Lightning Strikes Memoirs 13-14 January 2021

Jan 13

500a Joe still sick. Bad dream (follow up Dr visit. Bloodwork showed some level elevated indicating oncoming heart attack. Level was 54 not under 45. Dr’s decided to admit me to hospital for observation. Didn’t want to go. Had to strap me to gurney. Once there I kept sneaking out of bed to visit other patients. Dr’s not happy.)

Whole body stiff and throbbing. Left nostril clogged making difficulty to breath.

Took Tylenol sinus, C, zinc, & Echinacea. Applied Vicks to bottom of feet and chest. Feel like I got ran over. Ugh.

630 trouble falling back to sleep. Tummy hurts.

1030p temple headache with vice grip feeling around head. Fatigued. Sensitive to lights & sounds. Tummy hurts. Watery eyes. Runny nose. Severely congestion.

Looked it up. Possible migraine. Guess I’m learning more about migraines.

1253 tummy hurts so bad I’m miserable. Constipation. Just drank 1/2 cup coffee hoping it will help stimulate nerves. Didn’t drink morning bkfst shake bc of congestion but I’m suffering otherwise.

Center of back freezing sensation suddenly. Head still pounding. Congestion has eased some enough I can breath some.

600a fell asleep after 1am. Still have migraine. Taking Excedrin.

 

1000a very rough night. Headache eased but not migraine anymore.

Made sure I drank breakfast shake (8oz almond milk, 2 oz whole milk, 2 TBS chia seeds, 1 tbs peanut butter, 1 tsp chocolate syrup, 7 ice cubes)

Chia.seeds have multiple health benefits. They are full of nitrients, antioxidants, full of fiber, high quality protein, etc.

1200p finally able to use restroom. Tummy feels little better.

800p able to work on grades a little,  wash load of clothes, and put up turkey bone broth. Wore me out for rest of day. Headache increases.

 

Watching movie “The Rocket” it’s about a kid who endures a tragic head injury and loses his dream to play football in high school. He then has to find a new focus in life…running.

I can resonate with the kid in movie. Not only am I still dealing with multiple issues left from the lightning strike, but also I feel as if I’m reinventing a new me. The old me died that day and I’m desperately trying to find the new me or my new focus in life all while still trying to juggle what the old me did and this me wonders how in the world did I ever balance it all?! But for the grace of God I press on.

 

1000p tried to sit on my rt leg but my rt thigh cramped intensely!!! Had to adjust position quickly.

 

1130 head pounding. Eyes hurt. Congested. Feel horrid. Tired. Nerves hurt. Low back throbbing. Hands ache. Sinus pressure in face is aweful.

 

Applied Immune Boosting EO roller on wrists, back of neck, & bottoms of feet.

EO’s included are peppermint, frankinsense, thieves, & lemon oils mixed in carrier oil.

650 overslept. Strange dream – I was reliving David & Goliath story but in modern day I was a congresswoman facing off against Pelosi. Joshua 1: 9 repeating in head.

Whole body achy & stiff. Low rt back still has intense pain like I fell and bruised it deeply. Bending over causes intense pain. Moving slowly.

I personally take B vitamins, magnesium (500mg or more), Calcium with D3, turmeric, etc. I’ve taken alpha lipocic acid, but didn’t notice much difference at the time. One of my doctors gave me Cognitex Basics which helped with brain function too. Need to get more.

315 slept maybe half hour pain kept me awake.

830 exhausted. My head feels swimmy like it’s floats in mucus.

750a woke late. Slept hard once I fell asleep. Could sleep longer but need to get moving.

10a sat on floor to try to help Rae with math. After little bit tailbone felt like someone hit it with a sledge hammer. Told Joe I may be injured but at least I’m still mobile. Lol.

230p realized I didn’t have my phone. Didn’t know if I dropped it in store or left at friends house. Began to panic. Tried to call hoping it was at friends house but she didn’t answer. Wasn’t sure I had right number. Went back to her house. It was there thankfully. Sigh of relief.

I’m exhausted and wanting to go home but Joe asked me to take Rae to phone store so she could get her new phone.

Need to also pick up Joe’s rx. Dr confirmed sinus infection.

All this running around is taxing on me. I’m not feeling so good myself now. Need some rest.
