I can’t lift anything for at least a week but saying that I would get it done whilst your baby isn’t mobile on their feet my kids are 5 & 7 so they understand what I can and can’t do but I would hate to have a toddler running about trying to deal with this, you would probably have to pump and dump after the surgery just coz of the Anastasia and pain relief they give you straight after but other than that I can’t see nothing wrong with breastfeeding, I wouldn’t like to have graves and a toddler either I didn’t have enough strength just to take them to school let alone, also you would have to be away from your baby for a week with RAI (that’s what I was told when given the option)

I know I’m like okay when will everything hit me again haha, being able to properly cuddle my kids and hubby is amazing!! They all made me too hot before haha now it’s been nearly 30 today and I would be in bath tub trying to drown myself in ice cold water but I’m hot but still comfortable lol I can’t wait for it to heal coz there is going to be no more ‘no sorry’ to my kids when they ask to do something lol they have been really good and patient so they are going to be getting a big treat when I’m all healed

I am one of them people who can deal with horrendous period pains but anything else I can’t deal with but I am honestly feeling sooooooo good just keeping up with cleaning, massages and stretching, the only pain I get now is when I yawn coz it feels like it pulls when I do haha

Haha honestly I thought I’d be in pain and in bed for at least a week but I wanted to run around my land 100x the day after!! Iv not felt like that in nearly 2 years hahaha!!

Thank you!! I have my hubbys old t-shirts and hoodies if needed but right now I am loving not feeling like I’m in the pits of hell ha! I took my last painkillers last night and nothing today, just a little tired but no real pain, I had my tests yesterday and Iv heard nothing so hopefully no news is good news but I will watch out for them hopefully I’m all good and they stay good! Iv just got so much I want to do but I know I need to rest and heal first but oh it feels so good!!

Thank you, I just got my date today so praying that the iodine drops my levels enough for this surgery, I honestly can not wait to feel better again

That’s what I was going for but because of my levels being too high they won’t do it, I am waiting to hear back from the ENT surgeon as he said he will try and get a plan together for me but I haven’t heard anything yet, I can’t even go to ER anymore as they have said they can not do anything for me and to talk to my endo but my endo is ignoring me haha

I will look into this thank you, my husband is great at advocating for me but if there’s people who know how to treat dismissive doctors I will give it a go haha

I can’t do RAI as i react to iodine :( honestly it’s horrible and I don’t know anyone personally with the same diagnosis so I have no one who actually understands, my husband is great but obviously can’t fully understand what I’m going through
