I went with my parents to my dad's Coumadin appt, finished reading 'Catching Fire', took Frankie to Noah's in PB for a bath, then managed to go to the gym for pilates and a short jaunt on the treadmill. It probably doesn't seem like a lot to most people, but it is a lot for me since I have only managed to do one, sometimes two activities each day since I my RAI dose at the beginning of this month. Amazingly it was not until my RAI dose that I finally started to feel severely hypothyroid. I don't want to over do it, but I think I need to see how much I can do so I can work myself back up to what would be expected of me during a normal (work) day.
Some good news for my dad yesterday was that he only needs to wear his heart monitor for 30 days (so by August 3rd he graduates from it!), and today at his appt his blood level is closer to what they'd like to see for his anticoagulant level. However, he over did it on our walk last night as he some how injured his lower back / top of his right glute. At least his attitude was much better today.
Here a photo of Frankie on the way back from Noah's. He's got the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen on a dog.
I took this picture of my scar outside because it was hot and sunny this morning. So, how does my neck look?
it's looking better for sure :) and it's funny that Yeti S(no)balls (yes, that is his official name!) has the same color eyes.
ReplyDeletethat is good news about dad- getting good news probably helped with his angst. it's nice that you are all taking strolls together... i love that idea!
i'm glad you are testing your limits in preparation for your return to work. good stuff, Flo!
