I'm tired so this will be a short post as long as I don't ramble.
So it's Sunday, two days before the big day, D-day as I shall refer to it. It was a pretty uneventful day. I went to church, helped my pregnant sister move (well watch my husband help my pregnant sister move), then went down to my dad's to eat dinner and spend some time with him before he leaves town for the next week. I'm trying to hit up as many family members and friends this weekend as possible, ya know just in case.
Anyways while I was a church someone slipped me a note when they were passing around the little donation plates. For moment I felt like I was in school again lol, this note was from a fellow church member who a few years ago had battled thyroid cancer herself, the same kind I have. She went through two surgeries and chose against everyone's advice and opted to not do radiation. I know many people who have come forward to tell me about some disease they have with their thyroid mostly graves, some hypo, but this is the first I have met, besides the woman who trained me that had cancer. Which leads me to my next thought. Why are so many of us diagnosed with some type of thyroid disease? Is it higher in this area? Does it have to do with the fly ash from little blue? Or does it have anything to do with the power plants? Someone needs to call Erin Brockavich! It makes me worry for the health of my children.
Well I'm exhausted and I really need to clean my house because I refuse to come home to a dirty house after surgery. I will post tomorrow as I will be very anxious waiting for surgery. Goodnight!
