Wobbly & Dizzy

I am still laying low...thought I was starting to feel better but went backwards today. I think it is my new medication making me feel very wobbly and dizzy. Will need to call the endocrinologist tomorrow to see if this is normal being new on the thyroid replacement medication. I am finding it hard to do anything but lay on the couch. I keep thinking about getting into my studio to work but with no energy and a dizzy head that is too hard to do. So for now I will just keep to the couch with the purring and drooling cats, they are very happy and content with me where I am.

Calling Dr.Kildare


As some of you know I need to have surgery to have my thyroid removed and tomorrow is the day....not something I am looking forward to but will be glad when its done. I am not an early morning person and need to be at the hospital in Nashville at 5:30am....uuuuggghhh. This surgery will require an overnight stay, the first for me since I have not been a inpatient before, thankfully I have gotten this far in my life without many hospital visits.
See you when I get back...

Yin and Yang



I had to go into the city this morning for a Doctor's appointment, and while I have to do something I am not fond of doing I always try to add something fun to do the same day....it balances me out. To my luck there was an antique estate sale starting today just 6 miles out of the city...cool for me, a little treasure hunting after my appointment. The sale did look promising online but when I got there it was not as great as I had hoped . I did walk away with a few items, as you can see they need some cleaning up and polishing, but good finds.

The Doctor's appointment on the other hand.... as I expected, I need to have surgery and have my thyroid removed. A recent biopsy revealed some large tumors but so far not a malignancy. I was hoping to have surgery the sooner the better but I must wait about 4 weeks. A nasty scar and medication for the rest of my life, but I quess it could be worse so I will not complain.
