Digging out

I've been really feeling down and out the past couple of days and haven't been posting since I felt I just should keep my nasty mood to myself. Testing for one thing and coming up with a new and different ailment and not really getting any of the current ailments fully under contol has made me feel a bit on the paranoid side and seriously wondering what is the point of exercise and trying to eat right. I know in my heart that that is the wrong way to feel but unfortunately the mind is going in another direction.

I met with the endroconologist today. I actually ended up going to someone other than who my doctor had recommended since it took them almost 3 days to get back to me to set up an appointment and couldn't tell me whether they accepted my insurance or not. Bless my DH's heart he inquired around amongst his coworkers and found the wife of someone who has had almost the identical thyroid problem as myself. We talked for a while and she gave me the name of her doctor. I called his office and had an appointment the next day. He was very reassuring and he was able to do the needle biopsy right in his office. I won't say that was a pleasant experience in fact it was rather unpleasant but it was probably better to get it over with. Although I'm really glad I didn't know it was going to happen. DH was actually going to come with but I convinced him that it wasn't necessary since I didn't think that procedure would happen today. Anyway, that portion is done and now it's just waiting for probably about a week for the results. I even got the sonogram picture of the cyst as a souvenior-wondering where I should hang such a lovely item!

So that's my tale of woe for the week and next week will be a week of results first from my latest blood test and for the biopsy results. It will certainly be interesting to see how my blood pressure has reacted to all of this

I feel a bit more relieved now that this portion is over and maybe my mind will go back into a better frame of mind.

Susan, I'm holding some really good thoughts for you that everything is going to be okay with the cyst and that your blood test results are going to be moving in the right direction. I'll cross my fingers and toes too!!

Don't *not* post because your feeling down. That's what friends are for! We totally understand.

I will be praying and thinking of you that all goes well with your biopsy and blood tests. Sorry you are feeling so down, but glad you "dug out" and posted on how things are with you. Don't be afraid to post any time no matter what mood you are in. We all have those "nasty moods". I don't think anyone whined more than me about my darn feet!


Please keep us posted and I hope you have a nice TGIF tomorrow and a wonderful Mother's Day.


Hugs


Grace

I'm glad you posted today, I've missed you.I think the fact that you were able to get in with this dr so soon and have the biopsy done is a very good thing.Sorry to hear it wasn't pleasant but glad you have that over with.I know all this waiting you've been doing has to be hard.Very sweet of your DH to ask around and find someone for you to talk to and to find the name of a dr.Keeping you in my thoughts.Wish we lived close enough to walk together while you wait.

I'm glad you decided to post today. It makes it so much better if you can share your feelings and have people give you support when you're going through trying times. I know you guys have sure been a lifeline for me with my dad, Tim, Erin,

Susan hugs to you. I am hoping that things turn out positive. Do not, not post because of being in a funk or any other mood. Goodness knows this place is so uplifting and helpful. I feel like all I do is complain. You are going through some tuff stuff now and now is when you need your friends, even cyber ones to lean on. Keep us posted and just know you are in my thoughts and prayers......love you!

Wish I had a magic wand to wave all this uncertainty away. It's hard to remain positive and proactive when you're facing things that are trying to hold you back.

The ray of sunshine is that you've found a doctor who seems interested enough in you to move forward with this. Praying for *good* results on this.

Susan - I hope you can get some relaxation in this weekend. It is Mother's Day, after all!

So sorry to hear that things keep showing up that weren't issues previously and that the old things still aren't resolved. Don't give up on your exercise and attempts to eat better - if nothing else, try to use the walks with Otto and the other physical activities you're doing to get your mind off what's happening. Easier said than done - if I could calm my mind, I might actually enjoy yoga, but that's not to be at this stage of my life. Maybe later.

Huggss coming your way! Thinking about you...

I will keep my fingers crossed and keep you in my prayers for good results with both procedures, Susan! I hope you feel better soon - I can't imagine how frustrating this all is for you.
