ThyCa

After a rocky start to my day I have found the ability to laugh in the face of my ThyCa (Thyroid Cancer). I'm finally coming to a point of facing the sickness instead of running from it and denying it. Though I hate it and the changes it has put my body through it feels good to laugh. I would have never found this funny in my healthier days, but today it's better than stand-up. Currently I am struggling with a heart arrhythmia and a curious lump under my right arm in the breast tissue not to mention low levels of thyroid hormone. I'm getting through however, God reminds me every day that he is holding me through it all. Even when I try to forget what I've been through I see my scar in the mirror and remember that without it I wouldn't be who I am today. I logged on to the website thyca.org and was able to find some relief in humor. It may not be funny to any of you but to me it is hilarious. Sing it to Camp Town Races...
ThyCa patients sing this song,
Doo-dah, doo-dah.
ThyCa listserv's five miles long,
Oh, the doo-dah day.

See them chatting 'bout the foods to eat,
Doo-dah, doo-dah.
Low-iodine diet - most do cheat,
Oh, the doo-dah day.

Goin' to crave all night!
Goin' to crave all day!
I can't wait for a ham and cheese.
Weight gain, go away!

When you're hypo, you're brain's in a fog,
Doo-dah, doo-dah.
All you wanna do is sleep like a log,
Oh, the doo-dah day.

It's isolation time for me,
Doo-dah, doo-dah.
Drink and pucker, puke and pee
Oh, the doo-dah day

Goin' to glow all night!
Goin' to glow all day!
The room's decorated with plastic wrap,
Wonder how long I gotta stay?!

Tee Hee!
