Jan 17

1210p gently trying to stretch out my sciatica pain as I can endure the pain while trying not to cry . Trying to find position I can sleep in.

945 very rough night…hardly slept at all.

1140p tummy gurgling like crazy. Low back & rt hip throbbing but not as bad as yday. Coughing much. Trying to stay hydrated. Continuing to take Vitamin C 4k mg, Echinacea 2 capsules, & zinc 50 mg. Night meds taken.

Diffused thieves oil in house most of day.

Muscles throughout body sting. Stuffy nose. Mild headache. Exhausted. Weak.

Jan 18

1045 woke to both arms severely numb & tingly. Back throbbing. Headache. Still tired. Strange dream. In a strange land searching for something I know not what. Ears ringing.  Sinuses congested. Low back throbbing.

Feels like cough is in chest more. Need to up my vitamin C.

1230 Son has problem with history books not matching up. Student book is older than lesson planner. It’s frustrating both of us. Him bc I’m not making sense though it makes common sense in my head. Me bc I’m having difficulty verbalizing the easy fix and Joe has to interpret for me.

Now my brain hurts like crazy. My vision is blurring. Sinuses contesting more making me cough more which in turn make my whole body hurt worse than it already does. Need to go rest a piece so I can attempt Bible Class with the kids.

900 just finished making bed. I’m wore out, hurting, and exhausted. Rt wrist & forearm throbbing with sharp pain shooting up to rt shoulder. Entire back has burning sensation like it’s on fire!  Chin feels numb suddenly. Strange. Need to rest awhile.

1000p decided to eat pickle. Burned my tongue. Ouch. Tummy hurting now. Pickles are not my friend right now.

Muscles are twitching randomly through body. Doesn’t feel good.

Jan 19

1200a tummy hurts bad. Bloating.

1220 coughing fit ensues. Feels like I’m trying to cough up a lung. It hurts whole body. Took 2k mg vitamin C and night meds.

1000 woke from strange dreams to feeling like my cover weighed like ton of bricks making moving very difficult. Not good feeling to wake to.

Received phone call from Dr office. Confirmed I have covid too. Not allowed back in Dr’s office until I get a negative test result. Can’t get another test until 14 days from start of symptoms and am symptom free. That’s going to be fun game bc some of my symptoms I had prior to covid due to the LS. I’ll continue he to keep Vitamin C saturation high until I feel better. It seems to be helping with some of nerve pain too bc I haven’t taken much rx pain meds last couple days. We’ll see. God is in control.

650 pushed all I can today. Made Dezirae a birthday cake. Biscuits n gravy for brunch. Ordered pizza for dinner.

Cough seems worse but quiets after I take C

I’ve reached saturation but continue bc of the cough. Don’t want to get pneumonia. Hurt all over. Feet freezing up to chins. Nerves sting.

1150 cough keeping me awake. Took 2 TBS Delsym. Applied Vicks to bottom of feet & chest. Applied Nasonex 1 squirt each nostril. Took zinc 50mg, C 2k mg, & night meds. Sucking on hard candy to soothe cough until rx kicks in. Hopefully, I’ll fall asleep soon.

Decided to order 4×6 family photos to put in Christmas cards. Found 50% off coupon. Yay! Love finding deals.

Messaged Joe’s siblings to verify their addresses. Quickly learned that I’ve been out of the loop for the past three years. Kind of frustrating but funny too. I thought his one brother was still working on his house. Learned he’s been done for four years. Ouch!

600p took kids Christmas shopping. Store didn’t have what I wanted to get my person. Bummer. Had to look for something else. Had fun spending time with Joe. Had to get his input for 2nd gift for kids. Still have no idea what I’m getting him for Christmas. What he really wants is out of our budget. Also got the food items I needed for finger foods for our church family Christmas party on Wednesday. Want to attempt making Sausage Pepper Wontons. Looks simple. We’ll see.

