*** TGIF @ the Thyroid Pub **** Your Social Thread not only cause it's Friday, but it's the end of Thyroid Awareness Month - so .....

[ChitChatNine]

let's take a minute to reflect upon this past month --- what are your thoughts?   Was Dr. Lupo's WebChat something you enjoyed?  Were you able to let others know about thyroid this month?  If not, that's ok .. maybe you learned something you didn't know yourself about your own thyroid?  I know I did!

So TGIF .. not only is it the endof the week, but it's the end of Thyroid Awareness Month and because of people like us --- we can help each other in a way that we are so very proud of on this community as we move into the months to come.

Let 'er roll... Happy Friday!!!!

January.... Hmmmm... Where did the month go?  Chitchat, to answer your question, no, I did not tell others about thyroid awareness month.  I try to bring up my thyroid as little as possible around the people I know.  I don't want them to think I dwell in the muck that "was" my thyroid cancer.  With the proclaimation by my doc last month, that I have less than a 2% chance of re-occurance, I've put that behind me.  I come here to learn, share, and to see if I can help someone once and a while... and to be frank, for the pubs! ...when I can, and they're up and functioning!  So let's get our PARTY on!

I did enjoy reading over Dr. Lupo's responses to all of your questions after the fact, but I did not join in live.  He has the power to help so many people with just a couple of posts...

So I'm off to get my day started.  I will check back in later, as it's only 9am here and a little early for a cocktail for me, even a bloody mary...  But there will be a designated bartender later, right?

My thyroid is wacked out again (with normal blood as always!!!)  but I am making it.  Got some great answers from Dr. Lupo and will soon be seeing a doc about my eye... when I find time that is.

January has been a sad month for me... my mother in law is loosing her battle with cancer fast and I don't believe she be with us much longer.  Its so sad to see my husband go through the pain that I already know so well.  Say some prayers for her comfort please.  I think that is all I can ask for now.

Happy Friday All....

January has been an anxious month at my house.......My thyroid med was cut in half and I feel really weird.  I hope it's just a bug.  

My recent college grad son has been impacted like so many others by the economy.  He is heading toward the military and is taking the OCS exam today.  (Good Luck T!!!).  

My upcoming foot surgery (doc will web 2 toes together to stabalize 1) is freakin me out .   :(  

  

But...this weekend in southwest PA it's all about the STEELERS!!!!

Me, too .. I am better WITHOUT my real thyroid (well, half and the dysfuctional non producing other half still there and dead LOL) ...............I am lucky and blessed and I realize this ... YOU have been such a help to me through the past two years and I am lucky to know you and call you my friend.

Yes, such optimism .. spring is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

This past month has been rough. I always have to fight my January depression.
But Spring is only a month away. March 1st the redbuds start to bloom and my depression lifts. I love that spring comes early here in Oklahoma.
I planted lots of tulips and daffodils last fall so I  cant wait for them to bloom.

I feel better without my thyroid that I ever felt with it. Life is good now. I beat the cancer and I am a better person now.
Love Venora
