Out & About
Had a mini trip into town this morning...not sure it was wise in hindsight, but I was very glad to get out and do something, even if it made me feel absolutely shattered and extra-wobbly for the rest of the day.
Of course it was one of the hottest days we've had, so I felt a right wally staggering around town with a scarf wrapped around my neck. In hindsight, perhaps the 'freak-stares' that my scar would have earned would have been preferable to the sweaty, beetroot face I presented to the public instead.
But its Mum's birthday on Monday, so not trusting hubby's card-buying or present-buying abilities, I lost them in the supermarket, and went off to do some secret shopping.
Of course, all this had to wait until the after-effects of taking Eltroxin (see yesterday's blog) had done their worst, and my dose of Imodium had kicked in and started working...ho hum!
I know you're just dying to see how my neck looks now, so here you go gore-fans:

Uh oh - New Meds Blues
Took my first dose of Eltroxin this morning...and it went straight through me :(
Checked the data sheet, and sure enough diarrhoea and stomach cramps are listed as a side-effect.
99% sure that its the Eltroxin...as my other meds haven't changed at all in the last 5 days.
I guess only time will tell. At the end of the day, now that I'm technically hypothyroid, there aren't too many options for medication...so my body is just going to have to suck it up princess!
Other than that...I guess I feel OK. Still wiped out, wobbly & tired....but SO nice to sleep in my own bed last night.
Although I still found myself waking up at 2am waiting for my bloods to be taken, waking up at 4am for my blood pressure to be checked, 6am for the drugs trolley, and was most surprised that my surgeon was a "no-show" in my bedroom at 8am...although, if he had turned up, my husband would have been incredibly surprised! Ha ha!
