2:15 P.M. Was the appointment but...

Three-thirty is when I was finally seen.
And yes, I am speaking about my follow-up doctor’s appointment to get my ‘abnormal’ results of my blood-work.
It was either taking this ‘appointment’ or waiting until next week.
I left it up to Hubby and he agreed to take it, and then if we still had some money left we would go out to celebrate his big day.

Oh, the results, I am getting to that, yes, something was off kilter, but not anything that I expected, but always kind of thought could eventually be proven… a weight gaining related problem that gives some of us gals an excuse that is legit!
What is it you are wondering?
I may as well tell you instead of keeping some of you waiting while others probably already figured it out… MY THYROID!

Not really too bad but over the legal/normal limit my TSH was 5.590 with the norm range from 0.450-4.500 and so now I am on another medication, Levothryroxine 25 mcg! And the beat goes on… this one cannot agree with my Pepcid Complete and so figuring out when to take it with the other will be tricky!
And my Triglycerides were high too at 163 with norms in 0-149, but my total cholesterol was 182; so who cares… I am OK, besides I am on medication for that already!

Oddly enough, my stomach has been acting up, but we went out to celebrate after the bill was not too bad after all, half what I thought it would be seeing a nurse instead of the doctor.
The new prescription was less than ten bucks for a three months supply.
And so Hubby chose Chili’s for his birthday dinner, I suppose taking so long at the health department made our dinner on our usually time of five-ish.
I told the server it was Hubby’s birthday and he got a free dessert that he shared with me a wee bit a yummy brownie dripping with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream, but I could not eat too much, my tummy hurt.
And it still does…and so I will close early tonight, and no, I did not try my new medicine yet since I had to take a Pepcid I will take it first thing tomorrow, OK?

And so I will say my usual and that is: allow me to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to count all of your blessings and ask you kindly to share all of your overages and we will too!

Next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
