Well..I went to the funeral of a very dear friend of mine on Tuesday. She died from liver cancer last week after three years of treatment. The funeral was a celebration..and everyone was so strong for the family...so although the occasion was very sad indeed..it was also supporting and uplifting..it certainly puts any of my problems into perspective.
My father is still having problems with his prostate and had an operation last week..the operation was unsuccessful and he now has his colostomy bag back in place..and another infection!...He is 83..and the principal carer for my brother..who is now 58 and is Special Needs. I dont live local to them..which is a problem sometimes..and at other times a blessing.
My son was 18 on Sunday. He spent the day with his Father and by all accounts had an OK time..taking into consideration the barney they had on Saturday. I am glad he managed to recover quickly from the row...I still haven't recovered...but I'm getting there. My son also told me that after he has finished his exams he will be going to live with his Dad. He says that he will be able to save more money for Uni if he lives with his Dad. I was gutted...but didn't say so. It still hurts..and I suppose it always will.
I read today on a discussion group posting today that people with Hypothyroidism sometimes take things much harder and also dont recover from stress as quickly as "normal" people. Perversely I was very relieved to read that..I thought it was just me...and as there is so much going on in my life at the moment..well..I can accept more easily why I am feeling so low..but of course..no-one else will know except those of you who read this. ....my brave face is very firmly fixed..again..and on balance I am feeling rather better than I was a couple of days ago..so I have changed my smiley to ..OK...
