I'm absolutely wrecked.
We've spent the past few days uptown in a hospital, dealing with tests, tests & more tests.
My dear husband has been diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease & currently only has use of one of his eyes. The other is shut & when held open, has double vision. He starts treatment on monday, a dose of steroids each week for a month & a half. Hopefully this will be enough & further treatments won't be needed.
He is most upset that he is unable to drive, it is his most favourite thing. There is a chance that he may not be able to race for quite some time. That's him below, racing at Phillip Island.
I may not be around much over the next few weeks. I'm emotionally & physically drained.
I'm staying positive though & we're just taking one day at a time. There's a few big decisions to be made. Big decisions scare me. Once I've made them I'm fine... it's just the whole lead up to them.
Huckle's birthday party is tomorrow. All of our lovely friends & family are helping the party happen. I am so grateful for their support, I really wouldn't have coped on my own. So, so grateful.
I hope you're having a gorgeous weekend.
Chat soon. x

All the best. Wish I could help with the big decisions to get them out of your stress level but they are always best left to those in the know. I like your attitude about when you have made them though. Cherrie

Damn thyroids. They can be quite the pesky body parts when they decide to play up. I hope the treatment works perfectly and everything settles down soon. Stay strong and enjoy your little mans day. All the best to all of you.
