Hello and good morning (10a Chicago time)!
I had my partial thyroid lobectomy on the 30th and after a few days of much needed rest I went to the gym with my husband this morning. It was a little bit of a struggle to wake up at my normal time (4am-ish) but we still made it. We did some light walking and biking, he did check ins on me throughout and we went home. It felt great! I am a very active person and between the sadness about the thyroid and then the actual surgery I just didn’t have the mental capacity to go to the gym. Going to the gym with someone I love and who supports me so much was desperately needed this Monday.
As I wait for pathology, sometimes I get a little anxious and depressed (I’m only human ig) but finding little things to find joy in has really helped. Now onto the next boss fight - FINALS WEEK!
