11:30a- Blair specializes in neurologic physical therapy and teaches at the college. She had two students with her observing and interjecting their thoughts. She may even video some of sessions for training purposes and to gage progress. She did series of tests to check strength, dizziness, muscles, and musculoskeletal issues. It was determined that I have musculoskeletal issues, vertigo, fatigue, gait issues, multitasking issues to start. She has more tests she wants to do but didn’t want to overtax me. She took notes whole time and will put together an action plan to discuss next time. For now, I have homework. 1. Note every pain, what I was doing to cause the pain, & what I did to ease pain. 2. Note every time I get dizzy, what caused it, & what I did to ease it. Whew. I thought my notes were already long.  She said I was very organized with my notes. Wished all her patients were that way.  One of tests I had difficulty on. I had to walk and name different animals as I walked. I couldn’t do it. 3/4 way through I admitted I was embarrassed cuz I couldn’t remember any names of animals. It was so hard to talk and walk. I’m exhausted and need to rest a bit.

3:30- thoroughly enjoyed music and preaching. Had 30 today. One person joined church. Able to give him a Bible. My highlight was being asked to join singing group on stage to sign chorus with them. I ended up singing and signing. I almost started crying because I remembered something I had forgotten about…a life time dream was fulfilled…since I was a teenager I’ve wanted to singing with a travelling group. #God is good!

On way home, Joe told me that one of singers commented that I was a miracle. I asked why? Joe said because even though you were struck by lightning you’re still able to play the piano, sing, and keeping going. I just replied, “Oh.”

4:30a- came home flat exhausted. Tailbone throbbing. Sat on heating pad for a while. It helped ease it some. Crashed for two hours. Kids told me to sit an rest and they would put things away.

Dinner was fend for yourself leftovers.

10:54p- I’m exhausted and throbbing in pain. During church, Joe leaned over kissed me on forehead and told me he was proud of me. It finally registered once home after my nap so I asked why. He replied for all you’ve done that last several days and for keeping pushing forward. I said thanks.

7:28a- why do my arms have to hurt so much just for trying to fix my hair? 

12:30a- took kids to Dr for checkups. Jordon had to have x-ray at hospital for scoliosis. Went to Sams to pick up few items. I’m wiped out. Need to rest a while.

3:45p- Fell asleep for couple hours on chair in living room. Tailbone and neck aching. I feel so wiped out today. Keep trying to do little chores at a time. Kids keep telling me to rest. 

Almost dropped a mason jar on floor able to catch it but in doing so caused left side to cramp. Ouch!

Sinuses acting up. Drank chocolate milk with crushed ice, D.E., chia seeds, & Collodial silver.

Lft hand began cramping trying to clear table for dinner. Told Dezirae it was cramping and I was being a baby.

5:30a woken by extreme sharp pain in rt side! Rt hand numb. Feel like I broke fever.

8:00a- whole body aches with pain. Gotta get moving to see I can forget about some of pain. Taking shower was painful and got me out of breath this am. I not understand why it pains me so to raise my arms above my heart.

11:13a- put meat in crockpot for dinner. 1/2 hour later realized that I forgot to plug in crockpot. Think I figured out how to make hydroponics 5 gallon bucket. Had kids help get it put together. Needed to transplant tomato plants. Hope it works.

Hung 2 loads of clothes on line (I know I’ll feel that later. Need to rest a piece I’m already wore out!

2:00p- watched movie. Sweet Inspirations – made me cry. I want to make difference in people’s lives like that woman did.

7:00p- attending graduation at FCS…while watching videos parents put together for the 10 graduate, I became emotional basket case. Our Joe Jr would’ve graduated tonight.  Been thinking about Joe Jr and Charity more lately. Not sure why or what it all means. Kind of feels like I’m reliving it again. 

Excited to see crowd turn out. House was packed. Had to put out additional seating. Got kick out of Bro. Aaaron get excited over the crowd. Thought they did good job handling it all.

10:38p- a little taken back by people asking how I’m doing as well as a couple even said they enjoy following my posts. I guess I need to figure way to do better on keeping up with posts on progress. Currently looking for new Dr’s but funds are limited. If I could get just one Dr who cares to listen and learn with me towards healing and affordable. I’d be grateful.

Maybe need to think of how to post without gory details. Maybe indicate trigger warning. I’ll have to pray about it. I didn’t realize people were actually following me that closely. Wozerz! 

A lady said she loved how we redid floor at church. Asked how I came up with it. Told her I was just trying to use resources we had around church. Another lady couldn’t believe it so I shewed her a picture. 

I didn’t think people paid much attention to me. I’m kind of stunned. Don’t know what to think but to God be the glory! Not wanting to sound all spiritual bc I’m not. Lord knows the battles I’ve been facing. I’m just a sinner saved by grace who wants to point others to Him. He alone is my strength and shield

Psalms 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

11:00a- though frustrated and scared, God allowed Jordon & I to lead a man to Christ today. Jordon did great keeping me calm and moving forward when I wanted to panic and run away when we encountered large dog barking even though he was chained and fenced! 

I’m exhausted and hurting but have to keep going. Have to direct church people in helping me get church spruced up for our Homecoming tomorrow. So wish Joe could be here but he also needs to work to provide for family. He does his best and for that I’m thankful though I don’t show my appreciation as I should at times.

1:00a- out to pick up cake for tomorrow. Decided to stop home to put food in crockpot so I don’t lose meat and grab my steam mop I forgot to grab earlier. Brain is not working right.

10:00p- family jumped in to help me make fluffed eggs, coleslaw, and purify water for tomorrow while I finished worship bulletins. Dezirae helped with kids puzzle and fillers in bulletin.
