Post op day, what is this? 4 yes... Day 4. I'm slowly starting to feel better. Nowhere near normal and sure as hell nowhere near how I felt before surgery ( now that's both good and bad.) I actually had a really good day yesterday I just wore myself out too much to blog last night.
Jimmy didn't want to stay in the house yesterday so we went out gallivanting. That alone wore me out so I ended up coming home to take a nap, when I woke up my arms and hands were all cramped upped so I had to take an extra dose of tums ultra. I'm getting so sick of eating those damn things. I wish they didn't have to be so damn hard to chew.
Today I woke up feeling pretty fantastic, I cleaned a little but I'm still so weak in my arms. I can't even open a damn jar of pickles what the heck! Then I started feeling like shit, light headed and dizzy, burning up hot, then freezing cold, plus this tingling in my whole face that I have off and on, and it's not the tingling in your lips when your calcium is low, it's more around my eyes and cheeks, and to top it off. I'm on the pill ok. I take it every day at the same time and I have for some reason started my period so I am a major bitch! I think the thyroidectomy itself puts you through emotional changes, I'm going to freaking kill someone soon. Lol this is not a smooth transition. We had a lot of visitors today so maybe it was just the stress of the day, I don't know. One day at a time I guess. Tomorrow, our plan is to go to church. So I'm going to try to do my hair, we will see how that goes with limited movement in my neck with this giant incision (5 inch) and some muscle removed. I don't want to do anything fancy just straighten it. Maybe I could talk my husband into doing it? It's crazy how you take everyday things like that for granted. I learning to not take things for granted anymore. Well I'm going to do some neck stretches and then go to sleep, up bright and early to take my synthroid in the morning! Night all
