Dec 25
630 slept all night. I hurt from head to toes – muscles and nerves burning prickly pain. Feel like I’ve been beat up. Hurts to move. Esophagus doesn’t hurt anymore. Indigestion seems to be gone.

2 John 1-Jude 1; Isaiah 9:6; Job 19:25
Song: I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Breakfast cooked (cinnamon rolls, hash, & bacon). Dezirae helped make the angel eggs, peeled potatoes for crockpot while I made the pumpkin pie. Burnt my thumb and finger accidentally grabbing oven rack. Lavender oil to rescue. Later tried to eat piece of hot bacon and dropped it because I used burned fingers. Joe picked up the piece of bacon and ate it. I had melt down.
Joe & Dezirae prep turkey to cook in oven.

1010 I need to crash for a bit. Exhausted and hurting.
10:40 Joe’s crossbow fell in closet making loud noise which scared awake cause me to scream

1120 woke abruptly from nap thinking I overslept
1200 muscles spasming and twitching thru body. Took colloidal silver.
Laid back down for a minute and ended up waking an hour later.
I’m so exhausted and have no energy. Nerve pain not as intense as before.
Christmas dinner at 2pm

Exhausted. Tired. Nerves stinging needle pain. Muscles ache deeply. Rt hip throbbing. Low back aches.
Tourniquet tightening feeling in lower left leg to ankle.

Night meds taken plus half a Benadryl and half a pain Rx. 2nd dose of colloidal silver.

Dec 26
Exhausted and hurting all over.

Revelation 1-3; Luke 2:28-32; Revelation 5:5

Looked up ideas for using leftover turkey for lunch today. Turkey Casserole. Put it together, but add-libbed a bit using items I have in pantry.
My lower back is throbbing intensely. Need to sit for bit then finish getting ready to go.

Informed I needed to sing special just as church started. Thankfully I found the song I was going to sing last week during Sunday School. Nervous and need to use restroom. Not good combo.
Able to get high note first time through. Second time throat started hurting and my voice cracked at the high note. I wanted to choke but able to hold it in until I went to bathroom after I was done.
Muscles sporadically and randomly spasming and twitching thru body.
120 rt hip throbbing intensely. Headache. Exhausted.
400 working on planning meals for week – use Pinterest, email, and internet for ideas. I look up to take break. See the guys walk in from outside but they’re blurry and my eyes cross. Jordon chuckles and asks what’s the matter. I explain. Brain feels foggy. Accidentally left my planning notebook at home frustrated bc I’m struggling to remember what needs to be done next.
600 the Christmas Carol’s songbook I put together this year the verses don’t match hymns that are in our hymnbooks. This causes song leader to sing different verse than others are. It’s so frustrating to my ears.

Lightning Strikes Journal Entries 27-28 April 2019

April 27

12:10a- not sure what’s going on, but I’m hurting more than I have in a while (I think). Just took rx pain & muscle relaxer. Hopefully, that’ll help me sleep. Calf muscles cramping, neck throbbing, noticed lft side of chest is swollen and upper torso throbbing. Hands swollen and achy. Eyes sensitive to lights. Rt ear aches. Rt toothaches. Low back aches. 

Please, Lord, provide for our needs. Car broken down and not enough $ to fix. 

Lost my craft needle and not sure where to find it. Good news is I finally found Joe’s Valentine’s gift but it won’t do him any good til he finds his keys. lol

4:30a- sore throat and still hurting all over. Muscles twitching throughout body. Feel like I’m burning up!

7:30a- I’m exhausted. Still hurt all over. Hard to get moving…everything’s stiff, swollen, and more than achy.

8:00a- while putting make up on I accidentally poked myself in the eye with the mascara wand. I didn’t even feel it! Only way I knew I did so was the black dot on white of my eye. Scarey! Joe says I was a hot box last night bc when he went to rub my back this morning it was clammy. 

10:12a- felt scab on top of head rt. 2nd spot on head keeps oozing yellowish gunk and bleeds periodically.  Guess I’ll have to use frankincense until I can get to dr. Not sure when I’ll be able to afford it since our car is broke down again. God sees the need. I’m trusting Him to supply.

1:00- picked up rx from pharmacy. While waiting I asked for pharmacist opinion about my “thrush” issue. She suggested I see an ENT bc it’s quite possible I have infection stuck in tonsils. Lymph nodes swollen in neck, rt ear ache, tooth pain, headache, neck hurts, sore throat, periodic chills. 

In thinking about what was said, I don’t think the Dr’s once checked for strep or tonsillitis. I so need second opinion.

