I’m feeling a little better today! It’s about darn time too. I’ve felt awful for at least a solid week, and before that I only had a few days where I felt ok after feeling totally yucky in early Feb. So far 2008 hasn’t been much better than 2007 health wise.
Yesterday, along with my internet problems and lack of a working mouse for the laptop, I felt absolutely terrible. I think I lay on the couch pretty much all day. My stomach was just aching so bad. I’m pretty sure I had yet another bowel obstruction. I didn’t see a doctor or go to emerg., so I don’t have medical proof of that, but I’ve had enough of them over the years that you kind of get to know what’s up.
It seems to have cleared today. Thank God for anti-inflammatories!
I guess instead of hoping that I have better health in 2008 I’ll just hope each day is better than the last.
Wordless Wednesday
Don’t you love watching animals looking at themselves in a mirror? This cat looks like it’s about to tickle it’s reflection.
When I was walking Midnight our Lab puppy this afternoon we passed by a small apartment building and she happened to stop and gaze at the glass apartment door entrance. Well she started barking her head off after she finally noticed herself in the glass.
Sometimes when she sees her reflection I think she realizes that it’s herself and other times she seems to think it’s another dog. It’s pretty funny to watch her reaction.
I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything here for a few days!
Well I have a good excuse. I’ve been sick again. What else is new eh? I’ve had a constant fever from sometime Saturday evening up until sometime earlier today.
It’s not unusual for me to have several fevers in a day or even several fevers each day for days on end. It just goes with my Crohn’s disease. In fact it’s so common that’s why I came up with the name Feverish Thoughts for this sites domain.
It’s been a while though since I’ve pretty much had a constant fever for days on end!
I don’t know how you feel when you have a fever … I’ll bet you probably have other symptoms going on when you get one … but for me, a fever just zaps all my energy. I’m shivering with the chills or too hot as my fever comes down and I’m just too tired to think or do much of anything.
Surprisingly my crohn’s pain is usually a little better or rather less painful when I have a fever and it gets worse again when the fever finally goes away. So right now my fever seems to be gone but I’ve got bad abdominal pain. Go figure. I can’t win for losing!
Obviously I haven’t been up to too much in the last few days what with my fevers zapping all my energy. Other than our current ice, snow and thunder storm that’s going on the only other interesting thing that’s happened in the last few days is that an old friend came over to see me on Monday.
My friend was in the area and she decided to pop in for a quick visit. I hadn’t seen her for maybe two years! She moved from the area when she got married two years ago, changed jobs and we just kind of lost touch with each other.
She’s going to have a few more changes in her life soon too. When I gave her a hug I couldn’t help but feel a baby bump! After she took her coat off I could see that she definitely is expecting. She’s only about four and a half months along but she’s so excited she’s already wearing maternity jeans! She’s so cute.
My long lost friend stayed for two hours or so and we had a chance to catch up on what’s been happening in our lives.
I don’t really like having people over when I’m not feeling well, but it’s different when it’s a really good friend. She didn’t mind that I lay on the couch for part of our visit.
Anything interesting happening in your life? Hopefully you guys are healthier than I am lately!
Do you remember about a month ago I told you about a site called mysavings.com where you could get Free Stuff? Well I’d like to tell you about my experience.
I spent some time on the site going through all the different free samples that I could send for. Of course I couldn’t request all of them because some of the free samples were only for those in the US. The Mysavings.com site did make it easy for me to search for free samples that I qualified for though as there are Country icons at the top of each page. I simply clicked on the Canadian flag and it brought up items that I could request.
I can’t remember all the items I requested but I do remember asking for a free sample of Greenies – a dog treat that’s good for their teeth and that I think freshens up dog breath, a sample or two of various dog foods, three different Oil of Olay products and a sample of Garnier Fructus Shampoo or conditioner. All of those samples have arrived with the exception of the dog food samples. I’m sure they’ll come. Some of the items that I was requesting clearly stated that the samples wouldn’t arrive for four to six weeks.
Another thing that I liked about the free sample section of the site is that you can search for items by major category or by using the search box. Once you find a free sample that you’d like to apply for you just click on the link and below the sample description and link to product site you’ll see a comment section where those that have also requested the item can talk about their experiences. I found this helpful because there were a few products that people stated they’d requested months before and the samples simply hadn’t arrived. That saved me time as I decided not to even bother trying to request those samples.
If you visit the site you’ll discover that you can get all kinds of free samples. There are free samples for baby or children’s products, pet products, automotive, beauty, health and makeup, college and students, magazines, home and garden, office supplies and more.
Mysavings.com isn’t just a site with links to offers for free samples. No, not by a long shot. You’ll also find free online coupons such as printable grocery coupons, coupon codes to use at online stores, and coupons for restaurants too.
They add new coupons and free samples weekly so it’s good to visit regularly. You’ll get to try samples of products that you’ve perhaps been thinking of buying and you can save a lot of money with all those coupons.
Visit mysavings.com today and see what free samples you can get or what coupons could save you money!
