Thyroid, ex-boss and purse .....

Hmm I was all set to pick up my daughter, and then I realised when halfway there, that she was staying at her friends for tea .... could have done without that, as you can imagine, after the £7 petrol episode this morning :(


I got Nathan's blood test results today, and the poor fella has an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism).  I take full responsibility for that as I have an overactive thyroid, and it is hereditary, so his would probably be hereditary too.  This explains a lot ... his weight gain, lack of energy, aches and pains etc., and although its not nice that he has this problem, it is good that he can receive treatment, plus with some dietary changes he will hopefully soon be back to his normal chirpy self, and will lose some of the excess weight once his metabolism is back on track :)


I think this is probably the reason he had a weird moment about a week or so ago, when I couldn't wake him up, and when he did wake he was acting drugged/drunk.  John and I were panicking and thought he'd swallowed something or sniffed something that had that effect on him, but after a while he seemed to recover, and couldn't remember anything about his weird behaviour.  Hypothyroidism can in extreme cases lead to coma if left untreated.  I had no idea!


I am amazed at some of the foods I have found, by searching online, that he shouldn't be eating .... things like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower, which I am always giving him thinking I'm being a good mum, are all in the no-no area.  I have been bad and feel very guilty.  But at least now I know what he should and should not be eating.  If he also has blood sugar problems, then I will have to think again, but the way to go seems to be wholefoods that haven't been tampered with, and seafood etc.  Luckily he loves carrots, because those are a definite yes-yes!


So there haven't been many opportunities today for any Chiggy Moments :)  because I haven't left the house since this morning, but I guess putting my purse in the fridge -could- count as one? What you think? :P  Time enough for further happenings when I am out and about .... have to go see my ex-boss in a minute, which should be interesting, as he forgot I was working a week's notice and terminated my employment early, so I will probably be stopped a load of tax out of my final pay packet, which he is holding onto to give me personally (why?), and also he failed to pay me my two days holiday pay :P  (Don's armour and gets ready for battle)  wish me luck! :D
