    Hey all, how are you?

    Just wanted to add a wee quick post to celebrate an accomplishment! My first day back at work! Who would have thought I would one day be well enough again to achieve that – YOU GUYS!!

    Tired, a wee tad apprehensive but the first day is over with….just wait to see what each day brings.

    With huge thanks and hugs to you all!

    Runlacie- my uniform was tight!! This uniform used to hang on me so much so I had to wear a vest slip underneath incase anyone got a peep if I had to bend low! Ach its just not right! :lol:

    YAY for HyperM! We’re so proud of you and happy for you!!!! And guess what, EVERYTHING is tight on me!!! Today was our first chilly day and I had to pull out my jeans… they were loose in the spring and now I’m kind of just happy that they even still fit me! Keep in touch, okay???

    Thanks everyone!

    Ok maybe I was too premature in my celebrations <img decoding=” title=”Wink” /> I was exhausted on Tuesday night and was on the verge of fainting with fatigue – I was really frightened at how tired I was…. I was scared that I had returned to work too quickly. However, I did mange back in on Thursday and went with one of the other girls on the wards…I really felt the pace and very weak. but she was walking so fast and trying to throw patients on me and I was like to myself Wow you are so not ready for this. I wish I had taken another couple of weeks off.

    My bloods are going more hypo even with the 100mcg thyroxine. My GP called to say hold fire with increasing the meds (my surgeon’s recommendation after blood test) as it take 8 weeks for a TFT to reflect the thyroxine ??? I am really tired…. and Lacie I can’t even bare to weigh myself! I am so puffed up its depressing BUT I am staying focused and trying to think that by Xmas hopefully they will have corrected my dose enough to stop the weight gain. :roll:

    Thanks again everyone I really appreciate your support! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
