I’ve been binge watching Parenthood all day… resting… and it’s confirmed I don’t do well ‘resting’. 🙂 I’m going to go to hop between friends’ homes this week in order to ‘rest’…otherwise I’ll see the thousands of things I could do / ‘need’ to do around the house and nothing will stop me. Trust me, two days after surgery I was cleaning the kitchen. Not to be a bad ‘A’ mom but because it drove me nuts that it wasn’t done yet (assuming it was GOING to be done)…but I felt that effort immensely too. 🙁
I’m four days out and still feel the effects of the anesthesia. I was under for 4 hours instead of 2 so I guess that is normal. And my trip to Mass last night about wore me out. I was dizzy when I got home. Plus I’m about to make a trip to St. Thomas to see Ryan sing for both Choir and his upcoming musical “Adams Family” in their Round Up program so I know I need to really cool it.
With that being said, this is all I will write but I will share a video I did earlier. I sat up last night, when I couldn’t sleep because I’m trying to ween myself off the pain meds, watching YouTube videos of other people’s thryoidectomy experiences. They were SO HELPFUL and then it dawned on me this morning that I do this. Why not do my own video for those that are going through the same thing I am with the same questions because I have the lymph node involvement etc? I mean, my surgery wasn’t as we thought it would be…it was more detailed and she took way more than what she expected. I had yet to see a video on that or hear another’s experience so I figured I’d share mine.
So here is my video. I plan to do another once I get my pathology results back. Thank you all once again in supporting me and your prayers. I love you all!!
Blessings
