Hyperm, you take it easy, OK? DON"T feel guilty, as we all get sick from time to time. If it was hubby feeling ill, YOU would take care of him, right? One minute at a time is all we can manage, some days. Take care of yourself, so you can return to taking care of everyone else again! As you say, settle in for the night, hope you have a good one…

Hyperm,
I am so glad you’ve decided to take the diasipam…excuse my spelling…I am on 2 of his cousins. One is a shorter acting and one a longer acting. I don’t like taking them either, but it makes my kids like more livable if I do….as I too have an 8 year old and a 2 year old.

Your so not alone in how your feeling. Been here, doing that. If I could reach across the pond and hug ya I would, but I’d probably pull a stupid muscle and be in more pain *LOL*. So hugs here are the best I can do. Who knows, maybe Ski will drop in on you while she is on vacation.

Hang in there hon. I know how hard it is, just keep telling yourself, swing park in no time!!! We all love ya, Gentle Hugs again Rhonda

Movies, hugs and time with your children, such QUALITY TIME hyperm, GOOD FOR YOU!! I’m SO HAPPY that you’re not feeling the GUILT, your children & husband DESERVE YOUR TIME, TIME we cannot put a price on with your family and will NEVER GET BACK, so TAKE IT TO HEAL YOURSELF!! I decided, after my IV treatment today, to go to the pool (it was a cloudy, overcast day, as I know the sun is not good for steroid treatment), came home and took a 5 HR. "NAP"…yes,"NAP" !! I just want you to know how PROUD OF YOU and the decisions you make today to spend time with your CHILDREN & your HUSBAND !! They DESERVE your time, they love you and isn’t just an unconditional hug from your children THE BEST?? My son is 25 yrs. old now and lives 3,000 miles away from me so I only get those unconditional hugs a few times each year. ENJOY THEM while your children are small !!

I agree with Nancy, PLEASE, PLEASE call your doctor when you can and explain how you are feeling, otherwise they do not know !! Like I said, I’ve actually documented my depression(s) and when they come on, I can usually tell..I do know it’s physiological because I see the changes in my body leading up to it and they usually take approximately 4 days to be full blown. I’ve explained them to my dr. and so when I feel them starting, I call him and he knows now that my levels are changing and sends me immediately for bloodwork. And, there is ALWAYS my ANSWER, I’m not CRAZY !! Surgery is NO JOKE, your body is going through so much just trying to heal from that sick thyroid for so long!! No one knows their body better than YOU, so hang in there!! You’ve LOVED by your family, you’re LOVED by all of your friends HERE !! Please let us know how tomorrow is for you hyperm!!

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your kind words. I didn ‘t sleep much last night but it was a much calmer night, I read a little, watched TV and chatted to a few friends on facebook. I made sure I rested. Although my voice is really hoarse I read my little boy his bed time stories and even didn’t make a fuss when 3 stories stretched to 6 as I made myself remember the night before the op thinking that could have been my last time if something went wrong in theatre.

Today I had a very lazy day and went to bed for a few hours – didn’t sleep but I will take one of my pills tonight to make sure I do tonight or else the outcome may not be too good tomorrow! I fed the baby his dinner tonight and to you mums I know this doesn’t sound crazy, but I felt really good after wards…mothering instincts and all.lol

I can feel my mood could go off again but I am really trying hard and I suppose the fact that the effort is seeming to sustain those feelings indicates that perhaps my levels are starting to settle. I feel better in myself please God that it continues xxxx

Thanks again everyone xxx
