LS & BC Memoirs – February 24-25, 2022

February 24

4:00 woke to use restroom. I’m in much pain all over. Pain level 7/8. Nerves stinging needle pain and throbbing throughout body. Eyes watery. Sinuses congested. Started praying for people.

4:10 Joe came to give me hug and kiss before leaving for work. Asked why I was awake. Told him I’m hurting really bad all over. He said he wished I’d stop hurting so much, but you did say you did too much y’day. Told him I know me too. God has a purpose for it all but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt in the meantime. He said I know.

4:15 took pain Rx and 2k mg Vitamin C.

Jeremiah 29:11

Gotta get those pesky taxes finished being prepped so we can get our tax refund so I can try to see a different doctor.

Indigestion kicking in. Took 2 ginger capsules and one tums.

Numbers 3-4;

800 Take 45 minute nap

Drink chocolate milk with D.E. and chia seeds. Praying it will give me the energy and stamina I need today.

Trying to get things ready for church tonight as I have a funeral to attend today.

I’m getting floaters in my vision. It’s irritating me more than usual today.

Nice chat with my sister.

1100 pick up gals from school. Attending funeral today for WP. My Dad is preaching. He’s been out of the loop for a bit. Praying all goes well.

It went well. Could tell Dad was out of practice. I think he behaved himself fairly well. Grandma was a bit stressed. She explained what happened later. They ended up asking Pastor Sam to do the welcome and opening prayer. Lynn sent us home with leftovers from the lunch.

We certainly have not been without food. There may have been days we didn’t have things I wanted but never without what we needed. Thank you, Lord.

God provided several cases of shelf stable food at church. Had fun sorting through it all before services. We were able to offer food to the church family after church tonight. ☺️bSupposed to get more food donated tomorrow. Praise God!

1030 trying to study with Rae for exams tomorrow but we’re both falling asleep. Told her we’ll get some sleep and get up early to study.

It’s been a long day. My brain is over taxed and hurting fierce. Exhausted. Nerves stinging througo

throbbing. I hurt from head to toes. Low back throbbing. Neck hurts.

Night meds taken plus 2k mg Vitamin C and 1/2 pill of relpax for the migraine.

Thankful for:

1. God’s provisions

2. Church voted to increase Joe’s pay

3. Able to bless others with food that needed it

 

February 25

530 woken by alarm. Twas having bad dream (going to use bathroom as I approached bathroom I tripped and fell face first into the toilet and busted my face up. Blood everywhere. Not good. I have to have surgery to fix my face.)

Eyes so blurry I cannot read my phone to snooze alarm.

Body very stiff and throbbing intensely. Arms throbbing as if I did an intense workout. Legs throbbing but not nearly as much.

Takes good 20 minutes for eyes to clear up enough to be able to read my Bible.

Matthew 22:37-39; Numbers 5-6; 2 Samuel 23:14

A least my headache has eased.

1000 while working on uploading posts to my blog Jordon is cracking up belly laughing. He decides to play the video he’s watching.

I crack up laughing. Sometimes the auto correct feature is so idiom like!!!

Finished a week of blogs plus a recipe blog for today.

Made couple phone calls – CPA & Dr office

A friend tagged me in a post about someone being struck by lightning through their computer inside.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10160019330131636&id=141321506635

I was able to reply on said post giving some facts and put plug in for a Facebook support group.

Running errands for church with Joe and Jordon. Also looking at laptops for Jordon for college. Took longer than I thought.

Dezirae had to stay after school to register for ACT. Timing wasn’t expected especially with Teen Activity tonight.

Ran home to pick up rest of items then off to church.

Joe got things set up while I started cooking and prepping dinner. Teens enjoyed the walking tacos. Brownies kind of dry. I overcooked them. I’m in so much pain and exhausted. I will not be surprised if I crash shortly after getting home.

