Good morning everyone! This thread has been quiet lately but thanks to LMP for checking. I always view it that if the thread is quiet, people are doing well. angwill--glad that surgery is over. I've never had abdominal surgery but, I agree that I have heard it is the worst! I think *most* normal thyroidectomies are some of the easier surgeries but I think people really freak out about them because, after all, it is cutting your neck. Sounds worse than it is! I am hoping for a very good pathology report for you.
LMP--I have been reading a lot lately. I found a ton of books that were reviewed and rated well so I put them on hold at my library and, one by one, they are coming in. The bad part is when three of them come in and I have only three weeks to read them. Pitfulls of free books I guess!! Nothing I've read stands out. They are just general fiction stuff. I do have the new Amy Poehler book on hold so I'm looking forward to a little comedy. Healthwise I am doing okay and I don't see the endo until February. The only thing I've got going on is that for the last 3 weeks I have been sleeping HORRIBLY. I wake up every night around midnight (like clockwork) and I am HOT for hours. Not full-up hot flashes. Just hot. I've never been one to be a "hot" person but I am now. At 51, I assuming this is menopausal related. I've just never read about hours of being hot. It's weird. It keeps me up most of the night. Not sure what I"m going to do about it, though. Maybe start a menopause thread?
