Scan Results

So, I was hoping to post more during my scan week, but I was busy preparing an unplanned trip to Florida to help take care of Josh's grandma & her husband.

I didn't get the results of the scan right away, and had to wait until the Monday after (3/28). The results seemed good. Compared to my scan results in July, it looks good, and the blood work looks good compared to the last one. There is a faint spot of thyroid tissue, and they'll be doing an ultrasound at my next appointment (which is tomorrow).

I'm not sure what that means, but I think that since the blood work is good, there's no problems right now. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Nothing too major, but still a lot more info to get. I'll let you know after my appointment what happens, when I can get all the info.

Almost done!

I really meant to write evreryday this week, but I'm a major slacker when it comes to blogging. I had my 2 TSH injections yesterday and today, and the worst of the check-up process is finally over! The first shot really burned, and my arm is still sore. The second shot, which I had today, didn't really burn it all.

I took a 3 hour nap yesterday, and a 10 minute nap today. Tomorrow, I go in for blood work & to get the RAI. Hopefully everything is going to go well, and nothing is abnormal. I found out that the coconut milk that I had had a few times I probably shouldn't have had, which is making me nervous. We'll find out in a couple days.

I'll update you on Friday after my scan!

Day 3

I am on day 3 of the low iodine diet. I decided to take an extra week and do this diet, partially so I could start on March 1 and it would be easy to remember, and partially so I can lose a little more weight. I put on everything I lost before the wedding.

So far, I'm doing well. It's only been 3 days, so it's been a pain, but not unbearable yet. I should have gotten myself a little more prepared with food, because there are some times that I don't have something I need. Oh well, I'll get myself prepared!
