Thyroid

I spoke too soon.

I have been off my meds since my b-day (mid November). Since I was taken off, I thought I was cured. I gave my blood yesterday and thought this would confirm me no longer needing Synthroid.

I spoke too soon.

I got a call from the nurse saying they have my results.

Wow that was fast.

Fast is never good.

My Thyroid did not register on the test. Meaning my thyroid is not working. At least it appears that way. Explains why my weight loss has slowed. Don't look at the chocolate cake I am eating.

The next step? I need to get a cat scan done of my thyroid, For those of you who don't know, the thyroid is on the front of your neck. I am not looking forward to it.

The best part is that I did not get a chance to get to the Dr's office before they closed to get the form to schedule this darn thing.

I hate this.

So I ate today - way too much. We are not talking about it. Better next week.

I don't do well with stress.

I hope I feel up for a walk tomorrow, I need it.

So Sweetie and I were emailing, trying to decide where to eat. I e-mail Pok-e-Joes and I get a call. I go through my greeting and I hear "sometimes you scare me". Sweetie sounded dead serious. I was thinking that it wasn't cool for him to change his "everything is fine with your thyroid" tune, even if he was worried.

After I ask why, he explains that just as he was calling me to suggest Pokejoes, he got the email where I suggested it. We were thinking it at the same time - how sweet.

OK so he thought it was creepy too, but that is my man.
Lunch did help. I am not going to worry - right. OK I am going to try not to worry.
