April 28

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 20-22

Woke to much pain throughout body.

April 29

300 woken by intense burning pain in arms, hands, legs, and feet. Sinuses severely congested. Bad headache. Had to take tylenol and 1/2 Benadryl to get some relief.

Took couple hours to fall back to sleep.

700 woke thinking I overslept. Still in much pain. At least headache has eased a little.

Bible Reading 2 Kings 23-25, Psalm 51

1200 worked on completing Jordon’s grades and submitting them for graduation. Brain is tired, legs below knees tingling and burning, feet & ankles freezing. Need to rest.

Just went on trip last weekend and haven’t been able to rest and recoup. I’m hurting quite a bit, but praise I’ve not had a migraine since I started taking a Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) supplement.

Dezirae and I finished up at Lawana’s house for her daughter, Gaynor, this week. The Estate Sales people take over now. It’s seams surreal and bittersweet.

We were able to lead a teenager boy to the Lord during counseling last night. Praise the Lord! I’m hoping he will ring the bell in church tonight.

Today devil is fighting thru some people that know better. The natural man wants to reach out and touch someone, but I know I can’t.

It’s all just catching up and hitting me at the same time. Lol. I’ll be okay just need a day to rest and relax.

Was supposed to attend another funeral tomorrow, but Joe is letting me off hook and will take Jordon with him instead so I can rest. He’s even going to cook dinner for me tomorrow

11:00p Praise! The young man that got saved rang the bell in church tonight.

 

April 30

700 saw Dezirae off on her trip with Grandma, cousin, & aunt to see her Great Grandma.

Legs below knees to ankles burning, stinging, throbbing pain. Feet cold and tingling. Eyes watery. Sinuses congested.

Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 1-2

In much pain and feeling very lethargic today. Thankful to be able to rest today.

Went back to bed until 10am. Probably could sleep longer but won’t.

Thunderstorm began about 11am. Glad we postponed Jordon’s pics.

500 Joe cooked Bbq ribs , mixed veggies, and tator tots.

723 researching benefits of Gaba

“various lifestyle and genetic factors can throw GABA out of whack” what about traumatic experiences like a lightning strike? Hehe.

930 going to bed. Exhausted and did hardly anything today.

In so much pain, stinging burning throbbing pain throughout body. Low back throbbing burning. Took Gaba – 1 capsule – to calm brain and nerves. Hoping it helps.

Taking tylenol to ease pain so I can get some sleep.

Tummy hurts from eating sugary foods today. Ugh! They are not my friend.

Thankful for…

  1. A caring, loving family
  2. To be alive
  3. Even on bad days, I can put my trust in Him.

Migraine began easing within 20 minutes of taking ginger. Thank the Lord.

1000 attending funeral today have mixed emotions…sad because I’ll miss her…peace knowing she’s not going to suffer anymore and I’ll see her again someday. Frustrated bc of certain people’s fake facades knowing how they’ve been acting behind the scenes. Honored that the family wanted us to take part in the services. Anxious yet happy bc I’ll be seeing people we’ve not seen in a while.

Moderate headache. Neck hurts. Lights bothersome. Hands throbbing. Low back throbbing. Rt hip aches. Legs mid-calf and lower feel like they’re wrapped up tightly in barbed wire. Legs pulsating stinging throbbing pain. Eyes hurt. Tired. Brain is mush. Not speaking right…

 

April 8

330a woke with brain going 100 miles per hour. Keep trying to pray but my thoughts are too loud in my head. Head hurts.

My body stinging throbbing. When ever I heard the rumbling of the thunder it makes my nerves tense up and the pain increases.

Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 13-15;

4:18 electricity flickered just before lightning

700 finally fell back to sleep. Slept about an hour.

April 9

Took relpax. Can’t sleep. Whole body stinging.

Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 16-18

600 still wide awake. The pain is relentless and will not be ignored.

900a Dr apt. Computers are down. They’re having to do things old school – write it down on paper. Lol.

Bp 115/74 w211. Drs scale registering that I’ve lost 9 lbs. Yay!

Dr slowly coming around. Glad to hear of my improvements. Is okay with my experimenting with PEA and CBD oil w/out hemp. Blood work drawn and urinalysis. Rxs refilled. Says she’ll reduce the Dexilant from 60mg to 30mg. Follow-up in 6 months unless something comes up with labs.

350 homeschool Mtg with new cover school for next year went well. Dezirae excited. Ran errands for church. Stopped for treat at Marble Slab. Allergy symptoms as soon as I finished my ice cream. Definitely a milk intolerance. Still a nice treat.

Home and exhausted. Jordon sweet to help me out of vehicle so I don’t twist my knee again.

Lft knee hurts on top of everything else hurting. Migraine has eased but still have slight headache. Need a nap.

Laid down for about an hour. Didn’t fall asleep for long maybe 20 minutes.

Dezirae made dinner clam chowder and grilled cheese. Probably not a good choice with all that dairy products but it tasted good.

800 decided to take hot Epsom Salt bath. Soaked for an hour. Tired and ready for bed but indigestion is horrible and tummy hurts on top of everything else. Ugh.

 

♫ In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face

While the storm howls above me, and there’s no hiding place

‘Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry

Keep me safe till the storm passes by

 

Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more

Till the clouds roll forever from the sky

Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand

Keep me safe till the storm passes by ♫

As the thunder roars this morning, this song comes to mind and I’m thankful that my Lord keeps me safe amidst the storms in life.
