I am so glad you posted an update. I am so sorry that your thyroid is acting up. Hopefully your physician will get you back up and on your feet in no time.
As for the job...you did the right thing in advising them that you were quitting. Your health and happiness are far more important than trying to work a job when you aren't well. Who knows...they just might find you a better position and more money in the mix. I'll keep my fingers crossed for good things to come.
As for your h, they tend to poke their heads out when the holidays are approaching. I've seen this happen quite often. He's thinking about you often and it took quite a bit of nerve to ring you up. You may not hear from him again for another 30 days or so...but I think he will contact you again before the holiday season is over.
Lou, please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
