Today was busy in that myself and my girlfriend went to meet with the surgeon.
He was very personable and agreed to do the total thyroidectomy on 17th July -less than one months time! Unfortunately this needs to be done privately and we discovered afterwards it will cost about 4,000 euros for surgery plus hospital stay. Health insurance won't cover it as its a pre-existing condition. But we're going to go for it anyway as this way it can be done dusted and into recovery before the baby arrives in August.
My symptoms have been improving very very slowly -up today at 10, showered etc, out to surgeon for appt at 11:40. Tired while waiting for surgeon and had to lie down for appt. came home and rested from 2 -slept for an hour. On net for two hours without too much tiredness. Tomorrow we'll see if I pay for today's activity!
Latest results from blood test last week were tsh 1.71 and 12.9 free t4. This is beginning to be in normal range of tsh