3:15p- strawberries on dehydrator trays, pork chops divided and put away, food from lunch put away. I’m exhausted. Need to rest a while. 

7:28z sharp pain in rt side of lip. Felt like I waz being zapped. Ouch!

11:59p- whole body still hurts but pain is subsiding some. Rt ear hurts. Rt toothache. Sore throat. Lumps on back of throat. Tongue coated white. Headache. Hands swollen and achy and tingly. Feet ache. Muscle spams randomly throughout body all day.   

Found out that the previous pastor of the church passed away this morning. Mixed emotions sad bc I know his wife will miss him but glad he’s no longer suffering and know he’s in a better place. 

April 28

7:00a- calves cramping

9:15a- Bro Billy brought lg box of assorted greeting cards for me to use at church. What a sweet surprise!

11:35a- rt hip throbbing, muscles spasming in legs, cramping in stomach, slight headache, rt ear hurts

3:00p- working on next Scripture Journaling theme. Decided to double check verses chosen. Glad I did. Had to make a few changes. Now to remember how I saved it last time to post on blog as pdf. 

5:59p- rt hip hurts, rt ear throbbing & intermittent ringing, feet freezing – I’ve had socks on all afternoon

Stomach cramping

11:10p- feet finally warmed up, rt ear throbbing, rt toothache stabbing, low back throbbing feels like I was punched in back low blow on both sides, stomach cramping, esophagus feels like pills got stuck, rt side of face hurts, hands achy and swollen, feel bloated, legs hurt like I walked 5k without training. Rt ear feels like I need to sleep on a warm cabbage leaf. 

Overall it was a good day.

Lightning Strike Recovery Journal Entries 2019 Feb 27-28

Feb 27

8:45a- woke at 6:30 muscles spazing in legs. Back throbbing. Headaches. Spring is in the air my sinuses are amuck. Neck and chest hurt when I cough. Co-op today for kids. They are so excited they want to be there early! For the moment, I choose to be thankful for God’s faithfulness and mercies for they are new every morning. 

1:00- co-op went well today. Bunch of families out sick. I enjoy the US Geography class. Kids learning states and their capitals. I was able to do the game with kids today. Had fun. 

The class really stretches my brain and gives headache. Have to rest a while when I get home.

Feeling weak, rt hip throbbing, tailbone throbbing, headache, rt arm hurts, hands swollen and achy, neck hurts, shoulders tight, pain in left center of chest. 

Cat nap lasted about 10 minutes if that. Received call from Jakob. Got cut short because Joe was calling him. Figures.

9:51p- Jakob called back later. Needed help with his taxes. Unable to comprehend all he’s telling me. He said just him being able to talk it out with me helped. It probably would be better if I could see what he’s talking about. It was nice to be able to talk with him bc it’s been a long time since we talk that long. I miss my Bubba.

I’m exhausted but awake. In bed by 9:30. Lower half of body throbbing and tingling. Upper left side of chest throbbing. Rt shoulder hurts. Thrush still there. Headache. Dr apt tomorrow. Left shin & foot going numb feels weird.

10:15p- arms stinging

Feb 28

5:51a- woke at 2am & 5am. Woke from unsettling dream (only thing I remember is that I had argument with best friend and I was driving down wrong side of road thinking I was on right side). Muscles randomly twitching thru body, tears escaping my eyes, headache, need to get some sleep.  

7:42a- pain is great today…must be dreary weather. Nervous about Dr apt. Need to have him fill out paperwork for atty. Don’t recall being asked any of the questions before. Lord, I need thee every hour!

8:45a- Dr apt. Bp 113/69 hrt 69 weight 198 temp 97.7

The nurse, Joseph, had never met lightning survivor. Struggling remembering how old I am. I think it’s irrelevant, but they keep asking me. Still trips me up everytime. Mom had to explain why I had trouble remembering. Jospeh (I can remember his name bc it’s my husband’s name☺)

Saw someone familiar in hallway but I couldn’t place why I knew him. Told nurse that he looked familiar but I have no clue why. Dezirae kindly reminded me that he was from my TBI group. Oh, but I still don’t remember his name. 

When mom explained why I had struggle with memory. The guy got excited. He thought it was cool but not cool I was injured.  I told him I understood – it’s cool from a medical aspect. He never met a lightning survivor so he asked for my story. 

Thrush has improved but I have to wait one week then take 2nd round of medicine. I’m sick of medicine. 

12:05p- Dr didn’t fill out paperwork. Atty said not to worry. They’ll build case on medical records.

Chest in between shoulder blades just below chin just popped. Ouch! Feet are freezing!

7:25p- sharp pain left center of chest
