Waiting, Waiting, and more Waiting

I feel so horrible. I've come off of my thyroid medication to prepare for my radiation treatment. I've been having blood taken every three days. My levels have to be at a magic number, 25 before my treatments can start. Yesterday, I received the call that I've finally made it to 25. Whoooo!

In addition to coming off of my little white pills, I've had to go on a low iodine diet. This diet sucks. I'm allowed 4 oz. of meat a day and all of the fruits and veggies I can eat. When this is over you can find me at the nearest taco bell. I'm freaking starving!

Yesterday I felt so terrible that I left work early. I've gotten 14 hours of sleep and still feel totally drained. I'm attempting to rally and go in today since it may be my last day of work for a week or so, but my body doesn't want to move off of this couch. It's hard to describe exactly how I feel, honestly. It's a mixture of complete exhaustion and severe muscle pain. Plus, I've become clumsier than normal, and have fallen down my stairs not once, but twice. Look out below!

I'm waiting on a call from my doctor today to schedule a day for my treatments. It will either be tomorrow or Monday. Fingers crossed it's sooner rather then later.
I'll keep you all in the loop.

Thanks again for your continued love and support. Those close to me know that this has been a horrible week for all involved. A special thanks to Tom and my mom who are often on the receiving end of my rants and raves. They both deserve medals.
