The airplane ticket to Japan purchased 1/11/2026

I could sleep 8 hours straight without waking up in the middle of the night.

I woke up with my left finger tingled with nerve pain. I remember before I got the severe case of sciatica, I would wake up with my left finger with tingling sensation. I hope this is one of the healing process, centralization, back to the original.

I decided my next trip date to Japan. I purchased the airplane ticket.

9 hours and 47 minutes sleep 1/10/2026

This morning, I woke up feeling much more energized. I had slept 9 hours and 47 minutes. It is a record since injury day. But it was with the support of gabapentin. I hope the day will come soon that I can sleep through the night without gabapentin.

My husband cleaned up my desktop computer. I haven’t cleaned the fan for 4 years. He said the fan was covered by dusts. It was good that he cleaned the fan before it stops working.

My first 8-hour sleep since injury 1/9/2026

I could sleep through for 8 hours. It is my first 8-hour sleep since the injury day.

At 9 a.m., my family and I went to see the house for sale. It is the house located next door to the across the street. The current owner is an old couple. We have greeted many times. I never knew they had a dog inside the house. I never saw them walking the dog. They took really good care of the house. I still have a desire to purchase a brand-new house, rather than a second-handed or owned by many different previous owners. But it was fun to have a house tour.

Hair shedding due to pain stress 1/8/2026

I cerebrated about yesterday for spending all day and night without gabapentin. However, when I combed my hair with a hair brush, I shed a bunch of hair. Maybe it was super stressful to the point where many hairs sacrificed their lives.

In the late morning, my husband and daughter went to the movie theater to watch Zootopia 2.

It was a cold day with low temperature. In this kind of cold days, my nerve pain gets bad. I had pains in right butt and back area. Around 7 p.m., I stopped suffering and gave in; I took 1 pill of gabapentin, the medication does work. right after I took the pill, the burning hot sensation called down. I could proceed some studies on the professional homeopath course.

Dream of an eagle 1/5/2026

I could sleep for 7 hours straight again.

In this morning’s dream. I had an eagle as pet. The eagle was huge. It was almost same size as human adult. The eagle had fluffy red feathers. He ate only vegetables. I fed him his favorite vegetables, and he happily ate them all.  

I shared my dream with my husband. He said his late cousin visited him in his dream. My husband didn’t remember the details of the dream, but he remembered they had a good time visiting each other.

Our first long drive since injury day 1/3/2026

My family and I went to the community market and farmer’s market in the next city. It took us 1.5 hours on one way. It was our first long drive since my injury. I had enough cash in my wallet, but by the time when we were about to leave the market, my wallet did not have any more paper bills. I purchased many gift items and clothes at the market. I was glad that I could purchase her some birthday gifts and Christmas gifts.

We walked for a long distance. From time to time, I needed to find a bench to sit down and rest. One time, the arch of my foot got extremely hot with intense nerve pain. I needed to sit down and put an icepack onto my foot and cool it down. I found a nice big tree next to the bench. I took off the socks and put my bare foot on the ground and touched the tree bark to earth myself.

I normally take gabapentin once a day, but today, I needed to take 2 pills because of the intense pain.
