Chapter 448

• I stared at my phone. There was nothing from Charlotte, no texts and no missed calls. I don’t know why I expected her to send a message or call. She’d made it clear. She didn’t want to hear from me. I sent a text to David and told him that I would start the medication the following day and he sent a thumbs up back to me.
• Go big or go home. For the next ten days I had to take four drops of Lugol Solution three times a day along with methimazole to suppress the functions of my thyroid before the surgery. I knew exactly what was in store for me.
• It wasn’t a pretty sight. Some days there would be vomiting with headaches, other days diarrhea and fever, stomach aches and the ever awful metallic taste in my mouth that didn’t seem to want to go away. My appetite had disappeared completely and most days I felt drained.
