What A..........

What a differance a nap can make! Woozers! I'm feeling so much better! I think I'm just really tired, that's why I have been in a really foul mood. I went to my endocrinlogist and he said he wasn't sure the surgeon put me on the right dosage of thyroid hormone replacement after my total thyroidectomy. So, that's why it's so important that I take my medicine daily, which I so eloquently screwed up by taking myself off that medicine for 2 months. Needless to say, I learned that I can't do that because if I don't take my medicine, I eventually die, plain and simple.

I didn't fully understand what the thyroid did for the body, heck, I really still don't understand. All I know is this, for years I was ALWAYS cold, I wore sweaters year 'round, I don't like air conditioners, they are a waste of energy why not use the fresh air that the good Lord has provided for the world......that's my philosophy. I also never had enery, but I always pushed myself, I'm a busy person, I NEVER slow down because I ALWAYS have things to do, I'm always on some committee or volunteering or at some workshop. When I slow down and sleep, I SLEEP!

I'm not going to go into how I found out I have an issue with my thyroid and how serious it was with the surgery, because I think I may have covered it (if I haven't I will, because I think it's important for people to know signs).
