I am now home and I did miss my beauty, who is delighted that I am back and had made me a lovely welcome back card!
Hospital news - had my blood test at 8.40am to make sure that the results were available this afternoon at the clinic. Had forgotten that my lovely man would, of course, be doing surgery this afternoon, as it is now exactly a week since my op, so I was attended to by the very young lady who needed to ask the mystery man what they should do about my medication. Thankfully my calcium is on it's way back to being normal - so that is great news. My thyroid hormone levels though leave a lot to be desired and from my one tablet a day, I have now gone to three a day. So that's a total of 10 tablets a day for now - must keep track...
I think my sense of humour is missing in action. I don't feel really poorly but I just feel average along with tired and not at all motivated. It is annoying.
The time I had at Mum and Dads was fantastic, they just let me be, fed me, asked if there was anything they could do for me and I feel so blessed. The weather has been great too, I spent a lot of this morning sitting in the sun by the pond just letting life go by, reading a book.
Very much back to reality now. There were quite a few clothes strewn about the house on my return which I gathered together and washed. Fruit supplies to be replenished. New fluorescent tube required for the kitchen - domestic bliss at it's height!
Whilst sitting watching TV tonight, I reminded myself that I have thyroid cancer - I still can't really get a handle on that. It is an odd blip to be experiencing. I read in my thyroid book this evening about a lady who had thyroid cancer too, who struggled to get her head around the fact that she never knew what her thyroid was all about until it went wrong and then it was removed and it was like she had to grieve for something she never knew... I don't think I am feeling like that, perhaps I am in some ways - who knows? I really don't think I do just now.
So my planned visitor for tomorrow has been postponed due to potential germs which I am trying to avoid, but I am getting my hair cut, which will be good. My hair dresser is Italian with a fantastic accent, is most intellectual and we always enjoy stimulating debate and discussion. He followed his heart not his head and I admire and respect him for that.
During my time in hospital I lost half a stone and now wish to put that weight back on, so I am endeavouring to eat some calorie rich food - am thinking a piece of my favourite tiffin from town tomorrow would be good. I had a delicious Krispy Kreme doughnut tonight after dinner - yum! Got some chocolate to get through as well, so might just go and get some.
This blog business seems very helpful for those who are continuing to pray for me and my nearest and dearest as it gives a focus - thanks to you all for your support.
Chocky here I come - night all
