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.

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.

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

723 researching benefits of Gaba

https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-gaba

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

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.mindbodygreen.com/articles/gaba-what-is-it

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…

  2. To be alive
  3. Even on bad days, I can put my trust in Him.

Pain eased a little as I forced myself to get up and moving a little. Washed couple loads. Hung one load on line.

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 6-8; Romans 14:11, John 3:14-17

Went to college to see Jakob. Given tour of college. Chapel with Jakob. Guys got pretty loud so I had to put my ear plugs in to muffle sound in order to not get a migraine.

Ate lunch with Jakob at the college.

Dropped sister & kids off at hotel. Taking Jakob to get a car. I forgot how long the process takes. I’m so exhausted and hurting all over.  Almost came close to starting all over – payments higher than they expected bc they forgot about interest rate.  Jakob proud owner of 2013 Chevy Equinox.

Dinner at Cheddar’s restaurant. While waiting to get called in, stepped one step backwards not realizing there was dip in sidewalk lost balance and almost fell. Thankfully Joe caught me. Made rt hip hurt exponentially. Had to sit.

Took seemingly forever to get our food and I’m draining quickly. Let everyone know that I wasn’t mad at anyone I’m just hurting and pushed to max on my goings. Need to go back to hotel room and crash.

Bible Reading 2 Kings 9-11, Psalm 60:20

Going to the Ark Encounter today with Uncle Dale and Aunt Annabelle.

7:42 back in hotel room. I’m exhausted, face is hot, whole body hurting, low back throbbing, feet are freezing. Laying down to rest a bit.

1130 crashed for about hour or so. Woke in time to get ready for bed.

I’m exhausted and hurting from head to toes. Feet freezing. Stinging burning pain throughout body. Lower back and hips intensely throbbing. Sharp pain in lower rt abdomen. Sinuses congested slightly. Headache, but not a migraine.

Thankful for the blessed day and amazing adventure.

Enjoyed spending the day at the Ark Encounter. I was awestruck to see the life-sized replication of Noah’s Ark.

It was encouraging and thought-provoking to see and hear not only of the amount of Noah’s faith, but also of all the people involved in the coming together of this exhibit.

I even enjoyed challenging a random teenager to a race while I was in the electric scooter (I won ). We all had a great laugh.

I’m exhausted and hurting, but thankful for this wonderful opportunity!

1129a sharp paying in lft shoulder blade.   Center of chest aches.

Mom told me she was talking to chiropractor about me the other day. He told her that it was good to see my progress. When I first started seeing him, my speech was slurred and thought process was slow. I’m speaking more clear now and am looking better. Good news to hear.

Need to rest my brain a bit in order to function through tonight’s service. Listening to wholetones music to help calm and quiet my brain.

Center of chest feels like I pulled a muscle and bruised it too.

600 remembered that I’m supposed to go renew license today and I haven’t gathered all the information yet. Have to get star on ID and need specific info. Ugh!

Transfer towels to dryer. Start another load laundry. Print list if required documents. Double check time office opens. Business hours still aren’t what they’re posted due to covid. Have to be there at 8am. Praying it won’t take long.

Info gathered. Have time for short nap. Praying all goes smoothly and quickly (well not too quick so I have time to process info thrown at me and I can respond accordingly.

Got in trouble y’day bc Joe asked me two questions during his sermon. One right after the other. I was attempting to answer first question but by time I could spit it out he asked second question. And it sounded as if I was arguing with him. Ugh!  Frustrating and embarrassing. At least, I made people laugh. Don’t remember the questions, but later when we were talking about the day something that was said reminded me and I let him know about it.

I may not sound or look like I’m struggling or in pain from the outside, but I do so on a daily basis. It’s frustrating to tears at times, but I remind myself that God is with me and He us my refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

Lightning Strikes Memoirs – 1-3 April 2021

April. 1

4:30 woke to whole body stiff, achy, and in much stringing. Both hands tingling and stinging. Tummy insides cramping. Sinuses congested. Tinny taste in mouth.

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 18-20;

Juicing: V8 Splash Island Strawberry, 1 tbs chia seeds, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Cooked 4lbs sausage in crockpot over night. Broke it up fine and put in ziplock bag in fridge. Cooked 4 lbs bacon and put in container for Sunday. Friend stopped by to deliver Color Street nails I requested. Visited with her for little while. Got Easter baskets out and put in them what I gave so far. Worked on blog for little bit.

Exhausted and nerves are burning throbbing thru body. Low back throbbing. Eyes getting heavy. Need a nap. Listening to Open Door.

Fell asleep for about 20 minutes. Having bad dream…dreamt that a semi truck rear-ended us and was pushing us into the back of a grey vehicle. As we were about to hit vehicle, I jerk awake at same time receiving text notification sound from Jakob. Whew!

It’s been a good day. I’m exhausted. Hurting all over. Low back throbbing. Tummy aches. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with tingling to toes. Mild headache. Post nasal drip. Yuck. Skin sensitive.

On the way home from church, Joe asked me if I remember something ___ on Sunday to remind him. I said okay. Sitting in chair in Living room, I remember I’m supposed to remind him but forgot what. I was going to set reminder in my phone so I asked him what I was supposed to remind him. He got upset and said nevermind I’m not going there. That in turn upset me because I was trying to do better but I honestly don’t remember what it was he asked me to remember. Eyes getting heavy. I’m exhausted. Decided to go to bed. I’ll probably be sleeping before he comes to be. Having trouble even now keeping eyes open.

 

April 2

630 fell asleep quickly last night. Low back throbbing intensely.

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 22-24; Psalm 34:6-8;

800 decided to work on my blog a little. Able to finish March 2019.

