The good news is that all the blood work came back normal, so supposedly there is no issue with the thyroid. The thinking is that the combination of several medications (for hives) was causing an increased heart rate. I decided to stop all medication last night and see what happens. I think I just need to go several weeks with no medicine. I feel like I've been taking medication for the longest time. I was having horrible heartburn and was feeling shaky w/all the medication. Today has been a better day of feeling well w/no new hives. I am still drinking special herbal tea from the acupuncture specialist.
I get the foot stitches removed Friday morning at 8:15am. I had students today at work and walked a lot, so I'm feeling it somewhat tonight. Keep praying that the incision will remain closed, no infection will develop and healing will occur naturally as it should. Thankfully, the swelling has been minimal. It has been nice to be able to put full weight on the foot. I've been at mom & dad's house this week (no driving this week), but probably will go home this weekend.
Toe motion has continued since the surgery, so I'm thrilled that it wasn't lost. Tired feet tonight .... need to get them elevated and am looking forward to a foot soak this weekend. Many thanks for your prayers!
Love,
Jenny
