April 25

early this am before he went to work Joe rubbed my back. Felt good because my muscles have been twitching/spasming randomly for several hours.

7:00a- I’m freezing. Rt hip throbbing like toothache. Neck hurts. Eyes watery. Throat hurts a little. Rt arm numb when I woke. Upper back hurts.

​ Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psalms 57:1

Interesting this was my first verse in Bible reading this morning.

906a My Grandma has been teaching my Mom, daughter, and I how to quilt while she has been visiting. She still quilts by hand!

It takes me a little over an hour to hand stitch this square – that’s just the inner and outer circle til my hands and wrists are too swollen and painful to do any more.

#makingpreciousmemories

3:00- went to Mom’s to help on quilt for a bit. Neck throbbing. Rt hand swelling.

4:28- Neck very painful throb. Upper back hurts. Muscles tense and spazing randomly. Thunderstorm. Laying down in “safe place”. Headache. Bright lights bother eyes. Hands swollen and hurting. Charging phone in case power goes out.

7:15p- last hymn before offeratory I flubbed up big time. I forgot how the tune went so I started playing a different tempo. Ugh! Don’t know where that came from. So embarrassed! At least my church family has been supportive.

Rt hip throbbing. Neck throbbing. 

10:30p- eyes burning and watery, calves throbbing, body aches, neck throbbing, hands swollen and achy, feet cold 

April 26

9:00a- woke around 7:30a but I hurt so bad all over that even my eyelashes hurt! 

1216p – Tried to express a concern at Sam’s Club regarding having to chase wheelchair down at customer service desk instead of them being at front door. (Today is a high pain day for me) Lady tells me I have to call corporate office to complain.

Businesses only think about bottom dollar not customer courtesy. If they want disabled people’s money, they better include them too.

It was suggested that I…”This is completely unacceptable and flies in the face of the Americans with Disabilities Act!!! You better not contact their HQ…you better contact the US DOJ! This will get their attention faster than anything else! Ada.complaint@usdoj.gov – phone 800-514-0301″

1:00p- ate lunch at Sam’s. Frustrated because we had to chase down a wheelchair. Tried to express concern at service desk.  Lady tells me to call home office to complain. Ugh!

1:35p- heading to optical place the clutch goes out again. Have to wait for tow truck. Ugh! Able to call my dad to come pick kids and I up while Joe waits with car. I got my new glasses finally. 

5:25p- dinner at parents. My Grandma tells story of when she was 5. My great grandpa traded his 3 shot guns for boxcar lumber to build a one room house with no plumbing and no electricity for mom, dad, and 6 kids at the time (June, Donna, Ralph, Roger, Bernard,  Evelyn) [Betty, Billy, Edward, Margaret, Elaine]

7:00p- I’m exhausted and hurting. Sitting with heating pad on back. 

10:23p- I was hoping the most painful days were behind me. Apparently not. I hurt all over. Center of chest throbbing !!!

April 21

5:00a- Its too early. I’m still tired. Muscles twitching throughout body. I hurt all over even headache.

6:00a- I don’t like my outfit. My blouse is wrong shade of blue. Dezirae to rescue. She remembers dk blue top in spring tote. 

Joe asked Dezirae to help me roll my hair. My arms ache so much.

9:30a- hope I remembered everything. Praying for visitors at church today. 350+ eggs filled with candy for the kids. Wow! 

Trouble concentrating on playing the music. Keep messing up! Ugh!  

Lord, thank you for this day. Thank you for your sacrificial love! Thank you for loving this cracked pot that You are molding into Your likness that others may know You. 

2:30p- just getting home from church. Headache and sore from head to toe. Feeling faint…crashing for a little while no phone included.

5:45p- Joe picking on me because he thought I was playing a game on my phone. I replied “No! Someone emailed me so I’m checking my texts!” Lol!

7:19p- found out that my great great grandma moorehouse used to play piano for church. 

821p Thought I’d share a funny store in case you need a laugh…

Yesterday Joe, my husband, asked me if I needed anything (He was at work). I told him I still needed a few things for tomorrow (Easter Sunday). He asked what we need. Told him I was making a list as I go (I was cooking ahead for Easter Dinner at church) and texted him list I had so far…which included socks.

