Feeling Better

After about a week and a half of Methimazole medication my condition has improved remarkably. I no longer feel poisoned and exhausted all the time. I’m not so itchy but my voice will still disappear now and then. I’ve gained some weight back and my heart has calmed down.

The top picture is what I look like tonight. Nicole looked at the bottom picture (from a week and a half ago) and she said “That looks like Patrick Swayze.” Flash photography does little for anyone’s features, but I felt as bad as I look.

More good news - Nicole and I are moving, we’re going to rent a condo in Pasadena. Pictures and details to follow.

Saturday was fun. Nicole and Mom went to hear a writer speak at a women’s club and I took myself out to breakfast. I still can’t have coffee but I went to Starbucks afterwards and ate pastries. All the while I was reading the book Sideways, ha!, so entertaining! I can’t recommend it because it’s appalling, but I was ever slapping my knee. We borrowed the Ciaran Hinds version of “The Mayor of Casterbridge” DVD from the library and we went to Moffetts chicken pie shoppe for dinner. The horror of Hyperthyroid is abating.
