Personal musings of Marianne Taylor

January sans bathroom

4th January 2007

Miraculously, my muscles didn’t ache at all today. Yay. I was expecting not being able to get out of bed. 😀 Yeah so, I guess I might go again…

I forgot to talk about my doctor’s appointment yesterday. It was my first control visit after starting the medication three months ago, and all the blood tests showed that the thyroxine works. The test results came back practically normal. So that’s brilliant news. 🙂 And I did suspect it as well as I’ve been feeling so much better. Still, the doctor referred me to a hospital for an ACTH Stimulation Test, I suppose to rule out Addison’s Disease. I don’t think I have Addison‘s though as none of the symptoms, apart from the hair loss, really fit. But it’s somehow linked with Hypothyroidism and my cortisol tests keep coming back quite low, so I guess it’s good to get it checked out for good. I hope the test itself isn’t very nasty. 😐

The long awaited – and dreaded – bathroom renovation starts next week. It’s really not an ideal time for it financially, but we have to do it at the same time as the other flats, otherwise the housing company doesn’t pay for any of it. The timing means we can’t really do much apart from changing the flooring and fittings. Oh, one thing we did decide to do after all is to gut the whole sauna and get all new wood in. Initially we were only going to change the seating, but apparently it would look awful to have new wood against old darkened paneling. So yeah, I suppose it’ll be worth it when we come to sell this place at some point… We’re gonna go hunt for a cheap sink and a cabinet today. And we’re crossing our fingers that the workmen will break our toilet seat whilst taking it out so we don’t have to pay for a new one ourselves. 😛

Oh yeah, still haven’t done the looking back at the year thingy. I will soon!