Joe decided for us to go look at a car.

Lunch date at Jereusalem Cafe. Started with Lentil Soup sprinkled with sumac. Soup was creamy with robust flavor. Delicious!

Beef Shawarmah – Grilled cubes of spiced and marinated tender beef topped with cucumber yogurt sauce. Plate came with a scoop of yellow rice. Rice was cooked to perfection and moist.

Joe wants to look at more cars. I’m done.

We ended up at 4 or 5 different lots. Much more than my brain or legs could handle. In much pain and brain is overload with too much information. Brain in shut down mode and I am now grumpy and angry.

I wanted to get little candy for kids easter baskets. Stores are too full of people for my liking. Trying to explain and it comes out all wrong. Upset Joe so he decided to go home without which makes more angry.

Once home Joe wants to talk it out but I don’t bc I need time to process and let brain rest. I end up saying I’m vacating premises because I need a break from you. Not what I wanted to say but instead of trying to explain I just walk out side and sit in sun for few minutes.

Whole body stings, low back & rt hip throbbing, legs stinging burning throb, feet tingle, post nasal drip tastes nasty in my mouth. Exhausted. Having trouble keeping eyes

 

April 3

700a lft arm sore, low back hurts, whole body stiff and achy, eyes blurry, neck hurts, hands throbbing and swollen. Strange uncomfortable dream…Joe finally appeared towards end so I reached out to him for comfort and protection. Still very tired.

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 25-27; Hebrews 12:2; Psalm 54:4;

My legs, feet, butt, and lower back are throbbing. Headache moderate. Took Naproxen for pain, Advil sinus for sinuses, & 1/2 dropper cbd.

Today has been a roller coaster of emotions day. We purchased a 2nd vehicle. Family we purchased from asked us to come back at 3pm to give them time to clean it out, etc. As we left, we received phone call that a friend was being taken to ER unresponsive. Prepping things for Easter tomorrow. Picked up new to us vehicle. Took some stuff to church. Delivered food to a friend. Received word that friend passed. Finished picking stuff up for tomorrow. Several phone calls letting us know of her passing. Decided to let Rae know tonight.

I’m past exhausted and hurting.

Joe sweet enough to massage areas with eo pain relief rub. It helps take edge off.

Bible Reading: 1Samuel 1-3; Psalm 43:3;

Weather – raining off and on all day

Exercise – decided to go do some Easter shopping. One child had bad attitude so that child didn’t get anything. Another child found shoes finally. All the walking wore me out and made legs throb exponentially. Ended up sitting on part of store’s furniture bc I couldn’t stand any more. It led to a lady asking why I was hurting. Was able to give my lightning testimony. Lady said it gave her the chills. Invited them to church. One of Ladies, Christy, works in Grand Bay Pharmacy. Said I should stop in and say hi some time. Told her I would.

Watched movie called Walk By Faith. It’s about a young man with Sickle Cell Disease. He embarrassed and gets tired of having disease. Made to do report in school on the disease and paired with guy he doesn’t like.

LS Memoirs – 24-25 March 2021

March 24

Rough night. Up and down. Woke to hands stinging & throbbing. Center chest sharp pain. Upper back aches. Both hips and low back throbbing. Arms & legs ache. Dry mouth. Thirsty. Headache has eased some. Sinuses are semi clear.

Bible Reading: Judges 16-18; Romans 6:23;

Juicing: 5 cups spinach, 2 apples, 15 baby carrots, 1/2 green pepper

Taste not so good. Green pepper taste overpowers other items. I’d rather eat green peppers not drink them.

Declutter cups & plates cupboard. Think I got rid of 1/3 of the clutter. Probably could get rid of more but don’t want guys mad at me

Rachel M replied to someone asking how to retrieve smell/taste after covid… “I lost my taste and smell from covid in January and I was actually able to regain it back pretty quickly by using the principles of neuroplasticity to retrain my brain. (I’m a speech pathologist and use these principles to improve swallowing in patients following strokes, brain injuries, etc). So each day I would take a few of my favorite essential oils and smell them for probably 20 seconds to a minute each, and I just tried to really concentrate on thinking about what the scent smelled like. After doing this a few times a day for a few days in a row my sense of smell came back!”

I wonder if it would help lightning survivors as well?

https://www.neuroskills.com/brain-injury/neuroplasticity/ten-principles-of-neuroplasticity/ 

Symptoms: whole body throbbing, back stings, center chest stabbing throbbing pain – at times it takes my breath away, hands swollen and throwing, low back and hips throbbing, indigestion moderate, tired, keep dozing off trying to type,

445a woke from nightmare.  I hurt all over sorely. Feel like I’ve been beat up severely. Hurts to move. Sinuses congested. Tummy hurts. Headache moderate. 

Bible Reading: Judges 19-21;

Pain is not letting up. Feel like I could just sleep all day. I dislike hurting this bad. The stinging throbbing one you can’t ignore not in least bit just drains you. Lord, help me.

930a Dezirae comes to check on me. I’m usually up and waking her way before now. Told her I’m hurting bad.

Better get up soon. Need to get her motivated to do school work.

No appetite. Don’t have energy to.juice either. Tummy tore up.

Decided to try cbd oil drops to see if it’ll take edge off bc pain meds aren’t touching the pain.

Thirty minutes later I notice edge off pain is easing up. Starting to feel like doing something. Transferred towels to dryer. Washed load of whites. Straightened up around house some. Burnt papers.

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.

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.

Bible Reading: Judges 3-5; Galatians 5:22-23; Lamentations 3: 23-26; Psalm 16:1-3

Sinuses congested, thirsty,

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.
