May 12
6:30 woke needing to use restroom. I’m in much pain. Thankfully, my feet don’t feel like I’m stepping on glass. Nerves stinging, burning, and throbbing throughout body. Muscles are stiff and throbbing. Throat hurts. Sinuses seem okay at the moment. Pain level an 8/9.

Song: ♫I will serve Thee because I love Thee♫
Psalm 32, 51, 86, 122; Colossians 1:1;

Pain in lft shoulder still there if I move it wrong. My left shoulder is noticeably swollen.

Proverbs 31:10, 27-28

10:00 attending college picnic with Jakob and Bri. Rae & I watching a softball game. Shared a thought with Rae. When I lose my hair, I can go out in back yard and work on getting a tan on my white bald head. Lol
Went on walk with family. Walked .38 miles for 19 minutes in 913 steps. I’m tired. I don’t think those numbers are quite accurate – phone was in my purse.
12:00 lunch: brisket, baked beans, spinach salad, and watermelon. Drink- ice water

1:05 seeing Jakob’s apartment for first time to drop off his dresser. We’re proud of him. He did good picking their first place out.
Decide to help him bring his & Bri’s stiff from dorms to apartment.
3:30 Joe bring me to hotel to rest a while. I’m exhausted and hurting. Lft shoulder throbbing. I’m trying hard not to be grouchy. Resting as needed. Glad I can help even if just a little bit.

Night vitamins taken.

8:00 rough night. Up and down most of night. Trouble breathing as left nostril clogged. Throat hurts. Exhausted. Hurting all over as if been beaten up.
So exhausted last night that I crashed before finishing journaling.
Took Tylenol sinus.

Proverbs 31:30; 2 Samuel 13-15
Breakfast: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, burnt wheat toast w/whipped butter, decaf coffee

9:30 played back down in bed once getting back to room. I feel plain awful. Took morning meds and vitamins.

1100 went to store to pick up juices and alkaline water for me today. Took me a while to read ingredients because I’m allergic to bananas. Forgot to look for vitamin drops for my throat. I guess I’ll get some later.

12:00 stop at Jakob’s apartment to help him unload. I sat in car to rest. Wish I had my immune eo blend. Listening to wholetones music.

6:20 arrive at the church in order to get seat, but end up more than halfway back.

7:00 I’m amazed at how many of the college graduates have had a loved one diagnosed with cancer. Several of the graduates have met their spouse while at college. Several of the met working on bus route together. Lol.

Dinner at Chili’s afterwards. At first, they weren’t sure if they could seat us due to issue of being short staffed, but they figured out how to help when I told them we were celebrating a graduation.
Taking benadryl hoping it’ll dry up this nose. My head is pounding. Node burns. Ears hurt. I’m exhausted and hurting all over.

Thankful for…
1. Able to attend Jakob’s graduation
2.

5:30 up and down again last night. Trouble breathing. Nasal passages severe congested and stinging.  Face feels swollen. Eyes watering. Bad headache.

Beginning to get nauseous. Sucking on ginger chews.

Psalm 139:13-14

6:00 trouble breathing makes sleep difficult and me miserable. Took Tylenol sinus for sinus pressure and pain. Sucking on menthol cough drop hoping it’ll open nasal passages. Light peeping through crack in curtain hurts my eyes

Took dose of colloidal silver before checking out of the hotel.

Psalm 3-4

9:30 helping Bri’s parents unload U-Haul at Jakob’s apartment. I sat in car while everyone else helped. I still feel miserable.

1030 Joe stopped at pharmacy to get DayQuil and vitamin C drops. I’m hoping they’ll help some.

Made pit stop at BUCS gun shop for Jordon. Remember I needed to take morning meds.

12:30 pit stop at the Corvette Museum.
Walked .32 miles in 1095 steps for 38 minutes

115 DayQuil is wearing off. Time for another dose. Eyes watering much. Nose running. Feel yucky. Told family to ahead and look at the  DeLorean cars and I’ll sit in van.
Took next DayQuil dose. Starting to cough up green junk. Think I need to make Dr appointment on Monday. Ugh.

1:30 lunch – not hungry but know I need to eat. Took noon vitamins.

6:20 talking in the car trying to plan things out in the future – renovation of parsonage, special music schedule, etc. It causes mixed emotions. I’m excited about things moving forward, perplexed about downsizing for moving, saddened about the idea of my possibly being too sick from chemo that I may not be able to sing, thinking I still need to do more delegating of responsibilities for VBS.

God provides a double rainbow in the sky

10:03 made it home safe. Something is missing in my living room. Joe asks what’s missing. I tell him my dishwasher. We go to kitchen. It’s been installed. Mom asked Joe if she could have a friend install it while we were gone. Joe told her yes. What a sweet surprise.
I’m to bed. I feel horrible.
