All is good my hair is not falling out and my legs and arms don't hurt anymore but for the last two weeks my menory is off again. I promise you if I lay it down I can't find it five minutes later. Yesterday my husband and I had a lot of running around to do and I had to search for my cell phone four times. Wasn't sure if i put it in my pants pocket, jacket, purse or laid it on the car seat. My husband ask me wherer was his bluetooth and i swore i had not seen it when in fact I had taken it and put it on the charger. So why just the memory when everything else is good and am I hyper or hypo or just plain dasrn nuts. Nataliue help me here causer you always make me laugh.
My brain was so fryed at one point and I made a date with my dear friend to just go sobbing with a big piece of chocolat cake at Cousin's. Well, I got in my car, backed out of the garage just to crash into the garage door ...uuuhm ... I forgot to open the darn thing! I was besides my self. That was one of my ultimate lows. Needless to say I ordered an extra piece of cake ... I think.
Two weeks before that (or was it after, I don't remember) I strapped in my son in the car seat, got in to my car, back out of the poor garage again and busted out a piece of dry wall .... forgot to close the back passenger door which was now wedged into the wall. My husband waited to patch it untill he felt my brain was reliable again.
See ... it is not funny At ALL. It is very sad. No laughing matter.
LOL.
We need massages, bonbons, stiff drinks, a hawaii vacation in the sun, win the lotery and a cabana boy .... with big muscles and a toothpaste smile. One for each of us sad, pittyfull, whiny thyroid sufferers. And a private yoga instructor. And a cook. And a personal hairdresser and liposuction and a cute bikini.
We really need this to feel a bit better ... it would be a great start in our healing process. I forgot what else we need. OH yeah, automatic garage door opener and a phone with legs for Snippy that will follow you like a puppy.
If he could just have a little glass of White Zin.....I'll be all set :)
