May 13

Broken sleep. Woke with both arms and hands numbish and tingling. Sinuses congested. Thirsty. Whole body stiff and achy. Legs throbbing. Tired. Surface of mid and upper back stinging. Low back throbbing.

Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 9-22, Proverbs 31:30

Interesting tidbit Solomon’s downfall possibly began when he started multiplying 666 pieces of gold in a year (9:13). Did the $ or the women turn his heart from God?

Slow moving today. Sorted pots and pans to take some to church to use there.

Decided I was hungry for Raisin Bran. Used 1% milk. Instant sinus congestion. Hope I can get this under control soon.

Try to work on blog and can’t find Joe’s laptop. I need it for the PowerPoint program. Ugh.

Legs hurt so bad they feel like they’re about to fall off.

300p taking 30 minute nap. I’m tired. Center of chest starting to throb with sharp pains keeping me awake. Remembered that I forgot to take ibuprofen today. Took some.

500 dinner didn’t cook right. Ugh. Have to cook the meatballs in microwave.

600 scatterbrained and having difficulty understand what people are saying. Having to make them repeat it several times.

700p rt hip throbbing. Head hurts.

Managed to get pkg in mail (which mailman didn’t bother to pick up. Grr!), & Homecoming postcards labeled and stamped.

1109o sharp pains in chest again. I’ve got to figure out how to remember to take the ibuprofen regimen consistently so I don’t have to go to Drs.

May 14

600 woke momentarily not knowing were I was nor what day it was. Center of chest sharp pain. Took Naproxen.

Whole body sharp achy pain. Sinuses congested. Arms throbbing like I worked out. Eyes watery. Headache. Very tired. Hands swollen and achy. Mouth dry and thirsty. Rt hip aches. Toes tingly.

Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 13-17, Psalm 139:13-14

400p put tea on to make sweet tea for company, but forgot about it. I burned the water. So embarrassed. Lol. It was funny though bc Joe said he smelled bread. I said I wasn’t making bread. Then I smelled something burning.

930p neck popped. Rt ear clogged and ringing instantly.

March 15

500 woke burning up but no fever. Dr hip throbbing. Mild headache.

Bible Reading: Joshua 16-18, Psalm 7:11, Psalm 73:25-28,

Wore out after burning papers, and putting load of clothes in washer – laid down to rest a while. Listen to wholetones music while resting. It helps me relax. Music is soothing to my brain and being.

Realized I hadn’t balanced checkbook this month yet and decided to do it. After 4 hours checking & rechecking 10xs & using computer to help calculate. I’m down to $.10 off. I quit!!! My eyes and brain are blurred and hurt. Found several mistakes I was able to fix though. I hate when I can’t find error.

Symptoms: low back throbbing, multiple muscle spasms in legs simultaneously, whole body stiff and achy, center chest throbbing with mild icy feeling, arms ache, hands throbbing, tired, mild sinus congestion, stinging pain in arms, hands, torso, & feet-ugh!, brain & vision blurred, headache worsens, irritable and on edge, exhausted, lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling as if someone/thing was squeezing my leg, stinging, burning, throbbing pain in legs.

Took Tylenol for headache in am. Sleepytime tea, benadryl, & naproxen at bedtime and pm meds. Forgot to take am meds.

March 16

Joe woke me out of deep sleep. I haven’t slept hard like that in long time. Still tired. Legs still throbbing. Hands and fingers numb and tingly. Headache. Lights bothersome.

Fog very thick making it more difficult to see with all the bright headlights. Can’t get over how much traffic is on roads at 6:30 am. Seems to have tripled overnight in last few days. Road work people took stop sign down at end of our street making it difficult for me to see our road. Missed my road and had to turn at next road 2nd day in row. Ugh! Kid waiting for bus is going to get hit if he’s not more careful. At least I.could see his red jacket today.

Bible Reading: Joshua 19-21, Psalm 143:1-5,

Listen to wholetones while taking nap.

Breakfast: Ate scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Worked on writing devotional for my blog. Worked on cleaning out closets. Lost track of time. Hospital visit. Friend making progress in stroke recovery. Forgot to text TBI coordinator back to confirm visit for tomorrow so not sure if she’s coming or not.

In much pain today but able to ignore for short periods but very scatter brained. I don’t like it one bit.

While I was preparing meds for week, realized I misplaced my migraine prevention rx I just had refilled last week. I remember taking rx bag out of car but I cannot for life of me remember what I did with it. I start to panic bc it’s not cheap rx. I stop to pray and text Joe to pray as well. I text my daughter to ask if she recalled. She does not but offers to pray as well. I try to retrace steps I could remember – nothing. I call pharmacy and they confirm I did pick it up. Ugh! I pray again. I look everywhere in house I think I may have put them. I begin to scold myself but them Holy Spirit gently reminds me that won’t help. After 30 minutes or so, I choose to give up momentarily to finish prepping meds I do have. While doing so, I look over on night stand. Lo and behold they are sitting on night stand! Hiding in plain sight. I feel sheepish. Thank the Lord for His help.

Symptoms: headache, sinuses congested, stinging needle pain in legs, hands throbbing, muscle spasms random thru body, low back throbbing, lower legs tourniquet tightening feeling with numbness & tingling to toes, moderate to severe pain in center of chest, legs ache, severe indigestion. Severe pain must be indication of bad storm in next day or so. In exhausted.
