Steve and Liz,

Thanks for your comments. My husband was pretty self-sufficient re/ feeding most of the way through the treatment(except he couldn't drive due to narcotics and distance). But you're right- he has to get a hold of this to a greater extent for his own recovery and for our relaitonship. I have made strides in doing less and so that he will do more each day but he is nowhere near his old self.

Steve, did you get better re/ being cold? I know that lots of people get thyroid problems months or even years after treatment but I haven't seen people post much about that. Do you take meds for that or did it resolve?

Thanks so much for responding- Sophie
