankful Rae in car with me. Got bit confused as to where to go. Dodged head-on collision in my lane on Sollie. Big pickup truck turned on Sollie into my lane. Scared me. Missed turning on my road to neighborhood.

Lower lft leg & foot muscles twitching. Feet tingling. Rd hip throbbing with sharp pain in butt region. Headache. Woke to bloody nose. Tired and need to rest.

1100a had to go to co-op to pick up files. Had impulse urge to stop at thrift store to look for file cabinet. Found a four drawer one for $10. Yay! Decided to buy black paint to cover rust marks.

1230 stop at store and morning errand wore me out. Came home. Ate lunch and rested a bit.

230 Decided to try painting file cabinet. Half way through my fingers had trouble cooperating. Took me a bit to get project done.

530 few hours later project is creeping up on me. I’m in much pain. It hurts to move. Headache worsens. If only crying would ease pain I would but it won’t so I’m not. Really could though.

700p Can’t get comfortable so I decide to check on some people to see how they’re doing.

 

March 19

800 woke in extreme pain. Decided to take pain rx so I can get out of bed. Whole body throbbing. Dr side stomach muscles spasming…feels rather weird…almost like combination of baby kicking violently from inside and hundreds of butterflies fluttering inside stomach.

It hurts to move. Took me an hour to muster up energy to get out of bed.

Nerves stinging through put body. Have to remind myself that pain let’s me know I’m alive.

1000 worked on establishing a daily routine for our house. Maybe that’ll help me feel like I’m getting back to some normalicy.

1150 need to bring home the Christian counselling paces and start them.

Decided to work thru routine. In doing so, folded clothes for Rae to put away on her bed. Started load of laundry. Arms & hands stinging. Short of breath. Exhausted. Resting for a bit.

In studying for ladies devotions and trying to figure out details to incorporate a Titus 2 ministry, thought came to mind. Maybe it’s good thing I’ve forgot how to do a lot of things bc it gives me fresh perspective on how to start establishing daily routines, cleaning chores, etc.?

1000 got Jordon to clear out broken dresser out of his room. Decided to clean & straighten pantry. Finished Rae’s laundry. Wore myself out. Joe decided to send me to bed after dinner so I could rest bc he doesn’t want me to get sick. It irritated me to be secluded from family. Rae came and watched a movie with me

March 14

1005pm  tough night. Woke several times due to abdominal pain. It got worse when I tried to move. It eased by morning but cramping spans would flair if I moved too much. Took me a bit to be able to get up this morning.

Stayed home to rest from soul winning today. I hated doing so but I could hardly move. Joe ended up cancelling it anyways due to this Coronavirus scare. Media hyping up more than needed.

People need the Lord. I cannot imagine living in that much fear that your afraid to run out of toilet paper. Taking some precautions is good but some people go overboard. I wonder how much media would hype it up if it wasn’t an election year.

 

March 15

1208a I’m wide awake. Congested. Need to blow nose but afraid it’ll bleed again. Not sure what’s cause this tome. Not using benadryl. Stopped using naproxen. I hurt for it too. Tylenol only helps ease headache a smidge. Frustrating.

Hands swollen and throbbing. Eyes watery. Headache. Low back aches. Rt hip aches. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness. Feet tingly.

Praying for Rae as she’s not feeling good. Went to bed early. Sore throat. Headache. Chills. I wonder if there’s a symptom checker.?

630 set alarm to take shower this am. Tried to move to get out of bed and rt side cramp horrobily.

730 read 1 Corinthians 3 &4

1053 home with Rae sick today. Trouble with bloody nose lft side. Can’t figure it out. Feeling quite weak now.

500 took two hour nap. Not feeling so good. Exhausted. Bad dreams kinds of. It’s like my brain is working through all the traumatic events in my life and working them out…maybe it’s God helping my brain to transfer them from muscle memory to brain memory. I know it sounds crazy. Most recent was my first love in college. After we were talking about getting married, I was devastated when I found out the news I did and we weren’t getting married. My brain scanned to loving husband I’m married to today and Jeremiah 29:11. My brain was okay that my past turned out the way it did.

Dezirae starting to feel better. We’ll see how she’s feeling tomorrow. May have to take her to Drs. Current regimine 1500mg Vitamin C, elderberry 2 capsules, and zinc 3xs day. I’m doing same.

1000 feeling quite lousy about now. Whole body aches differently than normal. Center of chest hurts. Headache has been dull most of day. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with some travelling numbness and tingling to foot. Periodix abdominal cramping thru day. Muscles hyperactive spam mode…not sure cause of sudden frequency. If I turn just so sides start spasming and I have to sit still and/or double over until they subside. Coughing. Bloody nose lft nostril all day off and on. Finally found a nasal saline spray to moisten nasal passage to see if that’ll help.