Joe asked me what I needed socks for. Told him for kid’s Easter baskets. He told me that I made him laugh. (I laughed but was serious because I forgot to give them socks for Christmas.)

Joe told me that when he was laughing another officer walked by and asked why he was laughing. Officer asked him to tell him why he was laughing.

Joe asked officer what is suppose to be in Easter basket?

Officer replies, “Candy, of course.”

Joe says, “Well, my wife wants to put socks in our kids Easter basket.”

Officer asked, “Why does she want to do that?”

Joe proceeded to explain to officer that I had forgotten to give the socks at Christmas.

Officer asked,” Who forgets to give out Christmas presents?”

Joe says, “My wife.” He proceeds to explain about my being struck by lightning and have a brain injury and forgets alot. She bought me a Valentine’s day present but can’t find it.

Officer cracked up laughing. Officer told Joe, “Thanks, I needed a laugh today.”

At least in my confussion and memory lapses, we can laugh it off. Glad it’s helping others too.

11:00p- I’m freezing all over!!! Feet like ice. Joe says my body is burning up as if I’m running fever but my forehead is cold to touch. Makes no sense.

April 22

7:30- rt arm numb and tingly, cotton mouth, headache, body aches, low back throbbing, rt hip throbbing

10:00a- I almost forgot to take my am rx & vitamins. Gorgeous day outside. Decided to hang sheets online. My arms are cramping! Feeling kind of shaky and weak now.

April 19

4:00a- woke to sharp stabbing pain in lower rt back & hip, headache, eyes watering, left foot and ankle throbbing.

5:56a- hands swollen and achy, lft hand numb, pain shooting down both legs

6:30a- not falling back to sleep guess I’ll get up. Wash load clothes, made waffles for breakfast, made more diy bisquick mix, 

10:00a- 4 generations went together to get our nails done today. This is treat. It’s been several years for me and Dezirae’s first time!

Lady was very nice. Color I picked wasn’t color I thought it was so she let me pick two colors to get effect I desired. Nail filing process was a bit painful for me. I managed to not holler. When she got to middle lft finger, it shot sharp pain up arm! I thought I would jump out of my skin. Held it together though.

340p Praise report: A couple times a month I attend a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) support group. I was told that most TBI’s are sustained from auto accidents, domestic abuse, etc., but I was first one they encountered that was from a lightning strike. The group gladly accepted me. It’s been challenging at times, but rewarding to be able to exchange experiences and people actually get where you’re coming from to an extent.

Anyways, I’ve been expressing my concern about the need for physical therapy to help with balance issues and help knowing type of exercises that would help me regain some of strength I’ve lost. Dr’s have been telling me to just live everyday life because they don’t know what to tell me.

This past week I requested mtg with the cordinators of the TBI group. I let them know what had been going on. They told me they might have an avenue with local college professors and students in physical therapy dpt. I received word today that they are willing to help me! Their schedule is busy right now, but I’m to call to make an appointment for initial evaluation and then work from there.

This is a HUGE answer to prayer! I’m not certain of expense just yet, but I’m praying God will touch their hearts and do it pro bono.

If you feel like no one is listening, keep on sharing your story. The right people will hear eventually!!!

Suggested that it could be a gait issue:

Update: I rcvd email today confirming that they are willing to help me with some physical therapy. They asked what specifically I would like help with (I don’t know how to express what’s all going on). Next step is to set up an appointment for initial evaluation. This is HUGE for me! I feel like I’m finally being heard. Thank you, Lord!   An appt has been officially set for May 22nd! Even better they’re going to do couple sessions pro bono! Thank you, Lord!

Officer asked, “Why does she want to do that?”

Joe proceeded to explain to officer that I had forgotten to give the socks at Christmas.

Officer asked,” Who forgets to give out Christmas presents?”

Joe says, “My wife.” He proceeds to explain about my being struck by lightning and have a brain injury and forgets alot. She bought me a Valentine’s day present but can’t find it.

Officer cracked up laughing. He asked Joe how he was handling it all.

Joe told him that he’s handling it okay. Ever so often I get fed up with it all blow up and then I’m fine for a while.

Officer was surprised how well Joe’s handling it all. Officer told Joe, “Thanks, I needed a laugh today.”

If only I could figure this all out. Think it’s time to see second opinion.
