My past week

So this last Tuesday i had the other half of my thyroid removed. Dr's took some scrapings of the lymphoids to check about the spreading and so far it looks like they got it all! so Good News there! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were a little rough but I am feeling so much better faster than last time. I am so glad my sister is here though to help because it has been one heck of a week between Brett and I. Brett got hand, foot, and mouth....yes - that toddler disease. A child's infection. Can happen in adults, but rare. Well leave it to Brett to be the rare. He has been absolutely miserable. Hasn't been able to eat anything since Sunday. He had a bowl of cream of wheat today which was pushing it, but poor thing has been suffering. So, hurting because of all the mouth sores and grumpy because he can't eat and is pretty weak. Couldn't even really talk for a few days. But, it is getting better and most of the sores are cleared in his mouth except two really big ones right behind his front top teeth that still keep him from eating anything. Poor guy has lost like 10 lbs...ya poor Brett there since he is pretty much over half way to his weight goal were he wanted to be by summer. Anywho, he is loosing weight not in a good way, but still- boo on him for getting skinny and me-not so much. Today has been the best so far and hopefully i will be back to normal by tomorrow and can stop taking some pain meds. Someone has to be around here!! Looks like sister is sick now and Brett is still worn out and not doing to well, so that leaves me to be the somewhat well one! Oh, except i may have broken my foot. Weirdest thing ever....tried to gt out of bed this morning and my leg was literally like a limp noodle and a fell hard on my foot. It's funny that Brett is excited to see if it is broken because maybe he will get to do something about it. BUT just my luck though. I do not, however, think it is broken...just super bruised. Give me a few days and it will pass too.

Anywho, boring post but just wanted to give the update. My hormones are super crazy at the moment, i am confused and forgetful about every little thing, the pain meds make me sad and grumpy, I am non-stop exhausted--so I am no fun to be around while the thyroid medicine works its "magic". I will find out Monday if i need to do the radiation iodine treatment. Hopefully that's a NO and we will be all good! I am so thankful for the prayers and all the help. The Lord definitely heard my prayers about feeling alone and unloved with no friends (i know, very silly)-- He gave me thyroid cancer and let me know I have all kinds of friends out there who love me lots and lots. Thanks again and again everyone.
