I went in for a blood test on Tuesday to measure my TSH levels for the first time since surgery.
I haven't gotten my results yet, I'm hoping I will soon.
Depending on these results, I would either stay on my current 112 mcg dose of Synthroid, or be lowered to 100mcg. I am really hoping I don't have any side effects from this... This is the part I dread most.
So I go to the hospital to get my blood drawn. It's a first come first serve basis and they opened at 8:30 a.m.
So I get there 8:30 a.m. thinking I should be 3rd, maybe 4th?
Nope. I am number 10! Ok, well, it still shouldn't be so bad. I had a 10:30 appointment with the Nuclear Med doctor which was moved up to 9:45.
I waited over an HOUR. By the time my name was called, it was 9:35 a.m.
Only 1 person drawing blood. But she was just so SLOW!!!!!!!!
On top of that, see what she did to me?
That is the spot I drew blood. Now, I normally bruise easy, but never in my life had I had a bruise this big.
Damn. Never going back there AGAIN!

Anyway, went to see the Nuc Med doctor afterwards. He was a very nice old man.
He was very confident and that eased my mind a bit.
I am still nervous about what if they find a glowing spot in my lungs? Or my liver? What then?
He said I am low risk and that this ablation dose should most likely "cure" me.
*le sigh*
I don't like wasting my thoughts on such things, but I can't help my thoughts lingering on this...

I will be visiting my sister to see her newborn baby girl this weekend.
I am very excited. I wanted to get this visit over with before I do my RAI so that I don't have to worry about contaminating my baby niece...
I'm blabbering. I guess I'm just nervous and stressed out about my further treatments...
Ahhh.... my blood test results are still not in.
Damn.
