rolling
September 2, 2014
woke up this morning and my stomach is rolling so hard. Last night's fever has triggered my lymph nodes to swell over my belly. man oh man does it hurt, guess i will be needing extra pain meds for the day. funny thing... when i was at the stomach doc's awhile back, i told them that the whole pepto commercial was all my symptoms, with the exception there is terrible pain besides and that pepto doesn't work at all for my symptoms... they said it was the most helpful description they had ever heard... REALLY? both the doc and the nurse looked at me in shock. I still don't get what is so helpful about it. But whatever helps I guess. it is just to bad that stuff doesn't help me. i understand why it doesn't, because the flare up is due to inflammation and not due to the track itself, but still, it would be nice if it actually helped.
so i will be living in the bathroom today. i really need to paint it one of these days. i am bored of the color. i can't even match the color, because i had taken the pink paint from the entry and added a bit of tan paint to it making it a soft peach color. i really do like the color, it is very soothing. and i didn't paint all the walls, i left one wall white. and i do really like it, but it has been that way for the past 12-14 years. and it really is time to paint it again. not that i can even physically do that job anymore. i would have to have EO or one of the kids do it. but still, it needs it. i guess i am kind of waiting for when we put the tile down in there. i would really like to have that done this year, as we have the tile and have been planning to do it for a few years now. i am ready to start pushing EO to get it done.
so my hand is still not working very well. but now that i have my 30 in and it is over, i really am not stressing about it. i'm sure my hand just needs rest. and typing isn't resting, but since i was too ill yesterday to be up, i wanted to be sure to be on here today.
Sunday, we had Hoadley's over for lunch... actually, they brought lunch. EO told them, that I still can't eat much, and what I can eat, so they brought pizzas. it was really nice. we got to laugh a lot. Plus Lauren was here for a short time, before she had to get back home. Steph was a blessing as she cleaned up..so thankful for her help!!! but i was sure tired after...during and before. i was pretty drained. But we needed the encouragement. plus, to hear what other people are going through and enduring is always faith strengthening, because everyone has so much to deal with. and it just isn't little stuff any more. we are all under attack. at least we know it is just a temp thing. Jehovah sure cares, his comfort is constant.