Today’s Scripture Valentine: Psalm 119:11

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

11:38a- Trying to balance checkbook. Not balancing. What a chore! Needed to refer back to last month’s statement and discovered that I apparently threw it away. Now I have to reprint it. Ugh! 

12:10a- been working at it for almost an hour brain is blurring eyes too. Need to take a break.

3:00p- finally got checkbook balanced. It was matter of subtraction error along with inverting numbers. Very frustrating, but glad I figured it out. Didn’t plan on it taking most of day. Also, trying to get taxes gathered & ready for CPA. 

7:00p- seeing things backwards. Tink I taxed my brain a bit much today.

7:30p- enjoyed getting hugs from several of the kids tonight at church. I look forward to the hugs. They make my day. ☺ got a sharp stabbing pain in my back while sitting at the piano had to move to pew during announcements to rest back momentarily.  

10:30p- trying something new this year for Valentine’s with my kids – Scripture Valentines. I figure it will challenge my brain and be fun at same time. I’m cutting hearts out of construction paper and writing Bible verses on them and then taping to bedroom doors. I haven’t quite gotten one a day down bc I tend to forget but when I see door and realize the date I check to see how many I need. Spent time catching up tonight so in morning I’ll be on target. I’m even making pkg for son at college and will ship it few days before Valentine’s day as a surprise. Benefits: writing helps with hand eye coordination and focus,  scripture help teach truths of God’s word but helps me recall in mind those I previously memorized but have forgotten, and it shows my kids I love them.

10:53p- wide awake but starting to get sleepy, low back pain, rt hip throbbing, feet freezing, hands ache, rt ear achy, headache, top of head hurts where cyst burst recently (using Frankincense oil), tongue more clear today, but still have ways to go. Think I’ve made more progress in last two days than in whole 20 days of taking Nystatin. Center of chest hurting.

Feb 8

Today’s Scripture Valentine: 1 John 3:1

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

3:30a- woke up with tummy hurting, rt hip aching, hot, trouble holding things

Trouble falling back to sleep until I was able to play soothing music on a timer. 

7:00a- so exhausted hit snooze 3 times. 

9:00a- coconut oregano swish, ate gluten free cereal with milk, orange on side. Sneezed hard now I’m not feeling too good. Feeling very weak. Sitting and sipping hot green decaf tea with peppermint and copaiba oil.  Wonder if I’ve developed an intolerance to milk. Ugh! I hurt all over. Gotta call Lowes. 

Daughter decided to take my temp. It’s 99.5.

9:15a- She proceeds to bring me Vicks and socks. Echinacea, Vitamin C, and zinc. She says, “I’m only doing what you would do for us when we don’t feel good.” What a sweetie. 😊

Told her to give me until 10 am bc I just took my morning meds and almost choked on them. She said ok. 

3:00p- Dezirae & I began painting her room today. Able to get one wall and part of another.  Just want to keep a promise I haven’t been able to do. Told her it’ll have to be in stages as I can endure. She says she’s just happy it’s finally getting done.

4:08p – The upgrading Dezirae’s room continues…

She is so excited! Can only do it in stages, but I plan to keep a promise. 1 1/2 walls painted today.

7:00p- stinging needle pain

8:00p- it just dawned on me I’m supposed to take the car tomorrow to get errands done for church. I haven’t driven the car since it’s been fixed. Joe says it drives different. I’m skittish to drive interstate let alone with a standard. Ugh! Joe calls Mom to ask for me to borrow car. I don’t want to go to Sam’s on a busy day. I don’t do well in crowds. 

10:00p- I’m in so much pain right now. I don’t want to move.

10:35p- took vitamins plus pain rx & melatonin. Headache. Back and arms throbbing. Legs cramping and twitching. I’m exhausted and freezing – under extra blankets though it was a warm day. Dezirae said she was sorry I was hurting, but thankful we are finally painting her room.
