Three things make a post

1. Dear Bruce: I cannot tell you what your schedule is if you do not bring said schedule home from work first. Getting annoyed with me from the cardiologist office does not make me magically able to know what your schedule is. Bring the damn thing home like I asked. Thanks. Me.

2. It is damn hot here. And we don't have an air conditioner, so this 90° class is kind of rough. Robbie and Katrina are not sleeping well at all because of the heat, which makes everyone cranky.

3. I have a growth on my thyroid that may be cancer. I'm getting blood work tomorrow and CT on Friday, so hopefully I should know more by the end of next week. Though even the worst case scenario is really not bad. If I have to pick a type of cancer to get it would definitely be thyroid.

I've had a "nodule" on my thyroid since 1999, I think. Apparently, it's very common in women and not usually a problem. Just to be sure, I've had ultrasounds, biopsies, and once, some kind of radioactive test to make sure my thyroid was working correctly.

I saw an endocrinologist for a while, but it never changed and my current doctor after we moved didn't really see a need for it. Now, I just have to have my doctors keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow, and have my thyroid levels checked each year.

I'm sending good thoughts that it's much the same for you!

Thanks! We're pretty sure it is impairing my thyroid function; I have all the symptoms from weight gain to hair loss to muscle soreness. And I have a pretty extensive family history of thyroid crap on both sides, only one case of cancer, but lots and lots of hypothyroid, even in the men.
