Dear Friends,

In the spirit of sharing which I am trying to embrace, I have more news. I received my flu vaccine Friday. I guess in my weakened condition after having pneumonia, my body couldn’t handle it, so I came down with, you guessed it, the flu! Today I am starting to feel like a human being, but I’m so exhausted. I’ve slept and slept and then slept some more. My family Dr. can’t give me any more antibiotics because of the C. Diff. infection, so we have to muddle through this with decongestants and Tylenol.

My thyroid levels are very strange. One test is very, very low, which means I should be hyper. However, I’m so tired I can barely move, so nothing makes sense. She is running tests to check for thyroid antibodies. She is also checking for thyroid cancer. I also have some “lumps” under my arms. I had to call a surgeon today to make an appointment. He’ll decide if he wants to remove them, then biopsy or what. I have a past history so I can’t take any chances there.

Prayers and good thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jan
