I live with a few issues which can really ruin my day…my week…my month…today is such a day and I admit that I am feeling sorry for myself. I have no thyroid…removed due to cancer…which means I find I have to manage my energy levels carefully. A big day or a late night can wipe […]
On this day, just two years ago, I was in hospital, having my thyroid removed due to cancer. I remember it well but can’t complain…my surgery went well, I only had one night in hospital and my recovery was smooth. The worst bit was the sore throat from the breathing tube…I think I consumed my […]
