had my biopsy

And it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. It hurt soo much even after they supposedly numbed me. Course getting four HUGE needles stuck into your throat so they can take samples of your thyroid is just not fun.

I feel a bit better today, not as sore but it still hurts like a son of a bitch to move my neck.


I should have my results by Friday when I see the Specialist. Hopefully it will be good news.

Fringe

I love that show!!! I cant even begin to go on about its coolness factor. Lost (nothing is cooler than Lost) is still on top but Fringe is a very very close second.

AND NIMOY IS THE BIG BAD GUY!!! My geeky life is good.

Not sure about doctors

I had an appointment last week to see the surgeon. There is a possiblity that I will have to have surgery on my thyroid. I get there the surgeon has no idea why I am even there. Great. I didnt make the appointment, the nurse at my regular doctor did. Hell, I did not even know about the appointment until the week before. I havent seen my doctor since Febuary. Okay, that's fine but he does decide to schedule a biopsy. Says it will take an hour, in and out I dont even need anyone to drive me, nothing. Great, okay. The nurse from his office calls me later that day with my appointment except she tells me, its at 1pm, be there two hours ahead of time. Instead of going to Ultrasound (this is a fine needle biospy that is suppose to be ultrasound guided) I go to surgery, I am not allowed to eat or drink after 9 am and I have to have sound who can drive me home. What???? Now I am confused. The surgeon also told me that the meds I have been on for almost two months AND which my regular doctor did not give me a refill on are not even to control my hyperthryoid...just the symptoms, which it is no longer doing as well and that they cant do anything for me until I see the expert. Which isnt for another month.

This is almost as bad as when I first went to the doctor about the shaking, nervousness...basically all the classical symptoms of hyperthryoid...and all he wanted to give me without any blood tests was pills for a nervous disorder. I am glad I didnt take them, I knew it was something else even if I didnt know it was hyperthyroid at the time but that was almost three years ago. I have been dealing with all these crazy symptoms and such for years and now that someone finally knows what it is I have still had to wait almost three months (another to go) before I can even see the expert.

I am exhausted.
