This week I was sent in to the doctor again to have a thyroid scan. The point of this scan was to find out what kind of nodule I have, cold or active. Cold means that it is just there but not doing anything, and active means that it has turned itself into a second thyroid and can create more than a few problems. So Monday morning after going through all the usual questions doctors always ask (is there history of cancer in the family, history of thyroid problems etc. etc.) they gave me a pill of radioactive iodine and then told me to come back at 2:00 for them to measure how much of the radiation my thyroid had absorbed then to scan it and do the photos of it, I was then sent home again and told to come back at 10:00 the next morning for them to check the levels again. Last night we got the results which are that the nodule is cold and that my two choices are to have them observe it, which means regular doctor appointments, or to have it surgically removed and not have to do anything else for it for the rest of my life, I am rooting for the surgery and mom and dad pretty much think that would be the best way to go too. So that is where it all stands right now.
A couple weeks ago Mom, Jo, and I flew out to California for a few days and then drove back in a car we were buying, bringing my Grammie back with us. Now insted of making you put up with my long ramblings about how the trip was I will just make you put up with all the pictures. :)
