Some of the stuff you are about to read you may have heard before. I know in my own mind as I'm trying to follow what I've written, that it's kind of all over the place. So please forgive me. I hope you will track with me as I'm going back to the events leading upto my diagnoses of T.M. I actually Spent late nights (3am) wide awake in the hospital to journal this stuff you are about to read. My Dr. and others told me it would be good to journal for myself and others who have Acute Transverse Myelitis. I'm glad I have these entries now, but at the time of writing them I didn't see how it was a good idea and after maybe four pages I had to quit because the pure reality of it all was facing me head on.
journal entries from the week of April 10th 2010. :
March 15th we moved from our rental home and into our R.V. I found myself majorly stressed and in need of time to myself seeking out God and trying to figure out where my life was headed. It had proven to be a very stressful and challenging situation for me to deal with. It looked like a dead end. So, I set out on a walking adventure just to get out of the camper and to be on my own. On my first day of walking four miles I was halfway out and I asked God what he wanted me to do. He answered by a verse written boldly (to me, but not really in font size) on a shed at a neighbors that read, “Master, What is the Greatest Commandment of the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with thy entire mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22: 36-40.”
After two weeks of walking four miles a day so about as of now, two weeks ago, Saturday, March 27th 2010 I started having tingling in my right foot. That following Monday, March 29th 2010 I decided to go to the chiropractor to see if she could fix the tingling in my foot. She tried multiple times, and had troubles adjusting me. She said that many of my back muscles were extremely tight. She didn't know what was going on. The same day of the chiropractic appointment we set up our trampoline for my niece and she wanted me to jump with her so I did. I then jumped off the trampoline landed hard and lost my balance in my legs and fell back and hit my lower back against the bar. So after the chiropractic appointment and hitting my back on the bar I was in such severe pain in my back. The tingling in my right foot then moved up my right leg and into my left foot and leg. It was such a strong tingling. Similar to when your foot falls asleep and you can't even stand on it. I just couldn't shake it or seem to figure out what was going on.
Lord Have Mercy!
