I have a real hard time bending down to close my shoes. When I lay down to sleep, I have difficulty breathing. I had none of these problems a few years ago, when I was slim. Actually, I cannot believe that I have changed so much in so short a time. And all this because they removed my thyroid gland. The thyroid pills just do not replace the gland. But since it is gone, there is nothing I can do about it.
I was introduced to SPARKPEOPLE! And now I have hope to loose weight and live a little again.

Hey, Gloria - thanks for reading my blog and leaving the sweet note. I've had some rest and a muscle relaxer, feeling a little better now. Tomorrow is a new day!

Hi Gloria - sorry I missed your birthday- Hope you had a lovely day!
So glad you like photography! I bought a used Panasonic digital with a zoom lens. I also bought a scanner so I am starting to put the old family slides and photos on the computer.

I see you are a leader of the sleep apnea team. I should probably join. I had 3 trips to emerg with arrythmia where I had thrown off my heart rhythm when I stopped breathing at night. It took the docs many hours to slow down and regulate my heartbeat with meds but I did not want them to use the shock paddles on me. After the first attack I went to a heart specialist and he told me my heart was OK but this happens when you are older and overweight. I told him since I snored did he think I might have sleep apnea since this attack happened at 3am. He just shrugged his shoulders. When I had the next attacks a few months apart I looked on the internet and sure enough it said docs should be aware there is a link between arrythmia and apnea. So I did not go back to that heart specialist so he could just give me pills but had my GP send me to the sleep clinic and I was diagnosed with severe SA, 60 + incidents an hour. So now I have a C-pap and snorkle and am not having to go to the bathroom all night long, sleep thru the night, wake up without the headache and brain fog, and have interesting dreams. I have a wedge between my mattress and box spring so with that, and my better SP meals, I have greatly lessened my acid reflux. A few times lately I have woken up with a start so probably need my force level increased again from a 7. I have another appt in June with the sleep specialist. Now I am not tired and stay up to 3 am . I have to change that pattern so I can get up earlier!!
