Earlier today the consultant came round and told me I'd be going home today.
Unfortunately my calcium levels are still a bit low and I've had more
tingling sensations in my hands and arms. The supplement they gave my
earlier doesn't seem to have taken effect yet but a couple of quick tests
show that the problem is not too pronounced. I suspect that my body is just
taking longer to adjust to the new situation than I'd like but there's a
possibility that I'm not producing enough PTH now the enlarged gland is
removed, or that there's some other problem metabolising calcium.
I suspect I'm going to be stuck here another night though, unless my calcium
levels stabilise soon. Shite.
