Gilligan and Tristan starting a race at Malcolm King park, a park near our house (we live right near "Green Park", a Gaithersburg park but about a half mile away there is another city park that has trails, soccer fields, the Muddy Branch river and some tennis courts)
This week has been really busy. I have been busy with work and have had a few medical issues to deal with. Tuesday I had a scan of my thyroid. As usual the radiologist (?) would not tell me anything about what she saw. A few times I tried to peer over to the screen but I have no idea exactly what a thyroid is supposed to look like (butterfly shaped organ is all I know). And the scans look like horror movies from the 1970's.
After my thyroid scan I got my yearly blood draw to test my thyroid levels. My doctor suggested my neck looks a bit swollen so now I am stuck getting a bunch of extra tests (and recently I have been REALLY careful about taking my meds everyday...my last missed dose was Rocky Raccoon because I never woke up, thus had no idea when to take it--my prescription says "take immediately upon getting up":-). If this neck swelling is related to my thyroid it may mean I get a higher dose of levoxyl (which there is only 1 dose higher on the market!), otherwise I guess I will have more tests.
Since our place is close to a hospital/medical facility, I was able to run to and from my appointments. After my blood draw I ran home. This may have not been the smartest thing. In my defense they never said not to exercise like the blood donation folks. Well, now I await the results.
