Today has been the quietest birthday I've ever had. Got a lovely big chocolate cake and some nice goodies and cards which were really appreciated.
On the down side, I've just not been able to enjoy it. It's been a rather awful week. I went back to the doc's and got more tests done yesterday. Weight has ballooned to a scary degree. I told the doc that I have thrown the towel in, given up, can't take it any more. I explained I was struggling to breathe let alone walk! Not me at all. This bad boy liver of mine needs beaten with a stick! lol. I have to laugh cos my emotions are all over the place and I cry constantly for no reason.
The doc was good. There had been a problem with my thyroid still being way too underactive, so he has upped the dose. He is a good man and I think he understood that I was at the end of my tether. To have gone up 4 and a half stone was a shock in itself, It's just so desperately uncomfortable!
I was given more tablets to take, making that a total of 4 a day from now on! Hmmm. On a positive note I was receiving a couple of birthday calls earlier when one turned out to be a lady from the hospital!!! and I am booked in for this coming Tuesday
.
Funny to be having a cup of cocoa to celebrate my day with!! lol.and of course another slice of cake! lol. Sorry for being a wee whingy pants but I thought I should "update". I have enjoyed going round the journals leaving comments and will continue to do so, even If I don't post. I will probably look for something funny to put on again until things start getting better. I hope you are all having a great weekend so far.
Take Care Back Soon xx

Important things first-Happy Birthday xxx
As for the rest dont worry----yes its easier said than done I know. You can imagine what my thoughts were when I was diagnosed with cancer but 11 years later I am sitting here free from it, you just have to trust the doctors and especially those angels-nurses. My thoughts are with you

Happy Birthday!
sorry to hear your still not up to par, but hopefully when all the tests are finalised something can be done. Putting on weight like tha is horrid I put on two and a half stone last year because I gave up smoking still finding it hard to shift, and with my blood pressure so high, just feel crap most of the time lol.
Choclate cake sounds good, and your not being a "whingy pants", at all, and it helps getting it all out in the open then its not so scary.
Enjoy Sunday

ps Gave Adam your message. He thought you were very funny.
If you can't eat chocolate cake on your birthday when can you eat it? Just you go for it Pam. You deserve a wee treat to cheer yourself up. I have read back through your entries and you have been having a worrying time. I hope the hospital is able to give you a positive diagnosis. I will be thinking of you until I hear from you again. Good luck and all the best.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Much love and good wishes.

happy birthday, Pam!! Love the chocolate cake!! Yum!! Hang in there with the thyroid, its amazing one "little" gland can cause our whole body to get out of whack; glad the doctor is working on that and your other medical problems going on; hoping things get resolved quickly in that regard
betty
Happy Birthday to you! Keep yourself busy. Will be thinking of you... and looking forward to your entries.
Hi Pam,
Happy Birthday! It sounds like you've indeed had an awful week but Birthdays are Birthdays regardless and they should be filled with chocolate cake and all the good things in life. Hang in there ... I'm sending some positive vibes your way from California.
Best,
Marty

Happy Birthday!
Sending hugs your way,

Happy Birthday dear friend! I never thought you were whiney. You have a lot on your plate that would create a load of stress for anyone. Above all your human....I would rather you wrote an entry complained, cried and got it out of your system. You shouldn't have to hold it all in and worry about keeping our spirits up when your under the weather. I love your fun post too, but I won't stop coming by when you need to have friends rallying around you just because your upset. In the end it makes you real. No one is happy all the time. We understand more than you realize. Keep your chin up hon and enjoy being you for another wonderful year. (Hugs) Indigo
Ooopps! Sorry I missed you birthday. That's me, a day late and a dollar short. Glad you have a doctor that listens to you! Keeping you in prayer. - Barbara
