It's been a week since my surgery. I'm doing ok, except I still can't talk much. I just took a phone call during which I wheezed and coughed all the way through it. And I've about gone through every shirt with a neckline that doesn't rub against the suture area. It was a relief to get the staples out.
So no cancer, but what I have is Hashimoto's thyroiditis. You can read more about it here. Basically it causes both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The best of both worlds! Sensitivity to heat and cold! Muscle cramps and weakness! Anxiety and depression! And on and on. I'll have to be on meds, but no one has prescribed them yet. Have to see about getting that done.
Mary left her hat making looms with me. When I went to get the staples out, we also went to Walmart and I got all kinds of yarn. So I'm making hats. If you have a request, let me know. Merry Christmas - you are getting a hat.
Best of both worlds, indeed! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for hats! That sounds kind of fun!
