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.

The added stress on my brain from the neuro testing last week really did a number on my immune system and overall health. I knew I’d be down for days from pure exhaustion but I didn’t consider how it would affect me physically. Ended up sick like my husband. I’m praying its not Covid…feels more like a bad case of the flu.

Still waiting for results of Joe’s covid test. Quarantining stinks but then again I haven’t had much gumption this week either. It’s hard enough fighting to recover from LS let alone top it with flu like symptoms and a sick hubby. Yuck! This too shall pass.

 

it’s hard…extremely hard…especially when you’re in midst of it. Reminding myself…

 

Psalm 73:26-28

My flesh and my heart faileth:

but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

 

I haven’t felt much like Bible study this week either being frankly honest but I have kept up with my Bible reading & devotional app.

Read Genesis 46-50 & Psalm 119:25.

 

Need to work on adding next Scripture journal to blog. Have it partially finished. Maybe I’ll have energy to work on it tomorrow.

630 asked family if they wanted brownies. Joe told me I wasn’t cooking bc I needed to rest. Asked Jordon to make some cookies.

1130 sat to use restroom and lower back snap crackles and popped! It hurt but I am able to move little better. Lower rt back & but area throb intensely. Why does it have to hurt so much!

I’m not taking it anymore. I’m going to bed. Maybe my body will wake in better mood and less pain tomorrow.

Ate on the soup all day and still have a lot left. It was big help as I was in no shape to cook at all today.

I hurt so bad I can’t even lay on my back in bed!! Attempting to lay on stomach.

Took pm rxs, zinc 50mg , C 2k mg, Tylenol sinus.

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.

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.

425 had to lay flat for couple hours bc entire back was stinging chilling burning pain and whole body throbbing. Couldn’t sleep but laying flat and resting helped.

430 realized that the info I had about new dentist & the text message to confirm was conflicting informatiom. Tried for 30 minutes calling dentist office to get info straight but couldn’t get an answer. Left msg. About to have panic attack bc I didn’t know where to take them in am.

500 Joe home. Explained situation. He helped me talk it out to calm me down. He recognized that voice mail had after hours number I could text. Took little bit but they replied with correct address which helped ease me.

It took me several months to get this appointment. I didn’t want to mess it up.
