Other shows to reddit with

How can we keep this party going after Monday?

I watch a lot of TV shows on the major networks. Does anyone else here participate in a live watch reddit of other shows?

A year later

It has been a year since I had my thyroid removed due to some cancer found there. The removal of my thyroid came with mental side effects I could not have predicted.  I find myself wondering today if I'm back where I was before the surgery, or even close. I was making strides and challenging myself.  I had even flown on a plane not too long before then. After the surgery, I turned into someone I did not recognize. It got so bad that I was afraid to leave the house.  I even felt fearful getting the mail.  I don't want to be that girl ever again.

After conversations with different doctors, it was determined that my thyroid medicine was too high and that's why my anxiety was ramped up and my stomach too.  The stomach issues did not make me feel like it was safe to leave the house.  I'm glad I was able to advocate for myself.  I just wish I had done it sooner before it derailed my life and my progress.

I will say that I am still working on myself.  My metabolism finally got back to "oh, yeah. Hi! I'm here. Now you can wear ALL your pants again instead of the ONE pair that fit." So that was nice. I am praying.  I am probably praying more than I was.  I have started listing out what I'm thankful for each day and telling God about it. I don't think I would be where I am today without Him.  It was getting kinda dark at times. I see the same therapist that I started with, though I feel bad that we've had such a detriment to progress. I just need to remember to shoot for progress not perfection.  I can say I am doing things I was not doing last fall and I want to add more and more things to that list every week.

It's strange to celebrate a vital organ being gone but it did need to go.  The cancer would probably have grown and spread and nobody wants that. They caught it super early but the recommendation was still removal. I am forever grateful to my PCP for feeling an abnormality before I could and my surgeon for doing the surgery.  So I'm just feeling things today. Thanks for reading.

I opened the app today and now my list of all notes is different. Its always been sorted by date modified but now there are gaps between today and other days. Today just has one note and then a large gap. Is there a way to fix this?
