LS Memoirs – 28-29 March 2021

March 28

Woke stiff and achy all over with top half of body in extreme pain. Toes still feel very cold but not like ice. Hands throbbing. Legs stinging. Rt hip aches. Sinuses congested. Sneezing. Rt hand and wrist feel very swollen like when I injured it playing volleyball as a teenager.

My heart and mind are filled with gratefulness because I am starting to remember more things. A few tears  escape my eyes. Thank You, Lord, for the great things You have done for me.

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 4-8; Psalm 13:6; Psalm 4:7-8

Torn between two songs Looking Through His Eyes & The King Is Coming.

Headache concentrating in back center area of head with periodic stabbing pain.

Heard of little boy in hospital with swelling of brain from fall. Reached out to the mom to try to be encouragement.

Took long nap. I was exhausted.

Hi there , how are you feeling? I’m feeling gloomy

Sorry to hear that! What activities made you feel gloomy?

weather, Health

Things make you feel gloomy:

  • Most of day had moderate pain but able to ignore for brief periods.
  • After lunch, tummy bloated and started hurting.
  • Took long nap due to feeling exhausted. Thunderstorm in afternoon increased pain. Sinuses congested. Constant post nasal drip thick and irritating back of throat.  Drinking lots of water to keep it flushed.
  • Once home, pain in center of chest intensified immensely causing tears and moaning. Bent over to touch toes and chest popped some easing pain ever so slightly. Later burped and it eased some more. Took Naproxen to ease pain.
  • Whole body aches and stinging pain once again increases.

Highlight of day was church family taking time to express their appreciation for all I do at church. Gave me a basket of goodies and sent our family out to lunch.

P.S. I’m getting tired of only having one vehicle. Lord please give us wisdom and provide the need.

March 29

Woke at midnight with indigestion so bad I was gasping for air. Had to sit up and get to bathroom because I needed to use the bathroom as well as vomit. Stomach acid burned esophagus coming up. Joe jumped up asking what’s wrong. Able to get out in between gasps for air that I couldn’t breath. This went on for about 15 minutes.

Took ginger capsule and sucking on ginger chew to ease stomach. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to sleep soon.

500 my whole body stings. It hurts to move. I don’t want to get up. Throat hurts. Drinking water to soothe.

630 back home from dropping of guys at work. Decide to transfer laundry and throw in another load of clothes.

650 exhausted and feet are begining to feel chilly. Body is stinging. Need to rest little while. Set alarm in case I fall asleep.

Bible Reading: 1Samuel 9-12;

Juice: 21 baby carrots, 2 apples, 1 orange, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp turmeric

1000p made brownies for Easter box sending to Jakob. Found him some collar stays. Bought some peeps. Not sure what else. Thinking about it…not actually sure what I’m doing for us this year. We are watching our sugar intake so all that candy isn’t appealing

Symptoms: throat still sore from acid burn, headache, sinuses congested and seasonal allergies acting up, hands throbbing and swollen, upper back hurts, shoulders ache, low back throbbing, rt hip aches, tummy slightly bloated, legs ache, feet sting.

Goal done: Jordon’s 3rd quarter grades done and submitted, 1/2 of last ASL test written, brownies made, finished buying Jordon’s Easter outfit, discovered I missed deadline for submitting info to newspaper for April, sewed new velcro on Jordon’s hat for work.

Overall it was a good decent day.

Hi there , how are you feeling? I’m feeling just fine

What activities made you feel just fine?  Health , Food , Sleep , weather

List down why these things make you feel just fine:

  • Woke at midnight with indigestion so bad it made me sick. Also, sinuses so congested woke choking for air.
  • Whole body aches. Headache. Stinging pain in back. Exhausted.
  • Able to transfer laundry and start new load before purely exhausted and needing to rest a while. Set alarm just in case I fell back to sleep. Ended up snoozing few times.
  • Remembered 3rd quarter grades are due soon. Decided to work on Jordon’s first because I need to get all his grades in asap to receive his diploma for graduation.

