This is not the "Last Supper" from the bible but I can guarantee the Lord has something in store for me :) I am on the path to finishing up my thyroid cancer (George) fiasco. When I had the surgery I was in need of following up with a radiation pill that kills of the rest of the cancer. Well, I guess I was busy :) and I put it on hold. However I can't ignore it forever (but I'd like too) so we started up the process. December 25 I got off my thyroid meds. The goal is to put my body in major hypothyroidism. That consist of fatigue, hair loss and cloudy thoughts. Which is all relative to me. I have 5 kids, define fatigue. My hair falls out all the time, just look at my vacuum, and no one has ever accused me of being put together mentally. I will say my patience are much thinner. Because my organization has fallen by the way side things irritate me, and on top of it, Macy wants to potty train!! God's having a big belly laugh about this right now. Oh well, with that being said I have to be on a low iodine diet for 2-3 weeks prior to/after radiation. Let me tell you the last time I was on a diet. NEVER!! I have a mental condition that if I tell myself I CANNOT have something, I will eat 10X as much of it. Iodine is in in red dye, milk, yogurt, many dairy products, some fish and most salts. Salt is in EVERYTHING, as is dairy. Even meat that is processed or frozen has extra salt in it. So it's fruits, veggies and fresh fruit. I was quite dramatic about this for the past week :) My poor husband :) But I have decided Laura Ingells lived numerous years without processed foods I will survive.
"With My help you can overcome any obstacle. Do not expect an easy path as you journey hand and hand with Me, but do remember I am your very-present helper, am omnipotent."
Wasn't that appropriate :) This is a miner little hurdle. God always see's us through.
Luke 1:37 "For no word from God will ever fail.”

Praying for you! An eighteen year old from church was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I thought of you. I myself have had hypothyroidism most of my life--I don't remember being tired all of the time. I just really loathed gym class because I'd get tired. I think being a mom does make us more exhausted, definitely!Thanks for the update.
