Today is the day. Mom's going to pick me up around 8:30 to take me to the hospital to take the iodine. Then I'll be at their house until sometime on Monday. Bye bye thyroid. -
Graves' Disease
It's official, I have Graves' Disease. I will have radioactive iodine on the 20th to kill the thyroid. Then, I get to live with Mom and Dad for several days, so my radioactivity doesn't spread to hubby and the kids. Mom has already had her thyroid killed off and I just have to keep my distance from Dad. Pumpkin wouldn't stay away, Squish ( Read more... ) -
People annoy me
I went to work today and was doing what I was supposed to do. The guy in the fitting room needed to go to his meal break, so I covered the fitting room for an hour. Before the hour was up, one of my co-workers asked me if I was in the fitting room today, no.. infants. I told her that I had gotten started putting away ladies and had to cover and ( Read more... ) -
Oh, yeah

Specialist
Doc looked at my test results (high thyroid, low iron) and looked at my second test results (still high thyroid, low iron). He was ready to just go to the radiologist and jump right into me drinking the radioactive iodine cocktail to kill off part of my thyroid. HUH? WTF? Thankfully, before I even asked for it, he decided to send me to an ( Read more... ) -
Blood test results
Well, I have borderline anemia and elevated thyroid. My mother and two cousins had Graves' Disease, so it's not all that unlikely that I could have it. I go to the doctor Thursday to go over the results with him and figure out our next step. -
Status of me
Yesterday was an angry day. I was just kind of grumpy all day, but not too bad until hubby hit me in the eye with a rubber band. I went OFF!!! In the middle of my bitching, just as I was about to laugh it off and say 'It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye' he tried to apologize. Well, since I was in the middle of talking, he didn't ( Read more... ) -
Shadow Puppets and the library
I finally got to see James Marsters' movie Shadow Puppets and I loved it. You definately don't want to watch the (very short) director and cast commentary on the DVD until AFTER seeing the movie. They give major spoilers which will color your whole view of the movie (they even warn you NOT to watch until after you watch the movie). But, yeah, I ( Read more... ) -
down
Hubby is trying to get on disability for his seizure disorder. We got a letter the other day saying that he needs to go to their shrink for a mental exam and psychological testing. It (and other things) got me thinking that maybe I needed to go see a shrink. I'm not 'crazy', just down. Then, I got to examining reasons why I might feel this way ( Read more... ) -
Work, kids, cats, and eyes
Work sucks. They keep coming up with stupid, new rules and proceedures. I don't even want to go into it all now, just to say that Wal-Mart sucks for me right now ( Read more... )
