For people who don't have Twitter (and those who do), I have a bit of explaining to do.
Since the end of June, I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping. Even when I did finally pass out, I wasn't getting any rest. So I've been going to the doctor's, having sleep studies, and getting labwork done, etc. I also went out on short-term disability. A few days ago I went back to the doctor's for a followup.
They found growths in my thyroid.
We don't know what it means yet, and I have to wait until October to find out if it is spreading or not. On top of that I have severe sleep apnea that they want me to get surgery to fix, I am either diabetic or pre-diabetic, they want me to have lapband sugery, and they are changing my normal meds and giving me four additional ones to take, including something that is supposed to help me with weight loss and concentration issues.. They also suspect that there may be issues with my reproductive system.
I didn't really take the news very well at first, it was a little overwhelming.
But I do understand that I have to keep my chin up, take it one step at a time, and do what I can so that things don't get worse and I end up having a stroke in my sleep.
I'll just have to wait and see what October brings. In the meantime, I will do my best to catch up with everything and everyone. *bows deeply*
