I'm back.......

Nov 15, 2012

It's been a while OH. So here's whats happened since I last posted in July.

My surgery was canceled 3 days before it was supposed to happen!!  Why? I found at that I had Graves disease at the last moment and surgery would have been a huge risk to my life. I was sooo mad, sad and just full of emotions. After having a week long pity party for myself, I went to a specialist and started taking meds to get my thyroid under control. About 3 weeks later, I found myself in the ER having an allergic reaction to the thyroid meds!!! I had to start a new med for my thyroid, plus steroids to help with the allergic reaction. Then, I got the flu a few days later!!!!

And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, THEY DID. I went to the doctor for a follow up visit and OMG, I had gained 25 pounds in 4 weeks .  Those steroids!!!  But the thyroid meds had done their job and my thyroid levels were back in normal range

So fast forward to 11/12/2012, and I have a new surgery date: November 26, 2012 7am!!!