Dezirae reminds me she needs help with Math. Oh, how I loathe Math now.  She also reminds me that she needs her last ASL test. I’m now feels ng overwhelmed.

LS Memoirs – 20-21 March 2021

March 20

Rough night. Kept fighting with the covers. Temperature kept fluctuating. Exhausted. Rt hip throbbing. Stinging pain thru body moderate.

Bible Reading: Judges 6-7;

Trying to get ready for activity at church. Bulletins printed – had to have Rae help me. Salad made. Joe put beef brisket on in crockpot. Jordon hung new mini blind.

Arms fatigued out while curling bangs. Completely wore out putting make up on. Ugh. Need a nap.

700 Joe woke with migraine. He’s been getting them alot lately. Told him he’s missing a mineral.

950 migraine oncoming. Worked on bulletins, answering bible scavenger question, worked on blog a little. Need to pack for weekend.

Head blurring and starting to swirl. Head hurts. Eyes watery. Exhausted.

Bible Reading: Judges 6-7

Need to lay down a piece to ease headache.

No juice today, but drank chocolate milk with chia seeds & D.E.

1200 Joe decided to get to church early. Got things set up. He realized we hadn’t eaten lunch. Ran to DG to get hot pockets. I was appreciative. Wearing out quickly. Had to go lay down for while to have energy for teen activity.

Symptoms: headache, stinging needle pain, lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with numbness to feet, legs throbbing greatly, hands swollen and achy, exhausted, thirsty, body aches from head to toes, center of chest hurting – did too much today.

Took aleve to ease pain. 1/2 Benadryl for sinus issues.

March 21

Bible Reading: Jeremiah 17:7-8; Judges 8-9;

Very rough night. Severe pain in center of chest kept waking me. At one point, I had to get up to see if I could get chest to pop. It popped slightly but not enough. Ended up applying essential oil pain roller to center of chest to get it to ease enough so I could go back to sleep. Low back & rt hip throbbing severely.

700a I’m exhausted and very sleepy. Sinuses congested. Sneezing – I can tell it’s spring time. Eyes watery. Back throbbing. Head hurts. Bad dream. . .

Woke to lft arm and hands pins and needles with tingling sensation. Low back & rt hip throbbing. Chest pain has eased to mild pain. Shoulders ache. Headache. Tired.

Song: ♫ It’s a good day to give thanks to the Lord and sing praises to His name. In the morning we will…♫

Riddle me this? Why does trying to focus on sheet music to play the piano cause such struggle with coordination, blurring of brain and vision, increased headache, etc?

Interesting thought…human trafficking occured in Bible times. Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver. Jesus was betrayed for 30pcs of silver. Hmm? Nothing is new under the sun.

Not sure if it’s a big deal but just noticed that for distance without glasses on I not only lose clarity but also lose color. The 11 on my phone is red with glasses on but off the number is pink and white.

Coordination disorders often result from malfunction of the cerebellum, the part of the brain that coordinates voluntary movements and controls balance.

After church, feel like I’m going to faint. Need to ask Dr why that happens. Need to lay down a while. Decide to listen to wholetones music while laying down. Need to send them a review.

Woke from nap to both arms and hands numbish, tingling, and stinging. Not a good feeling. Still very tired.

I sit in bed for a while hoping to wake up, yet I feel drained of all energy.

Decided to push myself and clean up dead leaves around flower bush in yard. Can’t do them all at once, but one at a time makes a difference as I go. Excited to see the flowers blooming soon.

Symptoms: low back throbbing, hands swollen and achy, slight headache, legs throbbing, stinging nerve pain thru body, toes cold like ice

My chronic nerve pain has been flaring up, but being around friends & family help keep me enouraged

Thankful for?

  • Talked with son in college today.
  • Church family loved on my kids by bringing them candy & cookies today.
  • My husband bought dinner so I didn’t have to cook.