Jordon says he’s starting to get concerned about some of the symptoms he’s exhibiting now almost 5 yrs later after the LS – Forgetting things easily, headaches, in pain a lot, not sleeping well, dropsies with his hands, etc. I did my best to console him. 

LS Memoirs – 20-21 March 2021

March 20

Rough night. Kept fighting with the covers. Temperature kept fluctuating. Exhausted. Rt hip throbbing. Stinging pain thru body moderate.

Bible Reading: Judges 6-7;

Trying to get ready for activity at church. Bulletins printed – had to have Rae help me. Salad made. Joe put beef brisket on in crockpot. Jordon hung new mini blind.

Arms fatigued out while curling bangs. Completely wore out putting make up on. Ugh. Need a nap.

700 Joe woke with migraine. He’s been getting them alot lately. Told him he’s missing a mineral.

950 migraine oncoming. Worked on bulletins, answering bible scavenger question, worked on blog a little. Need to pack for weekend.

Head blurring and starting to swirl. Head hurts. Eyes watery. Exhausted.

Bible Reading: Judges 6-7

Need to lay down a piece to ease headache.

No juice today, but drank chocolate milk with chia seeds & D.E.

1200 Joe decided to get to church early. Got things set up. He realized we hadn’t eaten lunch. Ran to DG to get hot pockets. I was appreciative. Wearing out quickly. Had to go lay down for while to have energy for teen activity.

Symptoms: headache, stinging needle pain, lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with numbness to feet, legs throbbing greatly, hands swollen and achy, exhausted, thirsty, body aches from head to toes, center of chest hurting – did too much today.

Took aleve to ease pain. 1/2 Benadryl for sinus issues.

March 21

Bible Reading: Jeremiah 17:7-8; Judges 8-9;

Very rough night. Severe pain in center of chest kept waking me. At one point, I had to get up to see if I could get chest to pop. It popped slightly but not enough. Ended up applying essential oil pain roller to center of chest to get it to ease enough so I could go back to sleep. Low back & rt hip throbbing severely.

700a I’m exhausted and very sleepy. Sinuses congested. Sneezing – I can tell it’s spring time. Eyes watery. Back throbbing. Head hurts. Bad dream. . .

Woke to lft arm and hands pins and needles with tingling sensation. Low back & rt hip throbbing. Chest pain has eased to mild pain. Shoulders ache. Headache. Tired.

Song: ♫ It’s a good day to give thanks to the Lord and sing praises to His name. In the morning we will…♫

Riddle me this? Why does trying to focus on sheet music to play the piano cause such struggle with coordination, blurring of brain and vision, increased headache, etc?

Interesting thought…human trafficking occured in Bible times. Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver. Jesus was betrayed for 30pcs of silver. Hmm? Nothing is new under the sun.

Not sure if it’s a big deal but just noticed that for distance without glasses on I not only lose clarity but also lose color. The 11 on my phone is red with glasses on but off the number is pink and white.

Coordination disorders often result from malfunction of the cerebellum, the part of the brain that coordinates voluntary movements and controls balance.

After church, feel like I’m going to faint. Need to ask Dr why that happens. Need to lay down a while. Decide to listen to wholetones music while laying down. Need to send them a review.

Woke from nap to both arms and hands numbish, tingling, and stinging. Not a good feeling. Still very tired.

I sit in bed for a while hoping to wake up, yet I feel drained of all energy.

Decided to push myself and clean up dead leaves around flower bush in yard. Can’t do them all at once, but one at a time makes a difference as I go. Excited to see the flowers blooming soon.

Symptoms: low back throbbing, hands swollen and achy, slight headache, legs throbbing, stinging nerve pain thru body, toes cold like ice

My chronic nerve pain has been flaring up, but being around friends & family help keep me enouraged

Thankful for?

  • Talked with son in college today.
  • Church family loved on my kids by bringing them candy & cookies today.
  • My husband bought dinner so I didn’t have to cook.
