Share our Joy, an Update

After my post on Sharing Their Joy, we would like to invite our readers, fellow bloggers, brothers and sisters in Christ to Share Our Joy! Rock just completed her medical and Thank God, everything is FINE! Hurray! Months of persistent exercises, healthy diet plus tears, groans and moans! Not forgetting the numerous prayers, encouragement and generous gifts and help received from many loving people around us. Rock is smiling more and can even crack jokes with me! Sometimes I worry because she could not stop laughing even after minutes after my silly jokes! To me the greatest achievement thus far is rock's acceptance of her condition and now truly learning to move on and leaving her traumatic 23 months behind. Although a small step in a way but all things start with small steps! She is agreeable to take evening walks round the neighbourhood too! The only thing her endocrine doctors are not too happy was her weight! She is at a trim 45Kg and remained there for the past 10 months! Slimmer than when I met her 37 years ago! I am sure you ladies who are weight watchers are green with envy! Well after some lengthy discussions, questioning and track backs so to say, the doctors discovered the cause of her static weight problem! Rock has a Thyroid problem and she is taking a medication called Thyroxine! Apparently Thyroxine cannot be taken with any drinks, cereals that contain milk! Somehow it cancels the effect! So for those who are on Thyroxine please take note. We'll be back to the doctors in 3 months time for another round of check-up and hope to see rock's weight improves. Not too sure she's happy with that but for her health sake she need to put on a bit more weight!
