2023-12-30 — Bodily Revolt

My body hates me right now. It really really really hates me. And I sort of want to die. 😅 (Not in the real sense, but I really am super super miserable right now.).

On the bright side, I think I have confirmed with pretty much irrefutable evidence that the issues with pain in my hips knees and ankles is not related to my hips knees and ankles. It’s 100% based in my back, and it’s the nerves just absolutely flipping out.

I went up to help my brother Richard with his stepdaughter’s car, but ended up going to his neighbor’s house to help them with a 1995 Jeep Wrangler that’s a no crank no start that was giving them fits trying to diagnose. It had the symptoms of a bad starter, but the starter wasn’t the problem.

Anyway, after working our way back, I finally isolated the problem to aftermarket GPS tracking unit setup that had been installed and was malfunctioning, shutting the power off, and cutting the starter out.

In order to figure that out, though, I had to lay down on my back with my lower back supporting all my weight on like a 3/4 inch sill. It hurt, but I certainly didn’t expect… this.

The pain is bad enough that it’s not agony screaming, but it’s holding my breath nearly constantly, writhing around.

My back hurts. My hips hurt. My knees hurt. My ankles hurt. I got fire and prickly’s running down the backs of both legs starting from my butt down to my knees.

My elbows are sore, one super badly, from yesterday. My head, which I’d forgotten about, took a pretty good smack, and so It’s a bit tender on the back. My right arm apparently hit pretty hard, so it’s tender.

If that weren’t enough, the guy took us out to Cafe Rio after we finally got his Jeep working, and I think I got food poisoning from cafe Rio. My brother got a little sick too. My body can’t decide whether it wants to throw up or have diarrhea, or neither, or both.

I’m a bit nauseated. Gas. Bloated. Farting. Burping.

It’s… lovely.

If that weren’t enough, I’ve got heartburn issues from the same meal, and if I try and eat anything, my stomach flips out at me, with even worse nauseousness and crap.

If that went bad enough, my neck hurts, and I’ve got a migraine coming on, and I’m over the edge, so my brain is working even less than my foggy normal.

I’m not doing so well right now…

😅

I really hope there’s some kind of a miracle and I feel good in the morning. 🤞

That’s a bit of a tall order, but I can dream, right? G’night, folks.

My love to you.

Lift the world.
