Radioactive girl!!!

Today was my day at the hospital. I had a couple of blood tests last week and it was discovered that I am hyperthyroid. But the blood test was not good enough. I also had to have a thyroid scan and a thyroid ultrasound. The scan required me to swallow a radioactive pill which I had to take with a plastic cup since I was not allowed to touch it. lol I kept hoping I would get superpowers today but nope...nothing. But I did find out that I have a REALLY big thyroid which is what has been affecting my swallowing for the last few years. I choke very easily and I had always thought it was just me, but it turns out I have a big ass thyroid. lol But no superpowers.

I start the pills tomorrow and then go to the doctor again next week.
