Wow, we can now choose a theme for our journal entries. Mine will probably all be rambling if I am to be honest. I am tired of being tired right now. I have been so achy the last few months and it seems to be getting worse. My doctor says that my thyroid levels are normal right now so just keep doing what I am doing. That is not helping when it is getting worse instead of better. I need to figure...

Just back from 4 weeks in USA, had a great trip. Spent time in NYC, Bradenton and Miami Beach so had a pretty hectic time. Heading back to Endo on 8 May for another scan - thyroid nodules have grown quite a bit, so think it will be second round of RAI. Feeling quite tired but positive. Writing a list of question to ask - cos memory not great! Will wri...1 Recommendation2 Comments

I just got an e-mail from Nick he seems scared and trying to tell me.I don't know how to react, all I could do was cry. He told me that his Battalion lost 3 guys last week. The first for them. He didn't say how and I don't know if I want to know. I'm glad he couldn't see my reaction. I don't think I can do this for 14 more months. I feel sick all the time. He's my whol...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I guess I should say some positive things in my life instead of dwelling on the bad. Yes, my son is at war and I'm terrified everyday. But, he's alive and calls me quite a bit. Even though the girlfriend gets more.HA, just had to throw that in. I have a wedding for my oldest coming up in Sept. She's so excited about having me involved. We haven't always been close, it's ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

The abyss comes from the Greek word abismos which means something that has no end. In practically all the mythologies there exists a primordial abyss where all undifferentiated things appear, but in a chaotic manner. All cosmologies have then the aim of infusing logos, i.e order into this primordial state of things.
This confused, primordial state very quickly was perceived as a negative manifest...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

It was a really nice week end. Two of my kids son the championship games in their soccer tournaments and I was able to be there for all of the games. I enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather, talking to the other parents and of course the games. I am a bit sunburnt now. I think the med makes me even more prone to sunburn. I used sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses but stil...1 Recommendation2 Comments

I just have to vent because this is the second time that a nurse has told me that they have Graves and it's no big deal. I wasn't on meds yet.(doc didn't think I needed them) Once was in the hospital emergengy room when I was probably having a storm but my symtoms aren't as textbook as many others. Then again when I was at the opthamologist because I felt as is my eyes w...1 Recommendation1 Comment
