Hang in there! ❤️😊 

Hanging by my toes!! 

Melissa you are so great! Thank you for always checking on me. You are a wonderful friend! 

I'm not so wonderful. 😊 I just have a few special folks that I've come to really appreciate, and I want to know how they are doing. ❤️ Sadly, I get busy and don't come on as frequently at times or only see a few post that come up on my "feed." But, if you don't mind my asking, how are you doing? You are taking a diuretic... How are your thyroid levels? Is summer treating you OK... Even if it is this awful 2020? 

I am doing as well as I can be. Don’t go out much as at my age the virus Would not be nice. However, the vomiting is on a reprieve I found if I eat more food at lunch I don’t get nauseous in the evening so no nausea no vomiting. Not great for my diet. Also, my last labs were great in May. And thyroid has not been changed since half was removed in January. I was freezing until I was hot. Though I can get very cold in shorts with a fan on. We only use ac at night! The acid reflux I would never know I had is very bad they say. And gallbladder will be checked again in August I think. I will keep you updated. Again thanks!!! Your kindness is appreciated so much here!! 

Well, at least it is good news about the thyroid doing its job even with the surgery. That you have figured out a plan that keeps you feeling better is good, but still limits for sure. My husband has asthma quite badly whenever he gets sick, so we sure want to take precautions, but having young adults that work and live at home, our exposure is highish. 2020..... Quite the year... Anyway, hang in there! I'm cheering for you!!!! ❤️
