Day Two

What to call a blog is one of my difficult decisions. So many I have just made one quickly with thought of making up a better one later. Then never do... have goal this week of going back into this account, add writings not posted, correcting, and editing, maybe finding a picture or two - not happening yet.

Taking the synthroid yesterday was ok. I actually think I felt better in just one day. Could be just getting over the anestetic from surgery or just another day of healing, but I do like thinking it is the hormones going into body again. AFter talking to several people taking this med, they tell me they have no rules and regulations for taking it. Therefore am hoping this is, perhaps, just a temporary thing although Mom has had to follow the 1 hour rule before breakfast for 20 years. Go figure. Sometimes the worse thing about being sick or having health problems is that different doctors do different things.

I noted that the muscle aches, a lot of the anxiety and depression mellowed out. Have managed to fit in the calcium via the 8 Tums a day I have to take well, although the day got away from me and I ended up taking the last dose of Tums at 1 in the morning when awoken from sleep and remembering. whew...

Problem today, well since surgery, to be honest is constipation. ARGH! one can not talk about that here!!! hahaha, I can and am, some. Trying to be sensitive but if you do not like such talk, bye for now... Seems if I take much more laxative products I should end up with diarreaha. Not yet. Actually, four days later have only passed stool a little bit and am rather worried. The Senna worked so well last surgery, I figured this would be good for this one. Perhaps taking Hydrocondone rather than Vicodan makes one dryer, or just taking out thyroid does this more, but at this point, the worse thing in this healing is not going to bathroom consistently. Added Miralax the last two nights also and can feel "things" moving around inside but still need that full emptying.

Went shopping with P for only an hour yesterday so got some good food here. That was nice but surprising how tired I did get out and about. No one looked at me like I was Frankenstein thank goodness, but like P said, "If they look at you and get freaked out, they need to just look away."  Yep. Then my other P friend came over in afternoon to visit. Wonderful! Love creative friends coming around and showing me what they have been doing. Nice Photoshop collages she does with old copyright free images and her own. She also brought carrot soup she made! That was the best and I have more with brown rice for this afternoon's lunch.

OK, need to do some other things for now...
